Join us at ACT Dental U for another amazing Friday Master Class with Dr. Brian Schroder, "Confessions of a Former Single Tooth Dentist."
You don't want to miss this!
This presentation is intended to inspire and encourage all dentists to fully incorporate the available resources acquired through their continuing education efforts into the treatment that they provide their patients. Dentistry is a difficult discipline. Excellence is not easily attained and change is something that we tend to avoid. Through documentation of long term patients, Dr. Schroder will candidly present his results as a solo, “I can do it all myself” practice style and the changes that came about in working with an “interdisciplinary team” approach. Should you choose to adopt them, these changes will benefit patients, general practitioners, specialist partners, and office team members.
After this presentation, you will understand:
- General Dentistry is the single most difficult position to play in our profession.
- Despite our ongoing continuing education efforts, we as general dentists cannot “do it all”.
- How we, the general dentists, are the quarterback of the dental team.
- How the business model of dentistry creates obstacles to interdisciplinary relationships so important to success.
- Leadership is the key to maximizing our potential as practitioners as well as business persons.

Dr. Brian Schroder
A Texas native, Dr. Schroder traveled the United States with his Air Force family before settling in San Antonio. He graduated from Central Catholic High School and received his undergraduate degree from St. Mary’s University where he played collegiate basketball. He continued his education at the University of Texas (UT) Health San Antonio School of Dentistry, graduating in 1982.
After obtaining his DDS degree, Dr. Schroder completed a general practice residency at the Audie Murphy Veterans Administration Hospital and received advanced training in anesthesia, endodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, and prosthodontics. For 12 years he served as an assistant professor in the Postdoctoral General Practice Program at the UT School of Dentistry in San Antonio while developing his private practice, which has been serving the San Antonio community for over 35 years.
Dr. Schroder provides comprehensive care, including restorative and cosmetic dentistry, conscious sedation, aesthetics, dental implants, and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
