    DentalBytes ep. 163 - Dentistry Is Still a People Business

    Send a text In this solo episode of DentalBytes, Marc reflects on the journey of building the podcast, the lessons learned from years of conversations across the dental industry, and what really drives successful practices. This episode explores why dentistry remains, above all, a people business — from the patient experience to the front desk, from trusted mentors to the teams and partners that help practices grow. Marc dives into the often-overlooked importance of front-end staff, the value of strong recall and review systems, and how the right technology can be a true game changer when it fits the practice and the team behind it. He also shares why education, communication, and investing in people are still at the heart of long-term success in dentistry.     A thoughtful, honest episode for anyone in dentistry trying to build something meaningful while keeping people at the center of it all.

    DentalBytes ep. 162 PDC Season Innovation, Education, and What’s New for 2026

    Send a text It’s PDC season—and time is flying. In this quick, last-minute catch-up, I’m joined by Dr. Bruce Ward, President of the Canadian Dental Association, and a longtime leader within the Pacific Dental Conference organizing community.  We start with what Dr. Ward has been seeing on the national stage, including recent collaboration with dental association leadership from the U.S. and Mexico, and how Canada’s Dental Care Plan is being viewed internationally.  Then we dive into the heart of it: PDC—why it remains such a uniquely balanced conference with education, exhibit-floor energy, and a social atmosphere that brings teams together. Dr. Ward breaks down what’s new for this year, including the scale of the meeting (hundreds of sessions, a sold-out floor, and thousands expected to attend) and the behind-the-scenes logistics that make the show work.  We also touch on the broader shift happening in healthcare: the growing recognition that oral health connects directly to overall health, and how collaboration across professions is becoming more real (and more necessary) than ever.  If you’re heading to PDC—whether you’re a practice owner, a team member, or a first-timer—this episode is a great primer on what to expect, what’s changing, and how to make the most of the biggest dental meeting in the country.

    DentalBytes ep. 161 - Streamlining the Lab, Raising the Standard of Care

    Send a text Robert Hawkins from Aurum Group for a practical look at why the lab remains one of the most crucial pieces of modern dentistry—and how Aurum is evolving to meet the future. Marc and Robert unpack how the lab is more than “fabrication”: it’s a clinical partner that impacts case planning, predictability, esthetics, materials selection, turnaround, and the final patient experience. As dentistry becomes more digital, the lab’s role becomes even more important—bridging technology with real-world execution and quality control. They also explore a bigger shift happening right now: the growing intersection of medicine and dentistry. Robert shares how Aurum is leaning into that direction—including the development of an imaging centre designed to elevate diagnostic inputs, strengthen treatment planning, and help clinicians see more clearly before they treat. From there, they dig into how labs are streamlining workflows, improving communication, and reducing friction from intake to delivery. Robert breaks down what’s real (and what’s not yet) with emerging tech like 3D printed crowns, where ceramics still lead, and how innovation is being applied responsibly—not just for speed, but for outcomes. You’ll also hear about Aurum’s investment in training and collaboration through the Hyo Maier Centre for Dental Excellence and hands-on “Innovation Tours” designed to strengthen digital workflows between practices and technicians. If you want a grounded, forward-looking conversation about where labs—and dentistry—are headed, this one’s for you.

    DentalBytes ep. 160 - Turning Operations into Profitability

    Send a text Joined by Josh DeVries (CEO & Co-Founder, Intiveo) to unpack why “patient engagement” has become commoditized—and why the real win in 2026 is designing the full patient experience: acquisition, engagement/loyalty, and appointment completion.  We break down the execution gap inside practices, how to spot bottlenecks that quietly kill production, why Josh’s concept of “micro-agreements” reduces friction, and what it really takes to get patients to show up prepared (hint: it’s more touchpoints than you think). We also get practical on what Intiveo is built for—automating, tailoring, and reporting on key points in the patient journey, reaching patients through the channels they actually use (text/voice/email) , and even improving communication with non-patients like parents/caregivers and referring practices through Intiveo Connect—so practices can reduce no-shows, protect chair time, and deliver an experience patients can feel.

    DentalBytes ep. 159 - Why Great Dentistry Starts with Better Communication

    Send a text I sat down with Elise Poirier, a digital workflow specialist who’s lived on both sides of the fence—clinical dentistry, digital systems, and now helping bridge the gap between the practice and the lab.  In this conversation, Elise breaks down:  • Why new tech fails when training + workflow alignment aren’t built in (hello “expensive coat hanger” 🫠)   • Why labs aren’t “a checkpoint”… they’re a true partner in predictable outcomes   • And the big one: how we can run consultations in a way that builds trust, simplifies options, and creates a clear next step (instead of overwhelming patients with dental-speak).  Also… we had to talk about the Ocean team dynamic—different strengths coming together like a full-on Megazord. 🌊⚡️  If you’re building a more predictable digital workflow (or trying to tighten up patient communication), this one will hit.  #Episode159  #DentalPodcast  #DigitalDentistry  #DentalWorkflow  #CADCAM Support the show Thanks so much for watching and being part of the Dentist on Demand community—your support means everything.
