Real Patients. Real Cases. Real Endo.
4 Days of In-Person Coaching, Practice, and Learning
Hosted by Sonia Chopra, DDS, Board-Certified Endodontist
Enroll in E-School LIVE to step up your endo game.
E-School LIVE is the fastest way to improve your endo skills since E-School online. Through this intimate, small-group learning opportunity, you’ll enhance your training and patient care in a meaningful way. You’ll fill remaining knowledge gaps. And you’ll rise to your true potential as a clinician.
You can expect to perform up to 4 root canals (depending on your speed and comfort level) over the course of the 4-day event.
You will not be watching me over my shoulder. YOU will be performing root canal therapy for real-life patients.
This is truly a first-of-a-kind, totally hands-on endo course in the U.S.A.
While most of the teeth will be molars, and most will be initial therapy treatments, there may also be some retreatment cases.
E-School LIVE is key for endo proficiency! Use Dr. Chopra’s equipment and tools, get live mentorship, and get your questions answered.
Over 4 days, perform up to 4 root canals (and the core buildup), try out files, ultrasonics, microscopes, and increase your CBCT confidence level.
Bring your dental assistant to learn from Dr. Chopra’s dental assistants! Your assistant is included in your registration fee, and their attendance is required.
E-School LIVE is a give-back program.
The root canals you perform will be for patients who are paying a significantly reduced price. When you do the RCT and the buildup, you’ll be sealing up the tooth and making sure the patient is able to leave the building with a functional tooth… at a price they may not have been able to afford otherwise. Your participation in this program helps a great cause! For each session, E-School LIVE donates approximately $50,000 in free dental care to the Greater Charlotte, North Carolina community.
You’ve completed E-School. And now you want more.
E-School LIVE is available to E-School with Coaching students. You must have been an active participant in E-School with Coaching (including attending coaching calls, with your camera on), and have completed at least Modules 1, 2, and 3 to be eligible for E-School LIVE. E-School with Coaching is an online program that is a prerequisite for E-School LIVE. Its benefits include gaining the tools to…
$ Yield Greater Profits
within your practice by reducing chair time, offering more services, and becoming more efficient.
✓ Feel More Confident
as you diagnose patients, perform root canals, use a CBCT, and so much more.
❤ Build Your Practice
with happy, loyal patients who trust you and remain loyal for years to come.
★ Receive 5-Star Reviews
from grateful patients you’ve saved from pain.
With E-School LIVE, you can take your endo skills to the next level.
No matter what kind of dentist you are, you know endodontics is the key to enhancing patient outcomes, increasing your revenue, and becoming a more confident dentist.
General Dentist With Your Own Practice
The Associate Who’s On the Rise
The Dentist Who Loves Learning
The Recent Dental School Graduate
Join Sonia Chopra, DDS in clinic for 4 days of hands-on training.
Real patients. Real cases. Real endo.
E-School LIVE is only for dentists who have enrolled and participated in E-School with Coaching. That means, if you started with E-School Independent, you must have upgraded to Coaching, completed Modules 1, 2, and 3 (at least!), and have been an active participant in coaching calls, with your camera on.
This is because we’ll be covering topics in-depth. To maximize the learning you get from this 4-day in-person experience, we all need to be starting with the same baseline. And I can only guarantee that if every participating dentist has gone through E-School with Coaching.
You’ll have the opportunity to get your questions answered in real-time in the operatory with real patients and real cases.
Your dental assistant will learn how to work more efficiently with you than ever. In fact, bringing an assistant is mandatory! (No, you can’t bring your mom… unless your mom is a dental assistant.) Ideally, you’ll bring a dental assistant you work with, so you two can return home with advanced knowledge and become a complete dream-team for your practice!
Plus, you’ll get to know other dedicated dental colleagues. It’s just like the lifelong professional relationships you made in dental school, but with less time required!
Participant Testimonials:
“It was phenomenal. This was a great experience. Having that live patient puts you in a position to take the case from start to finish, so that when you go back into your practice, you know what to do.”
-Dr. Shay Allen
“How many opportunities do you really have for your endodontist to come and just be over your shoulder? I would definitely recommend it to others. I think it’s an invaluable experience, and I’m really glad she created this program.”
