Introducing DAPPr

The Dental Associate PowerUp Program (DAPPr) is a comprehensive 4-month program designed to create significant associate production uplift and increase your practice or group’s EBITDA.

What makes it DAPPr?

Clinical precision meets real-world efficiency. DAPPr is designed to boost production, confidence, and clinical impact. The program is designed with three distinct phases: Rapid Efficient Treatment Planning, Posterior Restorative, and Anterior Restorative. Each phase builds upon the previous one, helping participants progressively build their knowledge and communication skills - paired with hands-on simulation training in the most common, production-driving procedures.

Begin Where It Benefits You Most

You don’t need to commit to the full DAPPr pathway right away, start with the area that supports your most urgent clinical needs. If you are not ready to commit to the full 4-month program, you can join RETP as a standalone 2-day course. 

 

Phase 1: RETP In-Person Session

The Rapid Efficient Treatment Planning (RETP) live sessions are a two-day, in-person intensive where dentists are guided through key principles of streamlined case planning alongside discussions on mindset, communication, and goal setting. By learning practical frameworks and observing how to approach a wide range of cases, dentists gain clarity and structure that they can carry into their daily practice, helping them plan more efficiently, communicate more effectively with patients, and approach treatment with greater confidence.

 

Location: Sydney, 21 - 22 November, 2025

📍 2-day in-person intensive

Kick off your journey with RETP, the foundation of DAPPr. Over two days, you will:
✅ Learn to plan 12+ complex cases in minutes
✅ Communicate treatment options clearly and confidently
✅ Master the psychology of case acceptance
✅ Reduce stress and indecision in everyday planning

 

RETP is also available as a standalone course, the perfect entry point if you’re not ready to commit to the full program.

Phase 2: Posterior Restorative

The Posterior Restorative module focuses on building the essential skills and confidence needed to deliver efficient, high-quality dentistry in the back of the mouth. Combining hands-on simulation with targeted lectures, the module strengthens core foundations while introducing advanced restorative concepts and techniques. Dentists are guided to improve their clinical precision, recognise areas for growth, and enhance patient comfort and communication. The overall aim is to create predictable, streamlined workflows that boost both productivity and confidence in posterior restorative care.

 

8 On-Demand Lectures

Lecture topics include:

  • Treatment Planning Posterior Dentistry
  • Mastering Posterior Indirect Restorations
  • Occlusion in Quadrant Dentistry
  • Preparation, Design Temporaries, Vertical Prep
  • How to Recognise Deficiencies in our knowledge

DAPPr 24/7 community, and accountability check-ins

Dentists will be guided and mentored through the whole process via the RipeGlobal 24/7 community space (for a period of 2 years). Dentists, educators and mentors from all aspects of dentistry and from all over the world are able to assist with case planning, clinical and non-clinical questions and even help set up your clinical camera and what materials work best for what clinical situations.

The learning is only limited by your ability to interact and ask questions. Dentists will attend monthly accountability check-ins during the course (over 4 months), giving them dedicated time to reflect, track progress, and take ownership of their own learning, which strengthens commitment, self-discipline, and long-term growth.

Real Stories, Real Results.

"I just wanted to start by saying how glad I am to have had the chance to attend the Rapid Efficient Treatment Planning course over the weekend—thank you so much for supporting me with this opportunity.

It was incredibly motivating, and I’ve already found myself approaching more complex treatment plans today that I might previously have hesitated with, which feels like real progress! I'm really grateful to Dr Lincoln and the RipeGlobal team for the inspiration, and I'm excited to keep building on this momentum."

I feel like this course has changed my life, I know it's early days, but yesterday and today I feel much less tired psychologically, as tx planning seems so much simpler, and I stopped stressing about making the "perfect decision", all that load off my shoulders! The perfectionism was burning me out.

I also find it so easy to recommend based on what I would like to have done in my own mouth, it feels so natural to say, if it was me—this is the best option. Up until now I thought I had a duty to defend the NHS and the type of dentistry it can provide, and not dare it make it look inferior. You've completely shifted my perception of what is "clinically necessary".

"From the first day, I've had a patient agree to pvt composite.

I did an emax only prep rather than crown (felt the fear and did it anyway), I took digital impressions (fumbled a bit but got better!). I used to pride myself in being "cautious"... but I want to learn faster now. I feel like I've got permission to get it wrong, as it will go wrong at some point regardless."

"Lincoln Harris, those two days have been life changing—thank you so much!!

After the course, I feel so much confidence in treatment planning and no longer feel guilty offering private options to all patients knowing that it too can be an ethical approach. I'm a lot more aware of the tone of my voice when delivering a treatment plan and how that may affect how the pt proceeds."

"Something interesting my pt said today, he's been in this city for 30 years, switched 13 different dentists, and all he's ever been offered was to be "patched up".

His eyes lit up when I recommended we look at a comprehensive tx plan to include replacement, restoring and straightening.

It makes me wonder how many of those 13 dentists were likely very capable of delivering good dentistry, but only offered what they thought the pt can afford / what the NHS can afford / their own financial limitations!"

Clinically Proven. Commercially Powerful.

"At Pacific Smiles Group, our partnership with RipeGlobal has been a game-changer in how we develop and support our clinicians. The impact has been clear both clinically and commercially, making a tangible difference in confidence, productivity, and overall engagement."
