Dental Education Partners
Elevate Your Hygiene Department. Align Your Team. Deliver Results.
Dental Education Partners helps practices build a standardized, diagnosis-driven hygiene department — one that improves patient care and shows up on the production report. Founded by clinicians, built for teams who want consistency they can measure.
Visit Our WebsiteWho We Are
DEP was built by clinicians who spent years inside hygiene departments before building the systems to fix them. Mary Hughes, RDH and Stephanie Palmer lead a team that works directly with practice owners and hygiene teams on protocol, coding, treatment presentation, and the metrics that connect clinical care to practice growth.
We've helped teams take hygiene from an overlooked appointment to a documented, repeatable system — with results practices can point to, not just describe.
