Every Mastery Program dentist spends two days at the Ottawa TMJ and Sleep Apnea Clinic, shadowing Dr. Dahan and his team and seeing the whole system work in real time.
Training explains the method. Coaching keeps you moving. The mentorship visit shows you what the finished system looks like: how the day is scheduled, how the team speaks with patients, how records flow and how each visit ends with a clear next step.
Dentists often say this is when the program clicks. The forms and protocols they have been reading about become a rhythm they can recognise and bring home.
