Done In One Presents: Beyond the Arches - What if the one thing you’re most hesitant to address is the only thing holding you back from living your best life? Your smile is more than just cosmetic; it plays a significant role in your quality of life.Beyond the Arches isn’t just another dental podcast. It’s a raw, real, and radically honest look at full-arch implant dentistry - told through the lens of someone who’s seen it all.Hosted by Dr. Daniel Noorthoek, a periodontist who has restored the smiles of thousands of patients and built his own protocol (Done In One), this show pulls back the curtain on an industry that’s often more hype than honesty. From patient struggles to surgical insight, marketing myths to quiet breakthroughs, Dr. Dan invites you into the stories behind the smiles…and the humans behind the hesitation.Each episode delivers unfiltered insight, deep empathy, and the kind of truth patients (and professionals) rarely hear in this space. Whether you’re considering treatment, supporting someone who is, or just curious about what’s really going on beyond the ads, you’re in the right place.Because this isn’t about selling teeth. It’s about restoring dignity. And the truth deserves a microphone.

    Ep. 38 - Why Timing Matters: The Done In One Full-Arch Timeline

    Dr. Daniel Noorthoek sits down with Dr. Sarah Laks and Erica to talk about one of the most overlooked aspects of full-arch treatment: time. They break down why Done In One uses a 5–7 day treatment window—rather than rushing restorations in 24 hours or stretching treatment over months—and how that balance supports healing, precision, and patient confidence. Dr. Laks shares the restorative perspective on try-ins, prototypes, and why living with a set of teeth for a few days can make all the difference. The conversation also explores what time truly costs patients: missed work, repeated appointments, emotional burnout, and years spent planning life around dental problems. Together, they explain why patients rarely regret the investment—but often regret waiting—and why meaningful, well-paced treatment leads to better outcomes and peace of mind.  🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep. 37 - The DIO Travel Package: Concierge and Peace of Mind

    Dr. Dan and Erica sit down with Daniel—Done In One’s travel concierge (affectionately known as “Danimal”)—to pull back the curtain on what the travel package actually looks like for out-of-state patients. They walk through how the handoff happens after a consult, what’s included (flights + hotel for the patient and a companion, airport pickup, rides to appointments, and a recovery-ready travel bag with essentials), and why the Monday–Friday timeline is designed to make the week smoother—especially with multiple try-ins leading to finals by the end of the week.Danimal shares what patients are most nervous about (sometimes it’s the surgery… sometimes it’s their first time flying ever) and how he coaches them through every step: boarding passes, TSA, baggage claim, and exactly where to meet at the airport. They swap a few unforgettable stories—like booking a three-layover trip from north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska, waiting at the airport into the early morning after a cancellation, and even handling the rare “hotel on fire” curveball with patients’ meds and family in mind.The episode ends on the real point of the travel program: reducing stress, creating a friendly, familiar face in an unfamiliar place, and turning a dental trip into something patients can actually feel good about—sometimes even a mini-vacation along the way.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep. 36 - Ask Us Anything: Patient Submitted Q&A!

    Dr. Dan is joined by a Q&A panel—Robert, Lilia, and Erica—to answer real patient questions pulled from the Done In One Facebook Group. They break down what happens when someone can only afford one arch (top vs. bottom), why the upper jaw often fails first (and why implant success rates can differ between upper and lower), and what to know about tooth infections—including why antibiotics don’t “fix it,” why pain sometimes disappears even when infection remains, and how surgery addresses active infection safely.The panel also dives into practical questions patients ask all the time: whether annual full-arch cleanings are covered by insurance, when a lifetime warranty may make dental insurance unnecessary, and why returning to the office for maintenance can be smarter (and sometimes cheaper) than rolling the dice locally. They cover high blood pressure and surgery clearance, what typically triggers rescheduling, and how sedation/nitrous can help when nerves spike readings. Finally, they unpack TMJ/TMD—how bite position can trigger symptoms, why tiny bite changes can feel huge, and how full-arch treatment can sometimes improve jaw comfort when designed correctly.To close, Dr. Noorthoek shares some of his most memorable cases—stories that highlight what the team cares about most: giving people the confidence to go live their lives again.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep. 35 - Periodontal Disease: Everything A Patient Should Know

    This week on Beyond the Arches, Erica sits down with Done In One Boca periodontist Dr. Blake Hauer to break down periodontal disease in a way that actually makes sense, and explain why it matters so much for anyone considering dental implants or full-arch treatment.They cover what periodontal disease is (and how it starts as gingivitis), the early warning signs patients should watch for (bleeding, inflammation, tartar buildup, abscesses, tooth mobility), and how dentists diagnose and classify it using the American Academy of Periodontology’s staging and grading system. Dr. Hauer also explains why a history of gum disease can still affect implant health—even after teeth are removed—due to long-term changes in oral bacteria and an increased risk of inflammation.From there, the conversation shifts to implant complications, including key differences between periodontal disease (teeth) and peri-implantitis (implants), and why implant problems can progress faster if not caught early. They dig into the biggest controllable risk factors—especially smoking and uncontrolled diabetes—how A1C levels relate to healing, and why certain medications (like steroids) may be avoided for diabetic patients after surgery.Finally, they talk maintenance: why annual removal and professional cleaning of a full-arch prosthetic matters, what at-home care should look like (hello, water flosser), and why choosing a team that follows you long-term is one of the best ways to protect your investment.The takeaway: full-arch implants can do incredibly well, but your habits, health factors, and maintenance routine play a major role in long-term success.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep. 34 - Patient Interview - Orange County Evan

