Hosted by Dr. Roxana Imanian, cosmetic dentist, facial aesthetic injector, and founder of Smile Edit. In Episode 4, Dr. Roxana sits down with Dr. Jon Marashi, one of the most influential cosmetic dentists in the world.

    Oral Surgeon Reveals What Most Dentists Never Learn | Dr. Serv Wahan | Pearls from the Pros Ep. 3

    Welcome to Pearls from the Pros, the podcast where dentistry’s top minds share the strategies, stories, and mindsets behind their success. In this episode, Dr. Roxana Imanian sits down with Dr. Serv Wahan, an accomplished oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Wahan holds both a DMD and MD from Tufts and the University of Pittsburgh, teaches as volunteer faculty at the University of Washington Dental School, and runs a multi-location private practice across four offices in the Pacific Northwest.

In this episode, you’ll learn: • How Dr. Wahan built a top 10% Spotify podcast with no team or outside support • The cross-promotion strategy that accelerated his podcast growth • Why he chose the six-year oral surgery residency (and what it taught him) • The real impact of algorithm censorship on surgical and dental content creators • How he developed his own line of surgical instruments • What separates good surgeons from exceptional ones • Why dentistry is physical labor — and how he’s thinking about longevity • The emotional transformation patients experience after full arch cases • His legacy: free education that has helped clinicians worldwide become better

    Welcome to Pearls from the Pros, the podcast where dentistry’s top minds share the strategies, stories, and mindsets behind their success. In Episode 2, I’m joined by Dr. Athena, a dentist known for her expertise in full-arch implant dentistry and life-changing smile transformations. Our conversation explores the discipline and passion behind performing complex All-on-X surgeries, the emotional impact these procedures have on patients, and what it takes to maintain endurance in one of dentistry’s most demanding specialties. Dr. Athena shares why the promise of changing someone’s life is what drives her through long surgical days, and how restoring a patient’s smile can restore something far deeper than teeth. Confidence, dignity, and the ability to fully show up in the world again. We also talk about the mindset required to sustain excellence in dentistry, how top clinicians avoid burnout, and why the emotional transformation patients experience often becomes the most meaningful part of the work. In this episode, we cover: • The discipline and endurance required to perform full-arch implant surgeries • Why All-on-X treatment can be life-changing for patients with terminal dentition • The emotional transformations dentists witness after smile restorations • Maintaining mental and physical stamina in a demanding profession • How purpose and patient outcomes fuel long-term passion for dentistry • Why dentistry is as much about restoring confidence as it is restoring teeth If you’re an innovator in the dental space, a practice owner, entrepreneur, or someone determined to level up in your field, this conversation offers a powerful look into the purpose and responsibility behind transformative dentistry.
