CDCA/ADEX Exam Courses

ADEX Exam Course Overview

The ADEX exam features five components specific to certain skills, which include four hands-on portions: restorative, periodontal diagnosis and treatment, endodontics, prosthodontics, and a written diagnostic skills examination. Our course covers only the hands-on components and is conducted on manikins via live demos, hands-on practice, mentoring, mock exams, and grading. Our graduates are highly successful and tell us they are far more confident when taking the exam. The courses are offered in modules to allow flexibility depending on your individual needs.

All I have to say is, “Wow!!!” I recently took a five-day course by Dr. Stevenson as a review of dental procedures in order to pass the ADEX exam. I have been a dentist for over twenty years, and can I just say, that I was blown away by the sheer TALENT, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, and desire to share his gifts with me, a mediocre dentist who tries her best. Dr. Stevenson is in an entirely different league than myself. I was very humbled by comparing our abilities. However, with CARE and PATIENCE, Dr. Stevenson helped me to IMPROVE my skills and encouraged me to STRIVE for excellence. Not only did I come away with refined skills, but I left with a DESIRE to improve and push myself toward excellence…not only in my skills, but in other aspects of my life. I came away not just a better dentist but a better person. God bless you, Dr. Stevenson, and your wonderful staff – Savi, Milly, and Dr. Morgan!!

I truly mean every word. I have terrific memories and remember them fondly. I feel like my time spent there is a gift from God.
