Testimonials & Articles

"I have had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. John Cranham and see first hand his teachings, the practical applications of his techniques and the results from treatment provided to patients. Many of the dentists I work with have attended John's courses and have been able to return to their practices and immediately put their newly acquired information to work. This has allowed those dentists to better serve their patients and provide more long term, comprehensive care. He has taken information from the finest mentors and distilled it down to simplify the technical processes in providing World Class dentistry. He clarifies many of the mysteries of getting great, predictable results. Attending courses presented by Dr. Cranham will make a huge difference for you and your patients."

"John will teach you how to approach your patients with a comprehensive treatment plan, incorporating optimum esthetics, function, and biological considerations. He will also teach you the latest restorative materials and techniques for each clinical situation. Perhaps most importantly, John does not sit on an alter somewhere. He is a down-to-earth, laid back, very approachable, and a nice guy. He recognizes the realities of day to day dentistry that we all see. When I look back over my career to date I consider John Cranham to be one of my mentors and one of the most influential people to impact my dental career."

John Cranham represents the new breed of dentistry- he is able to do world class esthetic dentistry, consistent with all of the proven, time tested Dawson occlusal principles and yet do it with state-of-the-art electronic instrumentation. He is the first CR based occlusion sensei- able to blend both time tested techniques with fresh approaches to why any applied occlusal theories actually work! You can't be around John and not sense his sincerity, integrity and devotion to dentistry!"     
- Rick Coker DDS, Tyler Texas

"I would have to rate this a perfect 10. John is easy to understand and the Mid-Atlantic Center is a great setting for the group. I feel much more comfortable with the whole of esthetics, occlusion and comprehensive treatment planning. I immediately started looking at patients differently and plan to begin a far more thorough exam of the TMJ, muscles and occlusion.quot;     
- Dr. Jim Gaff, Jacksonville, Fla.

"John's courses are perfectly positioned for the practicing dentist. Sound in theory, and profound in it's application in YOUR office on Monday morning."

"The course that Dr. John Cranham gave on occlusion was the most practical and useful that I have ever taken. And I have been taking courses about occlusion for over 30 years."
- Dr. Deane Hundley III, Carthage, NC

"I just returned from the Occlusion Course taught by John Cranham. John bypassed controversy and just spoke in facts. He made the science and anatomy of the temperomandibular joint and its functional muscular friends understandable and not boring. The course was thorough, and it was also enjoyable. The photography and diagrams were clear, as were the explanations. The bottom line was that in three days, it made a significant dent in filling one of the biggest holes in my dental education."
- Marty Zase (accredited member of AACD)

"This was one of the best Occlusion courses I have ever taken. It was very easy to understand!"
- Stephen Turner DMD, Macon, GA

His dynamic presentations will show you how easy it is to implement complex dentistry into your practice."
