Dental Continuing Education in Northwest Indiana

Searching for dental continuing education in Northwest Indiana? Dr. Bennett's Dental Collaborative runs an ITI Study Club (International Team for Implantology) in Chesterton for dentists and dental teams across the region, with continuing education credits offered to all participating dental professionals.

Sessions bring in respected speakers, leaders, and innovators from across the country, built around real cases, open dialogue, and practical takeaways you can use the next morning. Practices join us from Chesterton, Valparaiso, Portage, Merrillville, Crown Point, Michigan City, and La Porte.

CE Credits for Dentists and Dental Teams

The collaborative proudly offers continuing education credits to all participating dental professionals. Whether the topic is digital workflows, full-arch implant treatment protocols, or reading a CBCT with confidence, members can expect evidence-based programming that enhances clinical excellence and patient care.

Event Details & RSVP

Who Attends

Study club sessions are built for the whole dental team:

Continuing Education for Dental Hygienists

Dental hygienists are full members of the collaborative team, and continuing education for dental hygienists is part of the program. Hygienists see patients more often than anyone else in the practice; our sessions give hygiene professionals the same case-based learning, from peri-implant maintenance to early detection, with continuing education credits offered to all participating dental professionals.

Hygienists are also covered by our partner training: free BLS certification and renewal for dental hygienists and their whole office, through our partner offers.

Hygiene C.E. Nights at the Education Facility

Our hygiene CE program is taught by a dental hygienist with a decade of clinical experience, and we bring in guest speakers for dedicated hygiene evenings at our Education Facility in Chesterton: focused 2-hour courses, free for the hygienists of our referring practices, with CE credits and practical takeaways for the hygiene chair.

Additional guest speakers are joining the hygiene CE calendar as the program grows. Full details for every session are on our events page, and past sessions are in the past events archive.
