    Ep. 61 - Meet Dr. Copulos

    This episode of Beyond the Arches takes a step outside of Done In One to introduce you to Dr. Copulos, a periodontist at Boca Perio — a long-standing periodontal practice in Boca Raton owned by Dr. Daniel Noorthoek alongside Dr. Lindsay, who together bring over 80 years of combined experience to the community. Dr. Dan and Erica sit down with Dr. Copulos to learn his story — from growing up in Miami and originally pursuing orthodontics, to discovering his passion for periodontics during his residency, to eventually building his own practice in Boca Raton. He shares what drew him to merge his practice with Dr. Lindsay's after 30 years of running his own office, and how that partnership has shaped the way he treats patients today. The conversation goes well beyond dentistry, touching on his deep involvement in his Greek Orthodox church, mentoring students into dental school, raising four high-achieving kids, and a remarkable, decades-long journey tracing his family's roots back to a small village near Sparta, Greece.It's a conversation about legacy — in periodontics, in faith, and in family — and what it means to build a 30+ year career rooted in trust and genuine care for patients. 🎧 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!

    Ep. 60 - Patient Interview - Christina: A Second Beginning

    In this episode of Beyond the Arches, Dr. Dan and Erica sit down with Christina, a Done In One patient who's only days out from surgery and currently in her last set of temporaries — finals are right around the corner. Christina shares her story, from growing up between New Jersey and Florida, to working as a deckhand and paddleboard yoga instructor on Anna Maria Island, to the serious car accident that changed the course of her life and ultimately led her to research full-arch options across the country. After exploring dozens of practices, she chose Done In One and traveled using the travel package, an experience she credits with making an overwhelming process feel manageable. The conversation covers what it's really like in those early days after surgery, the emotional ups and downs of adjusting to temporaries, and the moment her new smile finally felt like her own. Christina also opens up about her recovery from the accident, including spinal surgeries and a traumatic brain injury, and how she's approached healing with resilience and a focus on her overall health. This episode is a candid, honest look at what the early days of the full-arch journey actually feel like — uncertainty, healing, and all — and a reminder that the process, while not always easy, is worth it. 🎧 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. 59 - Road Trip to Jax: Behind the Scenes

    This one's a little different. Instead of the studio, Dr. Dan and the crew are recording live from the road — somewhere on I-95, headed to Jacksonville.Done In One's Jacksonville location opened in September 2025, and the team makes the trip multiple times a month to keep the culture consistent and the care on par with Boca Raton and Tampa. On this particular run, the car is packed: Dr. Dan, Nick (COO), Lilia (patient coordinator), Dina (surgical assistant), Daniel (travel coordinator and driver), and Carly (social media manager). Between Buc-ee's stops, alphabet games, and movie nights, the conversation covers why Jacksonville made sense as a third location, what it takes to build Done In One's culture from scratch in a new city, and what keeps the team going the long haul week after week. Equal parts road trip diary and behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to grow a practice the right way.💻 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. 58 - Let's Talk Financing

    In this episode of Beyond the Arches, Dr. Dan is joined by patient coordinators Lilia and Erica, and Done In One's CFO, Sam, for an honest, in-depth conversation about one of the biggest questions patients have — how do you actually pay for this? From the financing companies Done In One works with (Proceed, Cherry, PatientFi, and Lending Club) to alternative options like HELOCs, 401(k) loans, hardship withdrawals, credit unions, and personal loans — this episode breaks it all down in plain language. Sam brings his financial planning expertise to help patients understand credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, and how to put themselves in the best position to get approved. The team also dives into the Done In One warranty program, the importance of not getting discouraged if you're denied by one lender, and why roughly 70% of today's patients use some form of financing — and why that's completely okay. Whether you're just starting to explore your options or you've already been turned down somewhere, this episode is your guide to finding a path forward. 🎧 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. 57 - After the Surgery: Your First 72 Hours

