Two days. Two accomplished experts. Whether you want to launch a thriving dental sleep practice, push your treatment outcomes to the highest level, or gain hands-on skill with today's leading appliances, Dr. Jerry Hu and Master Technician David Gergen bring decades of clinical expertise, published research, and real-world results to this focused, practice-changing event.
Dental sleep medicine is one of the most rewarding opportunities in dentistry today — but building a practice that genuinely thrives takes more than clinical skill. Dr. Hu shares the systems, strategies, and hard-won lessons that took him from general practice to becoming Alaska’s first board-certified dental sleep medicine diplomate.
Join David Gergen, Master Technician, for interactive Hands-On Training covering Epigenetic, Standard, and Pediatric oral appliances. Drawing on more than 40 years of experience, Dave will share practical insights into appliance selection, treatment applications, adjustments, and case finishing.
Exceptional outcomes are what build lasting reputations, and Day Two is all about results. Dr. Hu pulls back the curtain on the clinical protocols and treatment philosophy he has refined over years of practice to achieve dramatic reductions in patients’ Apnea-Hypopnea Index.
Your Instructors
Dr. Hu is dedicated to providing exceptional dentistry in Anchorage and Soldotna, Alaska. Over the years, he has earned extensive training through the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and the prestigious Las Vegas nstitute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI). He has earned numerous Fellowships and Masterships and has published extensively on his research in cosmetic dentistry and dental sleep apnea treatment.
In 2017, he became the first full-time dentist in Alaska to achieve board certification in Dental Sleep Medicine as a Diplomate of both the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and the American Sleep and Breathing Academy.
David Gergen, CDT and President of Pro Player Health Alliance, has been a nationally respected dental lab technician for over 30 years. He received the award for “The Finest Orthodontic Technician in the Country” given by Columbus Dental in 1986. He was also appointed Executive Director and CEO of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy Dental Division, a national interdisciplinary academy dedicated to sleep training and education with over 60,000 members.
One of his proudest achievements is receiving The National Leadership award for Arizona Small Businessman of the Year in 2015.
Throughout his remarkable career, Dave has had the opportunity to work alongside some of the most legendary names and influential pioneers in dentistry, including Dr. Robert Ricketts, Dr. Ronald Roth, Dr. A. Paul Serrano, Dr. Ed Spiegel, Dr. Harold Gelb, Dr. Joseph R. Cohen, Dr. Rodney Willey, Dr. Allan Bernstein, Dr. Harry Sugg, and Dr. Thien Pham, among others.
That depth of experience has given him a rare perspective on the evolution of dental appliances, treatment philosophies, and techniques over the past four decades.
Dave will take you through the history, purpose, and individual benefits of each appliance, sharing firsthand knowledge of how and why they are used and how appliance therapy has evolved throughout his career.
Most importantly, Dave is there to work with you. From evaluating treatment options and selecting the appropriate appliance to making adjustments and ultimately finishing your case, he will walk you through the process with detailed, practical instruction.
This is not simply a lecture. You will have the opportunity to work directly with the appliances and make adjustments yourself, learning techniques you can immediately take back to your practice.
This is an educational experience unlike any other—hands-on learning at the highest level, combining 40 years of knowledge, legendary mentorship, and real-world application from appliance selection through case completion.
Seating is limited. Reserve your place for both days of training with Dr. Jerry Hu.
