A drill-free future sounds like marketing hype, until you see the tools that are already changing day-to-day dentistry. Dan joins me for a wide-ranging, practical chat that starts with career reflection and ends with a clear view of where digital dentistry and AI are genuinely useful, where they raise hard questions, and how practice owners can respond without losing the human side of care.
We dig into what happens when you understand both the clinical and laboratory sides of restorative work and why digital workflows make accountability unavoidable. That leads to the uncomfortable truth many dentists share: perfectionism can be built into the job, because “perfect” is not a single standard. It shifts with anatomy, materials, patient expectations, and the judgement calls you can’t reduce to a checklist.
From there, we look at the new wave of dental AI and innovation we’re seeing at shows: Pearl Dental AI as a communication and diagnostic support tool for spotting early caries on radiographs, and Curodont as a peptide-based treatment approach aimed at remineralising suitable early lesions rather than automatically reaching for the handpiece. We also explore “robo reception” systems that can answer calls at scale, handle bookings, and reduce pressure on front-desk teams, while still protecting boundaries around medical advice and safeguarding.
