SUMMARY:West Side Branch | Dental coding & Practice management
DESCRIPTION:Join the West Side Branch at The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association in Oak Park on October 6\, 2026 for the lecture “Dental coding updates and practice management gems” presented by Erin Wilk and Meghan Conger. \nCourse Description: We all know that the ADA Current Dental Terminology (CDT) codes change every year. But do we really understand the indication for those new codes\, why they were created\, and how they are reimbursed? In this session\, Erin Wilk and Meghan Conger from Dynamic Dental Advisors will catch us up to speed on the important changes to the CDT\, why code utilization matters\, and how it affects your bottom line. \nSpeaker Bio: Erin Wilk is the Director of Business Development at Dynamic Dental Advisors (DDA). She has a lifetime of dental knowledge having grown up with a dentist as a dad. More recently\, she has spent more than 12 years in the industry\, primarily in dental administrative roles. These have included patient coordinator\, patient relations\, marketing director\, human resources\, and office manager. Prior to her work in the dental industry\, she received a degree in Health Science and a minor in Spanish from Bradley University and then spent several years in New York City marketing independently owned spas. Her skill set includes office communication\, both internal and external\, team engagement\, creating office processes\, and marketing dental practices. \nMeghan Conger is the Co-Founder and CEO of Dynamic Dental Advisors. She works with practice owners to develop a custom roadmap\, specific to their practice’s unique needs\, to become more profitable and achieve long-term success. Prior to founding DDA\, Meghan was a faculty member and practice dynamics program manager at Marquette University School of Dentistry and worked in a variety of dental practice settings. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Understand recent and upcoming changes to the CDT codes\n2. Learn how your practice’s code utilization affects dental insurance coverage\, reimbursement rates\, and epidemiological studies.\n3. Gain additional practice management and leadership gems applicable to any practice setting and stage in your career \nCE Hours: 1.5 \n*RSVP before October 2\, 2026 and complete payment once your registration is confirmed.
