    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.

    DentalBytes ep. 155 The Unfiltered Truth About Dentistry, Business, and Grit - Howard Farran

    Send a text In this landmark episode, Marc Wagner sits down with the legendary Dr. Howard Farran, founder of DentalTown, renowned dentist, speaker, entrepreneur, and unapologetically candid voice in the dental industry. If you’ve ever wanted to hear the raw, unfiltered truth about what it really takes to thrive in dentistry — not just clinically but financially, mentally, and spiritually — this is the episode to lock into. Dr. Farran brings fire and wisdom to every minute of the conversation, covering everything from the psychology of fear and survival, to burnout, to the difference between dentists who make it and those who stay stuck. This is not another fluffy motivational interview. It’s a wake-up call, a roadmap, and a reality check for anyone in the dental field. ⸻ Key Topics Discussed 🧠 Fear, Scarcity & Survival Instincts in Dentistry •Why humans are hardwired to focus on negativity — and how dentists must overcome this bias to grow. •The tribalism and scarcity mindset that hold professionals back from seeing abundance. 🏢 Private Practice vs DSOs: Why the Debate Misses the Point •Dr. Farran shatters the “evil DSO” myth and explains how group practices can be the best training ground for young dentists. •Real-world breakdown of DSO demographics (most are 4–9 locations, not corporate monsters). •The myth of “I don’t take insurance” straight out of school — and why it’s financial suicide. 💰 What Thriving Dentists Actually Do •Why your location and demographics are 80% of your success. •The importance of extended hours, emergency ops, and marketing funnels. •Why too many new grads are “too good” for real experience and miss out on the grind that builds greatness. 📈 Hard Truths About Dental Burnout •Burnout isn’t from dentistry — it’s from moral injury and being in the wrong work environment. •You didn’t go through 8 years of school to be treated like a production robot. •“You’re not burned out… You’ve just never been shown how to lead.” 👥 Mentorship and Moral Injury •Why having a true mentor — someone who protects your soul, not exploits your labor — is more important than your first salary. •How to identify toxic practices before you sign — including turnover red flags, manipulative treatment planning, and ego-driven owners. 🦷 Mastery Through Reps, Not Conferences •Forget flying across the country to a fancy CE course if you haven’t even read the textbook. •“You don’t learn to do implants by reading about them — you learn by screwing up the first 100.” •The pattern of success: read the literature → practice hands-on → embrace failures → level up. 📞 Your Front Desk is Losing You Millions •The highest paid role in every other industry is sales… so why is your receptionist your lowest paid, least trained employee? •Why call conversion is the number one ROI lever in your practice. •Dr. Farran’s data: DSOs like Heartland Support the show Thanks so much for watching and being part of the Dentist on Demand community—your support means everything.