    Surgery is just the beginning. What happens in the days that follow is its own journey — and one worth knowing inside and out before you ever sit down in the chair. In this episode, Dr. Daniel Noorthoek and Erica sit down with Jessica, a restorative dental assistant at Done In One Boca Raton, for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what the first 72 hours after full-arch surgery actually looks like. From the before photos taken on day one to the try-in appointments that follow, Jessica walks through what patients experience, what they ask, and what surprises them most. They dive into the details that make the restorative phase so unique: why the prototype teeth are all one color and what that means for your final shade, how speech sounds like S's, T's, F's and V's help the team dial in fit and function, why biting your cheek in the first few days is completely normal, and why the team encourages soft foods right away rather than avoiding eating altogether. You'll also hear why having a companion at your appointments can make a big difference, how before photos come into play in ways patients don't expect, and what it really takes to go from implants placed to a smile you love. If you've ever wondered what that first week of restorative appointments actually looks like, this episode gives you the full picture.🎧 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. 56 - Patient Interview - Abdell: From Research to Reinvention

    Dr. Daniel Noorthoek and Erica sit down with Abdell, a software engineer originally from Puerto Rico, for a deep-dive patient conversation that spans far beyond dentistry. Abdell shares his journey of living with ongoing dental challenges since childhood, navigating years of incremental fixes, and ultimately reaching a breaking point after his temporary prosthesis broke—prompting him to begin a global search for a permanent solution. That research took him across the country and abroad before leading him to Done In One in Boca Raton, where authenticity, consistency of results, and patient-centered care set the practice apart. He opens up about the emotional side of finally “stepping out of the shadows” and making a decision after years of hesitation, as well as the immediate impact of treatment on his confidence, eating habits, and overall quality of life. Abdell also reflects on the importance of clarity during recovery, the value of the lifetime warranty model, and why simplicity and transparency matter in healthcare decisions. The conversation then shifts into his professional world in software engineering and AI, where he explores how emerging technologies could improve patient education and streamline complex processes like consent forms—while still emphasizing ethics, human judgment, and authenticity as non-negotiable foundations. Together, the group unpacks how innovation at the intersection of disciplines can meaningfully improve patient experience without losing the human touch. This episode is ultimately about transformation—of health, mindset, and perspective—and how thoughtful research, trust, and the right team can turn a long, uncertain journey into a permanent, life-changing solution.🎧 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!

    Ep. 55 - Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me? Real Questions, Real Answers

    Full transparency has always been at the heart of Done In One. But even with the most thorough consultations and pre-op calls in the world, some questions only come up after surgery — when you're home, a little sore, and wondering if what you're experiencing is normal. In this episode, Dr. Daniel Noorthoek and Erica sit down for a candid Q&A pulled from real patient questions and online communities, tackling the post-op moments that don't always make it into a consultation. From asymmetrical swelling and bruising to metallic tastes, numb lips, emotional crashes, and what to do if something unexpected comes up — they answer it all with honesty, context, and zero judgment. They also touch on some lesser-known topics like the "pizza burn" sensation on the roof of the mouth, why taking that first pain pill after surgery can be harder than expected, and how long you realistically need support at home. If you're in your first week post-op, preparing for surgery, or just want to know what the experience really looks like beyond the highlights, 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!

    Ep. 54 - All-on-4 vs. All-on-6: What Actually Matters?

    In this episode of Beyond the Arches, Erica sits down with Dr. Daniel Noorthoek and returning guest Nadia from the Done In One Boca restorative team to break down one of the most common (and most confusing) questions patients ask during consultations: All-on-4 vs. All-on-6… what’s actually the difference?Dr. Noorthoek explains how the original “All-on-4” concept was developed for denture wearers with limited bone, why the industry eventually shifted toward the broader “All-on-X” terminology, and how implant count has become a major marketing point in full-arch dentistry. From there, the conversation digs into what patients rarely hear: more implants are not automatically better. They discuss how implant positioning, bone quality, prosthetic strength, long-term maintenance, and even the location of screw holes can all impact the longevity and functionality of a zirconia restoration.Nadia also shares the restorative perspective—why additional implants can sometimes create more challenges when designing strong, comfortable teeth, and why more screw access holes can increase weak points within a prosthesis. Together, they explain why Done In One focuses less on blanket implant counts and more on placing the appropriate number of implants for each individual patient.The episode also touches on sinus lifts, implant spacing, infection-related bone loss, “refresh” cases involving failing implant work from other offices, and why flexibility during surgery matters more than rigid treatment plans. The takeaway: full-arch treatment is not one-size-fits-all, and the best outcomes come from engineering the right solution for the patient—not chasing the highest implant count.🎧 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!
