In this episode of Millennial Dentist Podcast, I talk about the innovation of Full Arch Dentistry. The dental industry benefited financially and in terms of time efficiency from this evolution. This time, it's better because it produces more accurate and ideal results. Competitive printing prices make this an excellent choice for your clinic. There are numerous services available. This episode also covers the challenges and how to get over your fear of beginning full arch dentistry with undergoing guided surgery, as well as the three things you need to know before introducing it in your clinic.



@04:55.6 Overcoming hurdles in full arch

@08:33.0 Step 1: Collecting and meshing data

@15:20.0 Step 2: Implant position scanning

@19:55.2 Step 3: Printing dentures

@22:41.7 Selecting the right screws



Who is Dr. Sully Sullivan?



Dr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months. 

 

As a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level. Dr. Sully lectures around the country on cone beam technology, cad/cam dentistry, obstructive sleep apnea, and practice management. He is also an ambassador for the 3D-Dentist teaching facility in Raleigh, NC.

We'll talk about fostering an environment that supports everyone's growth, whether it's finding the correct balance between individual talents and teamwork or understanding the power of collaboration.

Additionally, managing the team to ensure they are in the right position, also known as 'Giving the Right Position' to the team members.
