Mini-Residency in State-of-the-Art Endodontics: Taking Your Endodontics BEYOND the Next Level
West John
Overview

Endodontics Hands On

Endo skills to Find, Follow, and Finish

John and Jordan West have designed a 4-day hands-on Mini-residency in the Mastery of Endodontics. This dental course is for those practitioners who wish to incorporate endodontics into their treatment offerings and want to take their endodontic understanding and technique to the highest level.

“Endo Skill Sets” – Find, Follow, and Finish the root canal system with highest Confidence

Some of the participants attending the course are endodontists, some are trying to limit their practices to endodontic procedures or have it as an important portion in the mix of their services, and some are dentists who want to do better endodontics as a part of the services they render.

Your best Option to get Proficient, Efficient and Profitable in Endodontics

Our history with this dental course has shown that everyone attending it will leave with dramatically improved skills in performing endodontic procedures.

Dres. Wests will tailor their teaching to “where you are currently and where you want to be”. The small group format at IDEA allows for individualized training. There are breakout sessions just for you, to exercise your individual questions.

I can't say enough good things about IDEA and the John and Jordan West Endo course. I am leaving feeling completely transformed in the way I practice endodontics, and I know I am giving my patients the highest quality of care.

root canal treatment course

I have been in practice for 2 years, and by taking this valuable course early on in my career, I have started with good habits and the right knowledge to enjoy doing endo for years to come. Faculty were extremely helpful and available, the perfect size class for such a hands on course. Balance of clinic time to lecture time was ideal.

This course provided more experience and expertise than I could ever have hoped. Coming in, I was hoping to gain hands on experience to become comfortable with molar endo. Before coming to this course I had only completed one molar RCT in my career. Leaving this course I am confident in my ability to do almost all endo I may encounter, instead of consistently referring out. I would highly recommend this course to any practitioner of any experience level.

One of the best courses I have been to. Very detailed! John and Jordan on one-on-one basis guide you, answer your questions, show you tips, tricks and solution to do endo on any teeth with confidence without creating difficult situation for yourself. Love the inspiration and encouragement they give you. Highly recommend this course. Seeing through and practicing with microscope gives us deep insights for tooth anatomy and the way we approach.

The Endo Mini-Residency course gave me the confidence to go back to my practice and provide quality work to my patients. I came in nervous to access molars, but with John and Jordan's class I not only feel confident with accessing, but completing challenging molar root canals. I would recommend it for anyone trying to take that next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

This course is ideal for General Practitioners, Pediatric Dentists, and Orthodontists who want to expand their expertise in early prevention orthodontics. Whether you plan to treat young patients directly or refer them appropriately, the course equips you with the knowledge to make accurate diagnostic decisions and initiate early treatment when necessary.

Unlike traditional orthodontics, which often focuses on visible signs and delayed intervention, this course introduces a functional, evidence-based approach centered around Sato’s Craniomandibular Orthodontics. It emphasizes early diagnostics, physiological mandibular positioning, and vertical dimension control to guide natural growth and reduce the need for surgery or extractions later on.
The course is focused on treating children of any age—from early milk dentition through mixed dentition stages. You’ll learn how to identify early signs of dental and skeletal malocclusion and implement treatment at the right developmental stage.

This treatment concept is effective in managing a wide range of malocclusions and issues such as:

  • Class II and III Malocclusions

  • Crossbites

  • Mandibular Lateral Displacement (MLD)

  • High or Low Angle Skeletal Growth Patterns

  • TMJ Disorders in children
    By addressing these issues early, the approach significantly reduces the need for future orthognathic surgery and premolar extractions.

After the course, you’ll gain:

  • A new, efficient treatment concept that avoids removable appliances and prioritizes functional diagnostics

  • Evidence-based techniques that support skeletal and dental development

  • Enhanced ability to protect the TMJ and improve overall physical health

  • Immediate tools to implement early orthodontic treatment and become a leading provider in your area for pediatric dental care
