While the U.S. healthcare system continues to evolve with innovations in diagnostics and treatment protocols, one area of dentistry remains notably uneven—advanced prosthetic and implant care. For millions of Americans, especially those living in regions with limited specialist access, receiving timely treatment for tooth loss or full-mouth rehabilitation is often a question of geography rather than need. This disparity reflects a deeper challenge: the persistent underdevelopment of implantology within general dental education and the national shortage of clinicians equipped to deliver complex restorative care.
In this context, the forthcoming launch of Deivid Consulting LLC signals a shift in how continuing dental education might be approached. The Florida-based firm, founded by Brazilian implant specialist Dr. Deivid Simão, is preparing to offer structured consulting and mentorship aimed at equipping U.S. dentists with the skills to perform sophisticated procedures previously reserved for specialists. With a focus on expanding procedural confidence and practice autonomy, the company hopes to fill a critical training void that current academic pathways often leave unaddressed.
The need is substantial. According to recent data from the American Dental Association, over 68 million Americans live in Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas. These zones, which span both rural communities and underserved urban districts, suffer from extended wait times and limited options for patients seeking implant-based solutions. Compounding the issue is the demographic shift of an aging population; as rates of edentulism rise, the demand for fixed prosthetics and implant-supported dentures is outpacing the capacity of the current workforce to deliver them.
Dr. Simão has observed this dynamic firsthand through international collaborations and training engagements. With a career that began in Brazil’s densely populated public health systems and evolved into directing private practices and dental labs, he brings a dual perspective that merges clinical mastery with operational insight. “There’s a generation of dentists who are highly motivated but lack access to personalized guidance,” Dr. Simão says. “The typical CE course might teach a technique, but it rarely offers the mentorship needed to apply that technique effectively in the context of real patients and business constraints.”
Deivid Consulting’s model is designed to address that gap. Rather than operating like a traditional training institute, the firm plans to deliver high-impact consulting rooted in clinical planning, digital dentistry, and restorative strategy. Through remote and in-person engagements, practitioners will be coached on how to integrate modern technologies such as CAD/CAM systems and 3D imaging into everyday practice. The goal is not only to expand clinical offerings but to enable safer, more predictable outcomes that align with current standards in patient care.
One of the most pressing motivations behind the venture is the national labor shortage in dental specialties. Forecasts from the Health Resources and Services Administration indicate that the United States may fall short by over 15,000 full-time dentists in the coming years. This includes significant deficits in prosthodontics and oral surgery, fields essential to treating severe tooth loss and craniofacial trauma. By helping general dentists adopt advanced skills, Deivid Consulting aims to lessen the dependency on referral-based models, particularly in areas where specialists are scarce or inaccessible.
Yet the impact is intended to be broader than workforce development. By enhancing the quality and scope of care at the general practice level, the firm also seeks to contribute to public health goals—improving long-term outcomes for patients with chronic conditions exacerbated by poor oral health. Studies continue to show strong links between periodontal disease and systemic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. By fostering preventive, patient-centered planning, Deivid Consulting will help clinicians position themselves as active collaborators in whole-person healthcare.
This vision aligns with several federal initiatives, including those led by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, which have emphasized the need to integrate oral health into general health policy. In this respect, Deivid Consulting is not only a commercial venture but also a potential stakeholder in a larger healthcare shift—one that values cross-disciplinary knowledge and outcome-driven care.
For Dr. Simão, this convergence of dentistry, education, and equity represents the culmination of his professional journey. “We’re not just training dentists to do better implants,” he notes. “We’re helping them build systems that deliver lasting results for patients who may otherwise fall through the cracks.”
As the company prepares to begin operations, its timing appears well-matched to the industry’s needs. With technology advancing faster than clinical training can adapt, and patient expectations growing more sophisticated, there is a clear opening for a consultancy that balances innovation with accessibility. Deivid Consulting enters this space with a mission rooted not only in expertise, but in transformation—one practice, and one patient, at a time.