    In this episode of Beyond the Arches, Erica and Dr. Dan sit down with Evan Matin—a patient who traveled from Southern California to Florida for his full-arch implant treatment. Evan’s story spans decades, from a traumatic upper extraction in his early adulthood to the long road that eventually led him to Done In One. After years of avoiding treatment due to a previous surgical complication, he finally reached a point where his lower teeth needed a solution, and his search led him through YouTube research, patient testimonials, and a virtual consultation that ultimately checked every box.Evan shares why he refused IV sedation, how he felt completely at ease during his procedure, and what surprised him most about his recovery. He also provides an honest comparison of living with an upper denture versus a zirconia implant bridge on the lower arch—highlighting the stability, comfort, and confidence he gained.Outside the dental chair, Evan gives listeners a glimpse into his adventurous life: off-road truck clubs in the California desert, wildflower photography inspired by childhood roots, exploring the Florida Keys and Everglades during treatment week, and the foods he celebrated once he could finally chew comfortably again.He reflects on the small fears patients rarely discuss—such as the space under a bridge—and how he addressed them with the restorative team. His perspective offers reassurance, clarity, and valuable insight for anyone considering full-arch implants.This conversation is about overcoming past dental trauma, finding a team you trust, embracing new experiences, and rediscovering the simple joys—like chips and salsa—thanks to a new, confident smile.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep. 33 - No Car-Salesman Energy: How We Talk Money Without Losing the Human

    In this episode of Beyond the Arches, Dr. Daniel Noorthoek sits down with DIO Boca Treatment Coordinator Lilia Blickle to tackle one of the most uncomfortable parts of dentistry for patients (and honestly… for providers too): the money conversation.Using two very different car-buying experiences—one full of pressure, delays, and “manager tactics,” and one refreshingly straightforward—they break down the philosophy behind Done In One’s approach to treatment planning and finances: patients are people, not quotas.You’ll hear how the team avoids the “big implant center” playbook of aggressive follow-ups, inflated pricing games, and car-sales vibes—and why a softer, more transparent approach leads to better decisions, happier patients, and fewer regrets. They also talk about holiday specials (yes, December gets busy), how to offer reminders without crossing the line into pressure, and why long-term trust matters more than short-term conversions.If you’ve ever felt the “ick” in a consultation—or you’re trying to understand what a respectful, ethical financial conversation should feel like—this episode is for you.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep 32 - Girl Power Takeover

    This week on Beyond the Arches, Dr. Dan hands off the mic to Erica and the DIO Boca girls, who help make the “teeth in a week” experience feel human: Dr. Laks, Nadia, and Jessica from the restorative team.Instead of talking hardware and headshots, the crew dives into the emotional reality of full-arch transformations: what it’s like to meet patients at their most anxious, guide them through a one-week whirlwind, and then watch them come back a year later completely changed. They share the moments that stick: the timid pre-op scan that turns into a confident “new strut” after the first try-in, the happy tears at delivery, the FaceTimes to family, and the quiet wins like finally biting into a burger again.They also talk about trust: why the one-week timeline gives patients space to adjust (without dragging out the process for months), how the team reads the room and matches each patient’s energy, and why the restorative side often becomes part clinician, part coach, part therapist.If you’ve ever wondered what happens between the appointments—and how a new smile can ripple into confidence, relationships, careers, and life milestones, this episode is for you.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.

    Ep. 31 - 2026 Holiday Recap - Done In One In Review

    In this special holiday episode of Beyond the Arches, Dr. Daniel Noorthoek is joined by Lilia Blickle for a warm, end-of-year recap. Together, they reflect on the year's most significant wins at Done In One and the culture that has helped the team grow while staying closely connected.They highlight major milestones across the organization, including the rapid growth of the Tampa location (more than doubling revenue since acquisition), the expansion and consolidation of the periodontal team, and the launch of the Jacksonville office—a massive new 5,000 sq. ft. space with 12 operatories, multiple consult rooms, a hygiene base, and room to scale both EverySmile general dentistry and Done In One full-arch care.A key theme of the conversation is culture: why it matters, how it’s intentionally built, and how it makes growth smoother, training more effective, and work more enjoyable. Dr. Dan and Lilia share behind-the-scenes moments from their trips to Jacksonville for hands-on training—van rides, movies, games—and how those trips have strengthened the team.They also recap the annual Christmas party, which has grown from a small private gathering years ago into an 80+ person celebration spanning multiple offices and the lab team. This year’s event included games, a scavenger-hunt-style giveaway, and a grand-prize cruise, plus lots of laughter, emotional moments, and surprisingly memorable food (including tomahawks and prime rib cooked by Dr. Dan for the whole crowd).🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: smile@getdoneinone.com☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.
