The Pathway, supported by Affordable Care

Fostering a culture of clinical advancement

Growing up on a ranch in western Nebraska, his family home for six generations, Dr. Justin Moody developed an appreciation for the work it takes to grow something from the ground up – literally. After dental school, he embarked on a successful career as an implantologist, growing multiple dental practices. He earned Fellow and Diplomate status in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Honored Fellow, Fellow and Associate Fellow status in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and was one of the youngest Diplomates in the American Board of Oral Implantology for which he is the President-Elect.

He also found his passion for continuing education. In 2016, Dr. Moody founded Implant Pathway, known today as The Pathway, a continuing education company, now supported by Affordable Care, the nation’s largest dental support organization (DSO) exclusively focused on tooth replacement. Based in Gilbert, Arizona, The Pathway recently expanded to a new 30,000-square-foot facility.

“The curriculum and vision for The Pathway came from the amazing dentists from whom I learned during my many years in dentistry,” shares Dr. Moody. “Now, I’m proud to call those dentists faculty members and mentors of The Pathway.”

“We offer a wide variety of dental CE courses covering a broad range of topics including live surgical implant training, complications, advanced implant solutions, CEREC, oral and IV sedation, and advanced restorations,” explains Dr. Moody. “Dentists from all over the country visit us to advance their skills.”

He adds, “The faculty and mentors who become a part of The Pathway program are the very best dentists in our industry. Our focus and passion are on the dentists who have committed their time to learning and becoming the best version of themselves.”

One of the faculty trainers and mentors at The Pathway is Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, Chief Clinical Officer of the Advanced Dental Implant Center network, a rapidly growing supported dental network within Affordable Care, comprised of general dentists with extensive implant experience, oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists.

“It’s an honor to be part of The Pathway’s faculty,” explains Dr. Holtzclaw, one of the world’s leaders in full arch implantology. A periodontist who specializes in complex cases utilizing pterygoid and zygomatic implants, traditional dental implant treatments, bone regeneration, and the treatment of periodontal disease, Dr. Holtzclaw has authored multiple implant textbooks including Pterygoid Implants: The Art and Science and Remote Anchorage Solutions for Severe Maxillary Atrophy: Zygomatic, Pterygoid, Transnasal, Piriform Rim, Nasopalatine, and Trans-Sinus Dental Implants.

He adds, “Having access to a top-notch training facility is one of the many benefits to dentists who are part of the Advanced Dental Implant Center network. We are building an engaged doctor community through education and clinical advancement.”

He adds, “Serving as a faculty trainer and mentor at The Pathway allows me to give back to our industry and continue to advance our skills to benefit more patients.”

“Our courses serve dentists from private practice to small DSOs and large DSOs from across the U.S.,” shares Dr. Moody. “Our common goal is to join as a dental community, advance our skills, and help patients. Dr. Holtzclaw brings years of advanced experience with some of the most challenging implant patient cases. It’s not every day you can get access to a doctor of his caliber, and he’s so generous sharing his time and talent well beyond the training sessions.”
