At Blenderfordental (B4D), empowering the global digital dentistry community has always been at the heart of what we do. Today, we're proud to announce an exciting milestone: every single one of our B4D instructors has officially completed our newly upgraded accreditation program!
This isn't just a behind-the-scenes update. It's a major leap forward that strengthens the B4D learning experience for dental professionals around the world.
Why We Rebuilt the Blenderfordental Instructor Accreditation Program
Back in 2019, B4D started with a single module and a single badge. Fast forward to today: we now offer over 20 digital dentistry modules covering everything from crowns and bars to surgical guides, dentures, and splints. A one-size-fits-all badge simply couldn't represent the depth and skill of today's B4D instructors.
That's why we reinvented the Instructor Accreditation Program from scratch. It's built for today's specialists — and tomorrow's innovators — with clear specialty paths, higher quality standards, and a workflow that makes excellence visible.
Specialties You Can Trust in Digital Dentistry
Now, every B4D instructor is accredited only in the areas they truly master. Whether it's bar-supported prosthetics, smile design, splint planning, or surgical guides, you can trust that your instructor has proven expertise in that specific specialty. No guesswork. No shortcuts.
Our dental specialties include:
B4D iBar (Bar-supported implant prosthetics)
B4D Prosthodontic (Crown & bridge workflows)
B4D Smile Design (Aesthetics and patient motivation)
B4D Ortho (Splint and bracket planning)
B4D Surgical Guide (Implant guide design)
B4D Denture & Partial (Removable prosthetics)
Recognition Built for Real Career Growth
Instructors now earn:
Full Master Instructor — Accredited in all six specialties
Advanced Instructor — Accredited in multiple specialties
Certified Instructor — Accredited in at least one specialty
And when you see a gleaming gold tooth, that spotlights instructors who go
above and beyond to grow the community.
Exceptional contributors can also earn:
B4D Star for sustained excellence every two years
Global Reaccreditation: 89 Calls, 89 Stories Across the Dental World

When we launched the new framework, we didn’t just send emails — we hosted 89 Zoom calls across the globe. From Dubai to Reykjavík to the Gold Coast, we mapped each instructor’s specialties, listened to their goals, and shared real-time feedback.
These whirlwind chats reinforced why open-source digital dentistry is so powerful: it's a global movement with passion at every latitude and longitude.
A Rigorous Process for Instructor Accreditation
Every reaccredited B4D instructor completed:
Application review with standardized STL files
Demonstration videos featuring voice and face-cam verification
Double-blind peer reviews on workflow quality, clarity, and teaching effectiveness
Final live session to confirm specialty mastery
The result? A transparent, high-quality accreditation process that guarantees consistency, clarity, and proven instructor expertise — no guesswork, no gaps, no shortcuts.
What This Means for Our Digital Dentistry Students
Whether you're a dental technician, clinician, or CAD/CAM enthusiast, you can now train with complete confidence knowing:
Your B4D instructor has real, verified expertise in their specialty
Every course is backed by clear standards and transparent workflows
The B4D learning community is growing stronger, smarter, and more connected than ever
Looking Ahead: The Future of Open-Source Dentistry
This reaccreditation milestone isn't the end though — it's a launchpad. Our instructors now have direct access to:
Updated Instructor Resource Hubs
Special reserved discounts
Referral programs that reward community growth
At B4D, we believe the future of dentistry is collaborative, specialized, and open to anyone willing to learn and lead. Today's announcement is a big step in making that vision even stronger.
To every instructor who completed the journey with us: Thank you.
To every dental student and professional joining us now: Welcome to the next chapter.
And if you’re ready to take the next step and become part of the B4D instructor family,
we’d love to hear from you.
