PROGRAM TOPICS
Many of our patients desire the creation of a beautiful smile. As dentists it is our responsibility to make beautiful teeth a part of a comprehensive plan that will create a completely healthy mouth. This involves the diagnosis and elimination of any functional or biologic disease process that could cause breakdown of any part of the stomatognathic system.
While there are many aspects to this, one key is understanding how the entire system works, especially how the anterior teeth fit into their functional matrix. Changing the size and shape of the anterior teeth has major functional consequences that relate directly to their long term success. Violating key biologic and functional principles will lead to eventual failure.
Dr. DuPont will share with you the concepts and principles that he has learned since the time he joined Dr. Peter E. Dawson in 1979. These principles have stood the test of time and are the keys to what he does day in and day out in his practice to help each patient achieve beautiful smiles that last by using a logical approach that can be applied to every patient and simplifies even the most difficult problems. This systematic thought process will then be applied to a range of cases as time permits.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Faculty
Glenn E. DuPont, DDS
After graduating from Emory University School of Dentistry in 1979, he joined the practice of Doctor Peter Dawson and Doctor Pete Roach in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and they practiced together until the retirements of Doctor Dawson and Doctor Roach. During all this time he has been learning, doing, and teaching restorative dentistry while enjoying his four children, Erin, Kristen, Catherine and Lauren, and now his eight grandchildren. He is a past president of the Pinellas County Dental Association, the Florida Academy of Dental Practice Administration, and the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry.
He taught at the L.D. Pankey Institute for many years, and is currently a Lead Faculty at the Dawson Academy. Besides teaching large and small hands-on courses at the Dawson Academy, he has lectured nationally and internationally. Doctor DuPont is also involved with a large number of professional organizations and study groups. He is past-President of The American Academy of Restorative dentistry, the Florida Academy of Dental Practice Administration and the Lower Pinellas County Dental Association and is current President of the Florida Prosthodontic Study Group. He also stays very involved with community and church activities.
In a quote from Dr. Peter E. Dawson, he said, "I have called upon a number of special clinicians to provide the most current clinical updates for this text. Doctor Glenn DuPont, senior partner in my former practice, has been a tremendous resource and contributor. As Director of Faculty at the Dawson Center, he has developed an exceptional "hands-on" curriculum for teaching some of the most important concepts and techniques.
He is a meticulous restorative dentist who excels in functional esthetics, so his contributions are much appreciated."

Ports of Call
Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii


For a change of pace and perspective, consider the rewarding hike up Diamond Head (Lēʻahi). The panoramic views of the coastline and the turquoise ocean from the summit are an unforgettable reward for your efforts. Of course, no visit is complete without experiencing fabled Waikiki Beach. Beyond the sunbathers, you can try a beginner's surf lesson on its gentle waves or simply stroll along the shore as pink sunsets begin to cast their magical glow. For a deeper dive into Hawaiian heritage, explore the meticulously restored Iolani Palace, the only official royal residence in the United States, which offers a unique glimpse into the island's sovereign past. Between these iconic sites, immerse yourself in the local culture by savoring a fresh poke bowl or a classic plate lunch from a neighborhood eatery. In Honolulu, the air, blanketed in the heady fragrance of gardenias and jasmine, invites you to relax, reflect, and recharge.
Kahului (Maui)

For a truly immersive, full-day commitment, two iconic journeys beckon. The Road to Hana is a winding, 64-mile drive through a lush rainforest, past cascading waterfalls and dramatic coastal cliffs—an experience more about the journey than the destination. Alternatively, ascend to the summit of Haleakalā, the "House of the Sun." This dormant volcano offers an otherworldly, cloud-level perspective of a vast crater, a stark and beautiful landscape unlike any other. Due to their length and complexity, pre-arranged tours are the most efficient way to experience these wonders from a cruise ship.

For a less demanding but equally rewarding day, explore the Iao Valley State Monument, a sacred and verdant valley featuring the iconic Kīpuka Puaulu (Iao Needle). Nearby, the bohemian surf town of Paia offers unique shops and a relaxed vibe, while further upcountry, Makawao provides a glimpse into Maui's paniolo (cowboy) heritage with its charming boutiques and galleries. The North Shore's Ho'okipa Beach is a fantastic spot to watch world-class windsurfers and spot green sea turtles resting on the sand.
Please be mindful that West Maui, including the historic town of Lahaina, is in a long-term recovery phase following the 2023 wildfires. Visitors are encouraged to explore the many other beautiful and welcoming areas of the island.
Hilo (Island of Hawaii)

Kona, Hawaii Island
The region is, of course, synonymous with coffee. A short drive or tour into the hills of Holualoa reveals the Kona Coffee Belt, where numerous small, family-run farms welcome visitors. Here, you can walk through the coffee groves, learn about the bean-to-cup process, and sample some of the world's most prized coffee at its source. This is an authentic agricultural and culinary experience.
For a deep dive into Hawaiian culture, nothing compares to Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, about a 45-minute drive south. This beautifully restored royal compound and sacred place of refuge offers a powerful, tangible connection to the island’s past. It is a quiet, spiritual place that rewards thoughtful exploration.
Water activities are centered around Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine life conservation district with exceptional snorkeling and diving. The bay is also the historic site where Captain James Cook was killed. Accessing the best snorkeling spots typically requires a boat tour, which is well worth the effort for the clarity of the water and abundance of marine life. Kona provides a compelling blend of significant history, world-class agriculture, and natural beauty, best accessed with a pre-arranged tour or rental car.
Nawiliwili, Kauai, Hawaii

Two experiences define Kauai's epic scale. The first is Waimea Canyon, a massive, 14-mile-long chasm often called the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific.' Its deep, crimson-rock gorges striated with lush green foliage create a spectacle of color and depth that is truly breathtaking from its numerous roadside lookouts. The second is the legendary Na Pali Coast, a sacred and inaccessible stretch of coastline where sheer, emerald-green cliffs, fluted by time and waterfalls, drop thousands of feet to the ocean. As it is unreachable by car, the only ways to witness its majesty are via a dramatic helicopter flight or a rugged boat tour along its base.

For those seeking more accessible beauty, the Wailua River Valley offers gentle kayaking excursions to the Fern Grotto and easy access to the impressive Wailua and Opaekaa Falls. On the island's sunnier south side, Poipu Beach provides a classic Hawaiian beach day, with golden sands, calm waters for snorkeling, and frequent sightings of resting green sea turtles.
A pre-booked rental car or a well-chosen tour is essential. The island’s wonders are spread out, and planning ahead is the key to experiencing the profound beauty of Kauai.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?
Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.
TRIP CANCELLATION
Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:
- A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
- Your parent or child requires hospitalization
- You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
- You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
- A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more
TRIP INTERRUPTION
Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:
- You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
- A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
- A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable
TRAVEL DELAY
If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE
Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:
- You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
- You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
- You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*
*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
