Our Approach

A Smarter Way To Practice Dentistry

It starts with how you see the patient: at Spear Education, we believe dentistry is more than a profession — it’s a craft rooted in purposeful growth and connection. That’s why our approach to continuing education is designed to deliver not just knowledge but also clarity, collaboration, and confidence.

Our Approach
Facially Generated Treatment Planning

Facially Generated Treatment Planning

Through Facially Generated Treatment Planning (FGTP), we help dentists reimagine how they approach patient care, from everyday exams to full-mouth rehabilitations. FGTP is a new lens for how you see your patients, your practice, and your role as a clinician.

See the whole patient, not just a problem

Relying on surface-level diagnosis — focusing only on what’s visible in the mouth, like a broken tooth or worn enamel — limits your ability to deliver lasting results. With Treatment Planning With Confidence, you’ll learn to see the bigger picture: behaviors, health history, daily habits, and personal context. This deeper understanding leads to:

  • Better diagnoses
  • Stronger patient relationships
  • More effective case presentations
  • Care that feels personal and valuable
  • Case acceptance

“The key is to share with all your patients the possibilities that exist so they can decide if they want to investigate them — not by presenting a treatment plan, but by presenting possibilities!”

— Dr. Jill Kinzer, Spear Aesthetics, Washington
