What facialart dental forum does

Facialart Dental Forum is a privately held, founder-operated continuing education platform serving practicing dentists and dental specialists seeking advanced training in implant dentistry, oral surgery, bone grafting, digital dentistry, and practice management. Founded around 2010 by Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in Bethesda, MD, the company delivers education through multiple formats: self-paced online courses, live narrowcasts, a podcast series ('Unplugged'), community peer groups (Peak Fellowship), and onsite programs hosted at its 34-seat training facility ('The Forum') at 4825 Bethesda Avenue, Bethesda, MD. The technical stack is a WordPress/WooCommerce-powered learning management system with video-based courses, live streaming, and interactive content delivery; AGD PACE accreditation allows it to issue continuing education (CE) credits to licensees.

The business model combines transactional course fees ($20–$9,900 per offering), an annual subscription for the DC Forum MasterClinics series ($650 for 5 in-person meetings plus live stream), and free basic membership with paid upgrades. Programs include the MasterMind Series (surgeon-restorative dentist collaborative continuum using the Hexad method), Master Classes (one-day programs such as Digital Dentistry and Digital Surgical Planning), the modular 'I Wanna Do That' online series launched in September 2023, and immersive programs such as Full Arch Immersion ($2,500–$9,900). Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via facialartdentalforum.com, complemented by a venue-hosting channel in which DentalXP and Dawson Academy run programs at The Forum. Revenue, headcount, and funding data are not publicly disclosed; the company appears to be entirely founder-financed with no venture capital, private equity, or parent-company affiliation.
