In this episode, we explore how general dentists can start to approach treatment planning with the mindset and precision of specialists.

The conversation also dives into the challenges specialists face with limited post-residency training and what’s on the horizon for postgraduate education in the multidisciplinary team environment.

In this episode, we dive deep into the critical importance of forward-thinking treatment planning in dental practice. Too often, reactive decision-making — addressing problems as they arise — can lead to rushed, emergency situations that disrupt both the dentist’s schedule and the patient’s long-term oral health. But how can we transition from this reactive mindset to one that anticipates issues and builds a comprehensive, proactive treatment plan?

We’ll explore strategies to minimize last-minute crises in your schedule while also empowering patients to take ownership of their dental health. You'll learn how to shift the conversation from "fixing" isolated dental issues to promoting full, comprehensive care that helps patients understand the importance of addressing underlying problems before they become emergencies.

In this episode, we’ll break down the differences between single-tooth dentistry — where issues are dealt with in isolation — and comprehensive diagnosis, which looks at the patient’s entire oral health landscape. Adopting a comprehensive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also helps you run a more efficient and sustainable practice. We’ll discuss the profound impact this shift can have, not just on patient care but on the overall success of your practice.

Join us as we share practical tips, real-life examples, and actionable advice for transforming your treatment planning process. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, enhance patient trust, or improve your bottom line, this episode will give you the tools you need to elevate your practice and become the proactive, forward-thinking clinician you aspire to be.

We have heard about digital dentistry for so long that the term has almost lost its meaning. Darin Dichter of Spear Education is here to tell us the place of current digital technology in a changing world. What does digital make us better at? What is the place of analog? Is efficiency the focus...quality...or can we have both?
