You're in the right place

This Isn’t Just Another Prep Course, It’s Your Edge

We know there is no shortage of live bench test courses you could choose from. With us though, you’re not just getting a course – you’re stepping into a complete, high-touch system.
Our small class sizes mean your questions get answered, your work gets reviewed, and your growth doesn’t get lost in the crowd.

Here's what Makes us Different

01

Consulting Session & Custom Curriculum

Meet with me (Dr. Alyssa) for a consulting session before the live course starts. I want to get to know you, your background, and what you want/need to learn during our time together. Based on this we can create a custom curriculum so the time we spend together is laser-focused on accelerating your readiness.

02

Bench Test Mastery Online

Start learning and improving immediately, no need to wait until we meet face-to-face. Before you even step into the live course, you’ll have access to a complete online curriculum in Bench Test Mastery. Pre-recorded lessons guide you step-by-step, and when you upload photos of your work, you get personalized video feedback directly from me. In those feedback videos, I don’t just focus on what went wrong, that part is easy to assess. The challenge is understanding why it happened so you know what to do differently going forward.

03

Interview Mastery

Most candidates overlook interview prep, but it matters. You’ll get the online Interview Mastery course so you can prepare yourself for the mock interviews ahead of time.

04

Live Application Review + Two Mock Interviews with Kevin

Kevin’s insight from his experience interviewing in Universities can be the difference between an offer and a “maybe.”

Hear from our Clients

I am Oral Surgeon for almost 18 years. and resumed General Dentistry months ago. I needed someone to guide me through my preps. I was so lucky to find [Dr. Alyssa] and the way she explains all the preps that we do.

I would like to share my gratitude to Dr. Alyssa. I was ready to do my applications and I was concerned about my hand skills for bench tests. I am Oral Surgeon for almost 18 years. and resumed General Dentistry months ago. I needed someone to guide me through my preps. I was so lucky to find her and the way she explains all the preps that we do. Taking time to record a video and assessing all the angles of the prep. I needed few months to feel confident and I went to an interview where hadn't bench tested before the new program director decided to do a bench test and told us the day before. And I was so confident that I ace the bench test and accepted into the program, and that I should share this with Dr. Alyssa also. Thank you so much for everything, for your guidance, patience. I remember my first prep that I submitted. OMG. It was a tragedy. LOL. Her tips were amazing.

Come away with confidence

What we’re offering is more than just a bench test prep course, it’s clarity, confidence, and strategy you can act on immediately.

Being guided by someone who’s been both in your shoes and on the other side of the table is an undeniable edge.

Time for a change

This isn’t about blindly doing more.

It’s about meeting you where you are with your skills, and working together in a targeted way to get you bench test and interview ready.

And imagine this: walking into that test with clarity and confidence. Feeling the relief of knowing every prep, every restoration, every decision has been sharpened for the outcome that matters most. The doubt fades. The fear recedes. All that’s left is readiness—and the excitement of finally stepping into the career you’ve been working toward.

Imagine the Possibility

What if I Told You There Was a Better Way?

You’ve worked tirelessly to get this far, and now you have an interview in hand. You’re staring at the bench test practice setup, feeling the weight of every hour of practice, wondering: Will it be enough?

This is for you if:

You Don't Want to Face Another Year of Rejections

You’ve tried before and faced rejection, and you’re determined not to waste another year.

You Haven't Picked Up a Handpice in Years

You’ve never done a crown prep—or it’s been a while—and you want to know exactly how to make your work pass the bench test.

You Want an Edge Over Your Competition

You feel the pressure of every small mistake being magnified in a highly competitive process, and want to gain an edge.

You're Not Progressing with Your Preps

You’re practicing on your own and are frustrated with your results as you repeat the same mistakes again and again while producing an occasional prep that’s better. You want to predictably produce high quality pass-worthy preps.

You want guidance that actually works

From someone who cares and has been in your shoes (Dr. Alyssa) and on the other side of the table (Kevin) who can show you the steps, the strategies, and the subtleties that programs notice.

You're not alone

The Pressure, the Mistakes, the Doubt

You sit for the bench test, instruments in hand, heart hammering like it’s trying to escape your chest. A crown prep in front of you, and your mind is spinning: Did I ruin the occlusal anatomy? How can I fix this, or do I just leave it alone? And I nicked the adjacent tooth! You wince, heart sinking. Margins aren’t smooth. Taper isn’t right. Time is bleeding away, and with it, your confidence. Why can’t I get this right?

It’s more than just the technical mistakes—it’s the history behind them. The time it took for you to study for the INBDE, assisting and volunteering, applications you poured money and months into. The rejections that came with no feedback, leaving you wondering if you’ll ever be good enough. The cost just to participate in the interview was high. Every exam, every CAAPID step, every material purchase—all steep costs, tangible and invisible.

You know what programs are looking for: precision, confidence, control. But right now, you’re scrambling to hit an invisible standard. You feel exposed, like everyone’s watching, judging, silently asking if you belong here.
I’ve been there, that’s how I felt during my first bench test which I failed miserably.
It’s exhausting, frustrating, and lonely. You’re ready to step out of the assistant’s chair and into your own operatory—but first, you need a way to transform panic into precision, mistakes into mastery, and anxiety into the quiet confidence that programs can’t help but notice.

What our customer say

I found IDC super helpful with feedbacks for preps as well as the interview. The feedbacks are very on point and Dr Alyssa is very patient. With practice and repeated feedbacks I learnt/ relearnt to be very very wary of critical errors in my preps. . . I was accepted at three dental schools this cycle. I highly recommend IDC.

The Clock is Ticking.

If you already have an interview scheduled, this is the moment that decides whether all your effort leads to an offer—or another year of waiting.

Seats are Limited.

Enrollment closes as soon as seats are full

The Risk of Waiting:

Showing up underprepared for the bench test and interview will lead to a missed opportunity and potentially another cycle of working on CAAPID (instead of being in a program)

This is NOT for you if:

Meet your coach

Hi, I'm Dr. Alyssa

I didn’t start out with “good hands.” In fact, my preps used to be rough, uneven, and frustrating. I know the sinking feeling of watching the margins crumble or nicking the adjacent tooth, not lightly, but really nicking it, and the panic that sets in when the clock is running. And I turned it around.

I went from shaky, uncertain work to consistent, reliable results — not because it came naturally, but because I figured out how better my hand skills.

That journey is why I teach differently. I understand exactly where candidates get stuck, and I’ve developed clear, practical methods to get you unstuck.

Over the years, I’ve:

Helped hundreds of internationally trained dentists improve their preps and earn spots in U.S. dental programs.
Created a proven process that helps candidates steady their hands, sharpen their skills, and build confidence under time pressure.
Earned a reputation for providing feedback that doesn’t just say what’s right or wrong — it shows you why a mistake happened and how to avoid the mistake entirely next time.

Seen students who once thought they “weren’t good with their hands” go on to deliver bench test performances that lead to acceptances.
