Today he maintains a private family dental practice that provides extraordinary care with an emphasis on aesthetic and complex restorative needs. He has served as a Course Director and as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Oklahoma University College of Dentistry and he is an Associate Faculty at the L.D. Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida. As a matter of fact, Dr. Fling is part of a select handful that has completed the process to earn the distinction as a “Pankey Scholar.” He has been named by Dentistry Today as one of the “Top Clinicians in Continuing Education” every year since 2005. As President of Fling Seminars, he delivers stimulating advanced education and motivation to teams around the world. He also serves as a consultant and coach for ACT Dental.
