August 29, 2024 160 - It’s Amazing What People Can Eat with Just Gums | Tooth Or Dare Podcast with Toothlife.Irene
Welcome to the 160th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Jason Luchtefeld (@jasonluchtefeld), along with bonus guest Dr. Alan Mead (@very_dental_podcast).

In Part 2 of this conversation with Dr. Luchtefeld, we learn about how he came to be President of the American Equilibration Society (AES), a leading organization of dental professionals that has been around since 1955. Perks of membership include access to scientific meetings, lecture video archives and other continuing education.

Watch until the end for a bonus impromptu conversation with Dr. Alan Mead, a fellow podcast host and longtime friend of Dr. Luchtefeld since the early days of Dentaltown’s online community. Find out what some denture patients eat WITHOUT their dentures, and how to tell if something should go on your feed VS stories…

Dr. Jason Luchtefeld, DMD
A 2000 graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, he was an active leader in the ASDA, AADS (now ADEA) and the AGD. Following dental school, he completed a General Practice Residency at the VA Hospital in Denver, CO. His technical training has encompassed learning from the Dawson Academy, the Misch Institute, R.L. Frazer & Associates and many other respected learning organizations.

In 2005 Dr. Luchtefeld obtained his Fellowship in the AGD (Academy of General Dentistry ) and the ICOI (International College of Oral Implantologists). In 2007 he joined the AES – Occlusion, TMD, Comprehensive Care (formerly American Equilibration Society) and quickly rose to leadership. He first served three years as AES Exhibit Committee Chair and a member of the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC). After a year on the SPC he Co-Chaired the most successful and transformative AES Strategic Planning Process in more than 55 years. During the Applied Strategic Planning process (led by Dr. Bob Frazer) a passion was ignited for the power of the process. This passion has continued in Jason overseeing implementation and ongoing monitoring of the AES ASP – allowing the ASP to become the central governing document for the society.

In 2019, Jason began expressing his passion and purpose for asking questions into the formal process of Applied Strategic Planning as a partner in Inspero – a strategic planning and coaching firm based in Austin, TX. His goal is to help dentists and their organizations question, create, and then inspire their best futures. Jason’s experience in this arena has rapidly grown to include co-facilitating several ASP’s for dentist’s and a corporation as well as leading the process for several dental organizations. He has also led the Organizational Health Process through multiple iterations.

In 2024, Jason joined forces with Dr. Kevin Kwiecien to form The CCO Solution to provide fractional chief clinical officer functions to growing DSO’s.

August 22, 2024 159 - Taking Over a Dental Practice and Other Things Not Taught in School | Tooth Or Dare Podcast with Toothlife.Irene
Welcome to the 159th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Jason Luchtefeld (@jasonluchtefeld).

If you think taking over a dental practice is easier than starting one from scratch, think again. Dr. Luchtefeld discovered early on in his career that when you buy an old practice, you inherit its problems. How do you fix an outdated, neglected dental office? Tune in to find out how Dr. Luchtefeld turned it around, and went on to practice in several different states before moving from the US to settle in Canada, transitioning out of clinical work into coaching dental professionals.

July 04, 2024 156 - Work-Life Balance as a Travelling Implant Surgeon with Dr. Steven Vorholt, Part 2 | Tooth Or Dare Podcast with Toothlife.Irene
Welcome to the 156th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Steven Vorholt (@vorholtdds), co-hosted by Dr. Craig Harder.

Starting a dental business from scratch obviously requires a lot of money, time and effort - and then you need patients to actually come to you. But what if you could bring dentistry to your patients instead? That’s exactly what Dr. Vorholt decided to do, while still coming home every night to his family. Tune in to hear how he maintains work and life responsibilities using his experiences running a private practice, and reflections on lessons learned from a failed business partnership.

Dr. Steven Vorholt:
Dr. Vorholt was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and later moved to Columbus, Ohio to attend college. He graduated with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University in 2013.

Shortly after graduation, Dr. Vorholt started a private practice in the Columbus area. Immersing himself in as much continuing education as possible, he eventually developed a great passion for dental implant surgery. In 2019 after 6 years of building a successful general practice in Ohio, he followed his passion and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona to take a full time position focusing solely on implant placement and restorations and also worked in dental education. He taught courses such as Basic Implantology, Sinus Grafting, Full Arch Overdentures, Implant Complications, 3D Printing Surgical Guides and more. Dr. Vorholt also helped over 1,000 dentists place over 12,000 implants in his time in live surgery education.

In 2021 Dr. Vorholt received his Diplomate in the American Board of Oral Implantology. In 2022 he became a Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and was asked to present at the AAID Annual Conference for two different workshops and lectures. He lectures nationally on all topics of dental implants and loves to partake in CE from other great educators whenever given the chance.

In late 2022 Dr. Vorholt decided it was time to re-enter private practice. He moved to Santa Barbara California with his family and opened Santa Barbara Dentures and Implants, an implant-focused practice serving the Central Coast of California.

June 27, 2024 155 - Life After Private Practice - Implant Surgeon, Lecturer, and Podcaster Dr. Steven Vorholt, Part 1 | Tooth Or Dare Podcast with Toothlife.Irene
Welcome to the 155th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Steven Vorholt (@vorholtdds), co-hosted by Dr. Craig Harder.

What do you do after your business partnership falls apart? According to Dr. Vorholt, continue to invest in yourself and come out stronger. Like many new dentists, he graduated with heavy student debt, but has never let that get in the way of starting a practice and living life the way he wants. Even when things ended with his partner, he switched gears into education, continuously learning and giving back to his peers, teaching other dentists about implant surgery. Tune in to hear about Dr. Vorholt’s full journey - and a bonus story about the time Irene thought she was being hit on by a random dude at the bar, with a slide deck containing human ears…

Dr. Steven Vorholt:
Dr. Vorholt was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and later moved to Columbus, Ohio to attend college. He graduated with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University in 2013.

Welcome to the 154th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Connie Wang (@drconniewang).

Do you find yourself awkwardly asking the same few questions to your patients at every visit? Making small talk can be as uncomfortable as, well, going to the dentist - but they don't have to be! Connie loves connecting with people through lighthearted stories and pop culture news. What’s going on with Dunkin’ Donuts? When will Snoop Dogg appear at the Olympics? Tune in to find out how you can make yourself more relatable to your patients, and put them at ease as a trusted dental care provider.

Dr. Connie Wang:
Dr. Wang received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. Prior to becoming a dentist, she received her Doctorate of Pharmacy from the University of Rhode Island in southern Rhode Island where she grew up. While at Tufts she was on the Dean’s list all four years, named an Incisal Edge Student to Watch, as well as featured in numerous publications for her side hustle as a dental influencer. Her podcast, Just A Quick Pinch is a lifestyle and self-help podcast for young women in healthcare and is one of the top 10% most followed podcasts in the world. Whether it is mentoring students or treating her patients, Dr. Wang’s mission is to empower every person that she meets to live their best and most authentic life.

Dr. Wang is engaged to her amazing best friend and fiance, Jim. Together they care for Ellie, their adorable rescued fur baby. In her free time, Dr. Wang enjoys what her fiance lovingly calls “nesting” – hunting for home decor finds in thrift stores, HomeGoods, and Amazon. She also loves cooking and her guilty pleasure is the Bravo channel. Feel free to discuss all things Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules with her!
