Achieving Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry is one of the few added distinctions a general dentist can achieve. The AGD is the only professional association exclusively serving the interests and needs of the general dentist and their patients.

To earn Mastership, a dentist must complete more than 1,100 hours of approved educational courses, pass a rigorous exam, and demonstrate proficiency in all phases of general dentistry. In addition, he must commit to life-long learning in dentistry. The award is presented in a formal ceremony. Steven D. Wegner DDS MAGD is one of less than 1% of all general dentists who have achieved this honor.

Congratulations once again to Dr. Wegner and his team for winning the Best of Omaha award as Omaha's Best Cosmetic Dentist for the 6th straight year. Dr. Wegner has finished in first place in six of the past seven years in the dental category.

Dr. Wegner Earns Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry
(Press release from the Academy of General Dentistry)

Dr. Steve Wegner received his Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry this summer at a convocation ceremony in Washington, D.C. Mastership is the highest honor achievable in the Academy and one of the most respected and recognizable designations in the dental profession. Masters have profoundly demonstrated the professional obligation to maintain and advance their technical skills and knowledge.

To achieve Mastership, a dentist must complete a minimum of 1,100 hours of approved continuing education, pass a written exam, and display clinical competence in all the disciplines of general dentistry. At least 400 of those hours must be accrued in participation courses; actual "hands-on" training that involves application of a technique or skill under close supervision by a highly qualified expert. In other words, they have to be trained by the best to be the best. Dr. Wegner is one of only 3 Masters in private practice in Nebraska.
