Dr. John Cranham and Lee Culp CDT have come together to ease the transition of any dental practice to the digital world. The community of like-minded dentists and laboratory technicians have two things in common. First they provide optimum, comprehensive care for their patients. And two, they have a strong desire to provide that care utilizing 100 percent digital workflows. Because every dental practice is different, special emphasis is placed on aligning the appropriate curriculum for each unique style of practice.

Option 3: Become a CCDD Digital Designer
The CCDD Digital Designer level is for the dental team who want to put the articulators and waxers in the closet, and to plan comprehensive cases, digitally, at a very high level. You will learn how to mount on a digital articulator, perform trial equilibrations, do beautiful/functionally correct diagnostic designs (waxups), design splints, provisionals, digital dentures and much more. As you will grow, implementing a printer or a mill is a natural transition. Each practice will need to purchase the 3Shape Premium (or Complete Restorative) Lab software that will provide you with the virtual articulator and all the tools to do all the things previously performed in the analog world, in your new digital comprehensive care practice. It should be noted that ANY scanner works with this software. You do NOT need to be using a Trios scanner to go down this path. CCDD works directly with Ivoclar Corporation who distributes the software, makes recommendations about appropriate hardware, and handles the onboarding process. They also will provide you with amazing support.
In the CCDD Digital Designer package you receive all the benefits of a CCDD member along with robust online training videos and practice STL files. You or a team member will follow along with John and Lee to master the buttonology of the software. It will start with the fundamentals, and will progress to advanced designs. The possibilities are endless!!
Subscription fee: $300.00 per month
1-on-1 Online Coaching
Coaching is available for learning the "buttonolgy of the software, or for treatment planning complex cases. One of the best aspects of digital planning is you can be sitting in a different state than your coach, and be looking at the same data on a screen. It will be as if you are in the same room as you evaluate xrays, a cbct, a virtual articulator, or a photograph series. Coaching is available for Doctors and team members and can be purchased in single sessions or in bulk.
All great workflows begin with great data
You will learn to evaluate your own photographs, digital scans, virtual mountings and make 100 percent sure they are at the standard they they should be. Training can be implemented to idealize the process. Every great case begins with great data!
The Transition to DIGITAL
Having the tools to do everything on a traditional articulator, in a virtual environment has John and Lee more excited then at any other time in their careers! You will learn how to go from scanning, to mount on a digital articulator, to virtual equilibrate, move teeth, reshape teeth, and wax teeth into optimum position. These work flows will dramatically save the practice time, and increase accuracy and improve the productivity of the practice.
Changing Patients Lives
In the end it is about the patient. Having protocols in place that will allow you to go from gathering data, to three dimensional treatment planning, to the placement of optimum provisional restorations, to delivering a beautiful final result that exceeds the patients expectations, is what it is all about. We have found the digital protocols we teach in this program, only improves the ability and efficiency of hitting our mark.
"Digital dentistry, in the absence of sound occlusal, esthetic and restorative principles will only allow a dentist to screw up mouths even faster."
-Peter E. Dawson DDS
While this is humorous, no truer words have been spoken. Digital workflows must be first anchored in sound principles; sadly many of them are not! Cranham Culp Digital Dental will help you integrate digital workflows into your practice, as well as solidify your knowledge of occlusal design, esthetic design, optimum treatment planning, sequencing, and customizing treatment plans for patients with various obstacles. Quite simply...it will make you a better dentist.
Hi, I’m John Cranham. I am a husband, father of three amazing young adults, a dentist and a dental educator.
Over the years Lee and I have taught thousands of Dentists and Lab Technicians in many different formats. The most gratifying aspect of teaching is seeing one of your students have success. Yet success has many levels. Our collective goal is to solve patients problems, run successful businesses (providing an excellent income), and ultimately be able to have ample time outside the office and Lab for things that matter the most. Our hope is that our calibration together, in this teaching/coaching format, will help our clients attain a similar level of success.
