7-Day Dental Bench Course (Jul 07 - 13, 2025)
In-Person Event
Jul 07 - 13, 2025
San Dimas, California, USA
56 CEs OVERVIEW
7-Day Dental Bench Course is organized by Stevenson Dental Solutions and will be held from Jul 07 - 13, 2025 at Stevenson Dental Solutions, San Dimas, California, United States of America.
Description:
During this 7-day review course, Dr. Stevenson will personally work with you to hone your skills in operative dentistry, with a distinct focus on class II and III Preparation and Restoration for Amalgams and Composites, Class IV and V composites, and Fixed Prosthodontics covering the FGC, PFM, and All-Ceramic Crowns and Onlays.
Each day will start with a quiz, mock bench test, and a review of the standards expected by the testing Universities, followed by a live demonstration. After the morning exams and review, a specific assignment will be given, which has been carefully selected based on a particular skill to master. Students will then work at their station with a provided manikin and perform the assignment while being mentored by Dr. Stevenson. He will frequently watch your chair position and provide you with helpful tips and techniques to follow to improve your results. During the prepping sessions, numerous “mini demos” will be given to address issues that most students face. The demos will be completed with our state-of-the-art HD video camera, including feedback and mock bench exam critique sessions. During the evenings, the center will remain open until 9 pm for guided practice with an SDS Mentor. Dr. Stevenson developed this method of instruction because it has been proven to be highly effective at accelerating your skills and deepening your understanding of what it takes to become excellent in dentistry.

ACCREDITATION & CREDITS
7-Day Bench Prep Course with Certification:
Stevenson signature dental course for US dental schools CAAPID bench tests with Certificate of Competency in didactic and hands-on Restorative Dentistry. 56 CEs.
Competency Certificate Overview:
The CAAPID application is stressful, frustrating, and consuming. We want you to successfully obtain admission into a US Dental School on your first (or next) cycle. To do this, you must build a great profile on CAAPID. You need to stand apart from the rest and finding ways to improve your profile are difficult. Opportunities may not exist in your local area (like dental assisting, research, and formal University programs).
We have an impactful solution to this dilemma: the Stevenson Dental Bench Competency Certificate Program. During our 7-day or 10-day courses and our 30-day long preceptorship, we will keep a score of your progress with numerical grades, both with hands-on practicals and didactic quizzes. Earning at least a 3.0 (practical exams) and 75% (Didactic quizzes and exams) during the course will grant you a Competency Certificate from Dr. Richard Stevenson, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Dentistry. You may proudly list this accomplishment in the CE and Awards Sections of your CAAPID application. More and more schools are already seeing the benefit of Stevenson Dental Education Graduates and are referring students to us for training. As many schools are going to virtual interviews, the strength of your CAAPID profile has never been more important
The Certificate of Competency certifies both your hands-on skills and didactic knowledge levels:
- During the course, we will grade and record your hands-on skills level anonymously on every mock exam using a 0-5 scale
- Daily MCQ quizzes and a written final exam will be given to assess didactic knowledge
- Average course grade (or a final exam grade) of 3.0/5.0 on hands-on and a 75% on written exams will earn a Competency Certification Award
- The award is signed by Dr. Stevenson, deeming that you achieved the level of Competency in Restorative Dentistry during the course
- Not all course participants will achieve an award of competency
- Those who do not earn the award will have additional chances to prove competency after further practice.
