For Dentists in Chicago, IL
Dental CE Seminar for Chicago Dentists — in Clearwater, FL.

Why Chicago Dentists Travel to Clearwater
The case mix in Chicago is exactly what this seminar was built for.
Chicago dentists who make the trip overwhelmingly cite one reason: the full-mouth case load is real, the prosthodontists in town stay booked, and the cases that get referred out at $25k+ are the ones that should stay in-house. After two days in Clearwater, your hygiene-to-restorative conversion ratio is the lever; this is the seminar that moves it.
Most Chicago-area attendees fly into Tampa International Airport (TPA) from ORD / MDW — typically a single nonstop, ~2.5 hours nonstop. Clearwater is a 20-minute drive from TPA, and the seminar venue is 10 minutes from Clearwater Beach. Many dentists fly in Thursday, train Friday and Saturday, and stay on the Gulf through Sunday.
Chicago-area attendees most commonly came through University of Illinois Chicago, Midwestern, Loyola — though dentists from every dental school in the country attend, and the protocols translate across training backgrounds.
The math, honestly
One full-mouth case pays for the trip.
In Chicago, the average full-mouth restorative case the typical GP currently refers out runs $25–60k. Tuition + flight + hotel runs well under $4k. One case kept in-house in your first year covers the seminar several times over.
No new equipment required
Use what you already have on Monday morning.
The protocols are taught so any Chicago-area GP with a typical operatory setup — intraoral scanner, articulator, photographs — can implement every technique the week they get back. No bonded systems to buy. No CAD/CAM commitment.
Bring your team — or your spouse
Clearwater Beach, 10 minutes from the venue.
Most Chicago attendees treat the trip as a working weekend. Companions are welcome at Saturday's cocktail hour with the doctors; the assistant hands-on course is available for staff who want a parallel program in the same office.
