What does Sprig University Workshop participation cost?

Hands-on pediatric zirconia crown training—registration fees and total cost of attendance

Sprig University is a continuing education workshop taught by practicing pediatric dentists with small class sizes at premium destinations around the world , focused on learning how to confidently place pediatric zirconia crowns . Exact registration pricing is not published publicly—attendees must contact Sprig directly to receive a quote. However, the structure of workshop costs and cost drivers are transparent enough that practice owners can model total attendance budgets.

Sprig University is a continuing education program that teaches proprietary prep and seating techniques to help reduce chair time, alleviate clinical frustrations and grow dental practices . Over 1,000 Sprig University graduates now confidently offer EZCrowns in their practice, with 48 workshops completed .

What the typical commitment looks like

Sprig University is a single-day, in-person workshop format. Workshop dates run 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (as exemplified by the December 4, 2026 Naples session) . To request a registration price, contact +1 (916) 677-1447 or education@sprigusa.com .

Workshop costs include instruction but not lodging or travel. The hotel is considered an independent expense . Recent workshops have been held at upscale properties— the Naples workshop is at Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Beach Resort , suggesting premium-venue pricing typical of destination-based CE events.

What pushes registration price up

Small class size and personalized instruction. Small class sizes ensure quality, personalized instruction , which constrains capacity and supports higher per-participant cost models. Workshops are structured with small participant-to-doctor ratios and one-on-one personalized experience .

Instructor roster. All instructors are practicing pediatric dentists who use EZCrowns in their practice . Multiple clinical faculty increase delivery cost.

Hands-on operative training. Attendees pick up a handpiece and get instant feedback as they walk through each preparation process with the help of instructors . Operatory setup and prep models increase direct costs.

Multi-day agenda. Curriculum includes didactic content and hands-on workshop components, covering complete anterior, posterior and back-to-back preparations .

Destination venue. Sprig hosts workshops at resort properties. While this increases attendee convenience, it also locks in higher facility costs that are reflected in registration fees.

What pushes price down (or alternative options)

Private on-site training. Private trainings are a great option for large organizations and multi-location practices . A group of 6–10 dentists bringing Sprig instructors to your location can negotiate volume pricing.

Residency programs. Pediatric zirconia crowns can be added to residency programs , offering new graduates training embedded in their educational pathway—lowering per-practitioner cost.

Video-based modules. Sprig offers upcoming workshops, but also maintains clinical video training resources for supplemental learning. While not a substitute for hands-on training, these reduce reliance on in-person attendance for foundational knowledge.

Hidden costs

Lodging and meals. Hotel expense is independent of workshop registration . Destination-based events can add $200–600+ per night depending on venue and city.

Travel. Flights and ground transportation vary by geography. Sprig typically hosts workshops in major metro areas (prior events in Philadelphia, Naples, etc.).

Cancellation penalties. Sprig requires written cancellation at least 45 days before the workshop for a full refund; cancellations after this period are non-refundable . Plan registrations with a two-month lead time to preserve cancellation rights.

Opportunity cost. A full business day away from practice for one or more clinicians.

Product purchases. While the workshop teaches proprietary zirconia crown techniques, it does not require attendees to purchase supplies on-site. However, practices typically invest in Sprig's product system after training to maintain consistency and support clinical outcomes.

How to negotiate or reduce per-person cost

1. Organize a group. Contact Sprig's education team with a roster of 5+ practitioners from your region. Private training or group discounts may apply.

2. Combine with conference attendance. Sprig has co-hosted workshops with regional dental associations (e.g., Texas Academy of Pediatric Dentistry). Bundled registration may reduce total cost.

3. Clarify what's included. Request a detailed quote that itemizes registration versus optional add-ons (lunch, materials, digital course resources, CE transcripts).

4. Ask about payment plans. Larger groups or multi-practice organizations may qualify for deferred payment options.

5. Check CE credit eligibility. CE credits are provided upon completion of the webinar and survey . Confirm hours awarded and your state's reporting requirements to maximize ROI on attendance.

When the price feels off—red flags

• No itemized cost breakdown. Legitimate CE providers clearly state what registration includes (materials, meals, access to recordings, etc.). Insist on a written estimate.
• High pressure to pay upfront without cancellation terms. Reputable workshops honor the 45-day cancellation window Sprig publicly advertises.
• Unmarked or unclear facility costs. Confirm whether hotel is booked directly (your choice) or pre-arranged by Sprig at a marked-up group rate.
• No CE credit guarantee. Before registering, verify the course is approved by your state licensing board and check that credits apply to your renewal requirements.
