Gingival recession and black triangles affect nearly half your patients, yet most dentists are still telling patients to “watch it.” Meanwhile, 92% refuse gum graft surgery, leaving them with nowhere to turn and you with untreated disease walking out the door.
The Gum BuilderTM course teaches you AAFE’s exclusive CaHA filler protocols for treating recession, hypersensitivity, and dreaded black triangles without surgery or composite. Treatment takes just minutes, with little to no post-operative pain, and results patients can feel within days.
You don’t need any previous experience or training in fillers to attend. You’ll leave with everything you need to start treating immediately: live patient certification, dental insurance codes, patient consultation materials, and a procedure your patients will say yes to on the spot.
AAFE’s Gum BuilderTM training is your next step to practice growth.
Evaluate and treat patients to achieve the best possible gingival recession, tooth hypersensitivity, and black triangle outcomes
Deliver CaHA filler therapy using AAFE's exclusive Gum BuilderTM protocols with live patient proficiency

"It’s a really good cross-pollination. My injectable practice benefits from the established relationships I already have with my patients. And I’m getting new dental patients because of the injectable side."
"Just being able to do something I love every day and seeing happy patients has been a huge part of what’s motivated me to continue on this journey."
"It adds a little bit more with a little bit less effort, and it’s really been helping our bottom line."
