Testimonials
Being a part of a chapter means that I am always learning and growing and I am not alone. I have the support and encouragement of my chapter members plus the AADOM tribe. We are a support group like no other. I would not be where I'm at in my career without them.
Tricia Calhoun
AADOM local is a game changer. Being able to meet with other dental managers that are dealing with the same issues as our office is eye opening. I no longer feel like I am on an island. I have made lifelong friendships and have been able to further my education and career.

Grant Smith DDS
Clear Aligners:
Transforming Smiles and Sleep Health
We're thrilled to invite you to an educational evening with Dr. Grant Smith as he returns to KC Dental Connection to share insights on how Clear Aligner Therapy is reshaping the way dental teams approach both smile aesthetics and sleep-disordered breathing.
What You'll Learn
Whether you're an Office Manager or part of the Business Office team, this event will give you valuable tools to:
• Understand the connection between malocclusion and obstructive sleep apnea
• Explore how clear aligners can help improve smiles, bites, and breathing
• Identify new opportunities to market these services to current and new patients
• Support your doctors in building a more profitable and comprehensive practice
Dr. Smith brings a practical, real-world approach to implementing these services successfully—and he’ll show you how to become a stronger partner in your practice’s growth.
