The Very Dental Podcast Network

Episode 131 features an amazing Brain Trust lineup. It's so amazing that we're not going to break it up like we normally do. It's 100% Brain Trust goodness! The recent Voices of Dentistry meeting gave us a chance to try the Brain Trust style live, and I think you'll find it was amazing. Jason and Alan were joined by Dr. Mark Costes, Dr. Shawn Van de Vyver and Dr. Melissa Zettler. 4 of the 5 of us have experience with startup dental offices. One of the five of us is more interested in fart jokes. But we think you'll find it to be a really good discussion of the good, the bad and the ugly of dental startups from some people who know!

Rural dentistry. Everyone always says that's where the gold is. Dr. Justin Moody understands rural dentistry and we spend some time talking about how he has grown a rural, multiple practice empire in Nebraska and South Dakota. Then we talk about how Justin has designed a new educational program based in the United States! Justin's education center is called the Implant Pathway. What if you could earn implants from the beginning with much of the basic information organized and presented online and focus on the valuable hands-on stuff at the live programs? What if you could do live treatment planning, placement, uncovering and restoration all done in the United States? Well, now you can! And you'll be doing homeless veterans a favor! Justin has really put together an amazing implant program and he's offering listeners of the Dental Hacks some special savings! Use coupon code "Hacks1000" to save $1000 off of Implant Pathway registration!

Our guest for episode 128, Dr. Justin Moody, is one of the hosts of the popular dental podcast "Dentists, Implants and Worms."

How does one become a cosmetic dentist? Well, obviously there are tons of courses, but what about following a path that's been laid out by people who are already doing it? Dr Corky Willhite tells us how he got started with cosmetic dentistry and about his mentors.

So everyone takes time off between Christmas and New Year's Day, right? All that eating and college football means there's not enough time for a new podcast, right? Nope. We're on it. Boom. Dr. Shawn Van de Vyver joins Alan to talk about dental insurance, health insurance and having some empathy for the dental patient that wants to use their benefits. Then they dig into the idea of doing an "interview" with a new patient during their first exams and building up "emotional capital" (Shawn's fancy word). They also talk about the sponsors of the upcoming Voices of Dentistry Summit. These companies have decided to back the most innovative meeting os 2017 in spectacular fashion!

Everyone has those patients that would probably best be served with a full mouth reconstruction. But many or even most of those patients can't or won't fit that into their budget. What if you could offer treatment that could offer positive esthetic and restorative changes to stabilize these patients with composite resin? Dr. Corky Willhite has been delivering this service, which he calls "transitional bonding" for years and he teaches it at the Cosmedent CEE! In today's episode he explains how he started doing transitional bonding and how to do it: from smile design to a stable products that can last for years! Want to see more? Corky is presenting a 3 day course on transitional bonding from March 16-18th, 2017 in Chicago! The Brain Trust features 5 speakers at the upcoming Voices of Dentistry Summit!