-Dr. Mariann Ghaly
“A root canal I just finished came out looking beautiful, as good as an endodontist. It definitely steps your game up and makes you a lot better clinician, too. It’s, by far, one of the best CEs, doing it hands-on.”
-Dr. Adam Moore

You must bring extracted teeth with you.
We will be practicing on them on the first day.
You must bring loupes (magnification 5.0 or higher) with you.
This is absolutely crucial for endo!
You must bring your dental assistant with you.
No, you can’t bring your mom… unless your mom is a dental assistant. Ideally, you’ll bring a dental assistant you work with, so you can return home with advanced knowledge and become a complete dream team! The assistant you bring to E-School LIVE must be able to suction and take an x-ray. You will be treating live patients, and we cannot allow untrained assistants to train anyone.
If you cannot bring an assistant, you must tell Dr. Chopra right away, and you will need to pay a $1,000 organization fee, which covers the cost of recruitment and the assistant’s time. Dr. Chopra reserves the right to revoke your registration if you do not bring an assistant, and there are NO refunds for the fee, or for your enrollment.
You must have your own malpractice insurance to attend.
You must provide Dr. Chopra with proof of valid malpractice insurance immediately after you register. Please make sure you have arranged for malpractice insurance coverage to cover you as an individual practicing for this exposure in the United States BEFORE you register, as we cannot provide a refund if you can’t arrange it after the fact. This is particularly important for Canadian and international attendees. You must inform your malpractice insurance about this exposure BEFORE you apply. Dental residency insurance is insufficient to qualify, as it typically only covers treatments offered through your program or hospital.
You must be licensed to practice as a dentist.
You’ll be practicing, not observing, so this is absolutely crucial!
Do I really need to bring a dental assistant?
Yes, you MUST bring a dental assistant to the event. I can’t stress enough that this is mandatory. Here’s why.
- It will allow you to get the best possible experience at the event.
- You’ll be able to complete 4 root canals on live patients during the event, giving you tons of practice with mentorship from me.
- Your assistant will learn a ton from my assistants!
What kind of topics will we learn about?
We’ll be covering in-depth endodontic topics, but what we cover is largely up to you, your questions, and the situations that arise during the live cases.
We will debrief each day regarding what takeaways we can learn from the patient cases we have seen in-clinic. Tooth stories are everywhere, and you’re going to hear a lot of them over the course of these 4 days!
Is there a prerequisite to E-School LIVE? What if I’ve only taken E-School Independent? Or I’m still completing E-School with Coaching?
Yes. E-School LIVE is only available to E-School with Coaching students. This is an online endo CE course, which includes 6 modules, 2 bonus modules, 40 video lessons, handouts, templates, and further reading. It also includes 8 live coaching sessions with Dr. Chopra.
You must have enrolled in E-School with Coaching, completed at least Modules 1-3, and be an active participant in the coaching calls with your camera on in order to be eligible for E-School LIVE.
If you have taken (or are enrolled in) E-School Independent, you must upgrade to E-School with Coaching and complete the criteria above to be eligible for E-School LIVE.
E-School LIVE is truly a next-level, hands-on experience. It’s important we all have the same baseline of knowledge so we can dive into more complex topics together. If you’ve never enrolled in E-School with Coaching, this is a prerequisite, so please enroll here.
E-School with Coaching is only open certain times of the year, so if enrollment is currently closed, you may begin with E-School Independent (available any time) and upgrade to Coaching when it becomes available.
I highly suggest you join the waitlist for E-School LIVE in order to get up-to-date enrollment information.
Can I attend remotely?
No, unfortunately this is an in-person-only event. This is because each participant will have the chance to perform 4 root canals and practice other endodontic skills with live patients.
Do I get CE credit for this course?
Yes, at the end of the event once you have completed your patient post-op calls, you will be awarded a certificate for 30 CE credits.

Is a payment plan available?
E-School LIVE does not include a payment plan option at this time.
Is my purchase refundable?
Because there are so few seats available, and this is an in-person event, we can’t make the purchase refundable. However, if you cannot attend, and you have a colleague who has completed the prerequisite of E-School with Coaching, and would like to attend in your stead, you may transfer your seat to them.
What if I have another question not listed here?
