Today we have Shay with us again for another episode, and we chat about milling experiences and opportunities that you can take advantage of for your dental practice. Tony, Darren, and Donny also join us to talk about his experience with different types of dental mills.
Sully’s practice currently has three mills a wet, a wet/dry, and a prime mill. He is presently milling Zirconia in less than five minutes with his prime mill. Because he can create milled items quickly, Sully can do his patient procedures all in-house in the same visit. In addition, he can touch test the block before restoration, which is beneficial for a good fit.
Tony started with the older E4D mill in 2009 and made an effort to learn how to use the mill effectively. He is using a scanner to create Invisalign products using itero. In addition to itero, they also use trios for same-day products.
Dr. Don Murry is a 2010 graduate who is making waves in dentistry.
He talks about his milling journey, starting with a cone beam in 2012. He is currently puck milling at his office to create full-arch products with Zirconia.
Learn what new milling processes are available, how easy or hard they are to use, and how you can get your hands on a digital mill to create same-day dental appliances.
Dentistry is changing. Technology, education, and resources are closer to our fingertips now more than ever! Are you ready to learn what millennial dentists are doing to exceed patient expectations, enjoy dentistry more and take vacations and how this generation can join up with the previous generation to make for an unstoppable dental team? Wait no longer! Listen in and find out how to push your lifestyle to the next level.

Today we have Shea Tolbert and Tony Mennito with us to chat about how dental ecosystems work, how 3D printing has advanced dentistry, and what students are currently learning in dental school. We also talk about digital design and when is a good time to hire a digital designer into your practice.
Ecosystems and branching out to find a mentor are critical to your success as a dentist. The progression of digital dentistry is happening faster than manufacturers can keep up with the demand.
We’ve been pushing the limits of these ecosystems. Our practice just purchased a machine to do a same-day crown for clients. We can do a variety of procedures much more quickly than we used to be able to in dentistry. Digital design has created a faster, more efficient dental system.
Social media has been a big topic lately, and we talk about how we are marketing on social media. We can post pre and post images of work in the office, before and after images, and post reviews from our clients.
Learn what new dental technology we are playing around with right now, learn about other dentist ecosystems, and predict new technology that we are thinking will come about in the next few years.

Today we have Holly, who grew up in dentistry and the airline industry inside the state of Tennessee. As a ramp rat for almost five years, she has flown all over the country. When she was 18, she moved to Charlotte to instruct and teach other US Air employees. She was working too many hours and having a job with more stability, she decided to get into working for a local dental practice.
Holly decided to go to school to become a dental assistant. After graduating, the practice she worked for broke up on bad terms and stayed with one of the partners. She started to learn the ins and outs of dentistry from the business side at her new practice.
Holly learned under dentistry’s “big five” and practice cosmetic dentistry. Her boss, Ross, put her through more dental training, and she ended up being a dental speaker. Traveling around the country, speaking, and training other dentists, opened her eyes to the potential and opportunities.
After bringing her last company to $5 million, she started to get the itch to build her own practice. She worked 100 hour work weeks, along with her brother, who had a degree in marketing, to develop her own business training doctors and dentists.
With so many people afraid to fail, Holly decided to learn to fail and pick herself up and learn from her mistakes. A multitude of dentists isn’t OK with coaching; as Holly says, “When they hear about coaching, they think they are in trouble.” Her clientele is someone who is going to bet on themself to win. She puts herself in a space where she gets her clients' ideas and takes them into her work.

Are you ready to learn what millennial dentists are doing to exceed patient expectations, enjoy dentistry more and take vacations and how this generation can join up with the previous generation to make for an unstoppable dental team?
