On Healing Mindset, host Nazish speaks with Dr. Edward Feinberg, DMD—a restorative dentistry pioneer carrying a 70-year lineage of evidence-based practice. We cut through hype to examine why basic engineering principles, precise step-by-step workflows, and seal integrity matter more than trendy tools. Dr. Feinberg explains when to save natural teeth with crowns and bridges, how thoughtful design prevents bone loss and food impaction, and where digital tech (like scanning and milling) genuinely helps—without violating fundamentals. If you want dentistry that safeguards confidence, function, and long-term oral health, this conversation gives you a clear, practical framework. About the guest: Edward Feinberg, DMD is Director of The Onward Program, educator, author, and second-generation master of full-mouth rehabilitation and crown & bridge. He teaches principle-driven methods backed by decades of documented outcomes. Key takeaways: Principles first: Long-term success depends on basic science and engineering (fit, force management, hygiene access), not on the latest device. Step-by-step quality control: Identify and correct errors at each stage; don’t “see what happens.” This mindset reduces remakes and failures. Seal matters: But-joint ceramic margins are hard to seal reliably; design and execution should minimize microleakage risk over years, not days. Preserve natural teeth: Well-planned crown & bridge can redistribute forces, tie teeth to prevent food impaction, and stabilize sites with prior bone loss. Bone is the foundation: Periodontal health determines longevity. Hygiene visits and home care are non-negotiable. Replace missing teeth thoughtfully: Prevent drifting, supra-eruption, and abnormal force vectors that escalate wear or bone loss. Use tech wisely: Scanning/milling can increase accuracy, but only when it supports fundamentals; tech is a tool, not an endpoint. Evaluate popular treatments critically: High-load, hard-to-clean superstructures can be risky; plan for hygiene, stress management, and long-term maintenance. Training gap: Many programs underteach proven crown & bridge principles; continuous learning is essential. Patient advocacy: Ask why a plan was chosen, how forces and hygiene are addressed, and what evidence supports long-term outcomes. How to connect with the guest: Website: theonwardprogram.com Audience tip: When booking a consult, ask to review long-term case follow-ups (x-rays/photos) for similar treatments.
