Master Path
Nearly four decades of restorative teaching, built into one path. Dr. Richard Stevenson designed seven courses that take you from the foundations of esthetic restorative dentistry through full-mouth rehabilitation.
The mentor-apprentice relationship that built great dentists since the 1920s has nearly disappeared. The Master Path series is how we bring it back, one course at a time.
Why the Path Works
Most continuing education gives you a topic for a weekend and sends you home. You learn something, but the next hard case still feels like the first one. Skill does not come from one lecture. It comes from working a technique enough times, with someone experienced watching, until it becomes your own.
That is how I built Master Path. The seven courses follow the order I would teach them myself, from a solid foundation in esthetic restorative dentistry through full-mouth rehabilitation.
The goal is always the same: restorations that fit well, last long, and look natural, and the confidence to do that work every day.

Seven Courses, One Progressive Path
The path moves from foundation to full-mouth rehabilitation, and each course builds on the one before it. Take them in order, or take a single course to work on one area.
Early-career dentists feel the loss of hands-on mentorship the most, so we keep these courses within reach, with a new-doctor discount for anyone who graduated within the last five years. All discounts apply automatically at checkout.
Taught by the Dentist’s Dentist
Dr. Stevenson teaches every Master Path course, with assisting instructors supporting the hands-on work.
