September 2, 2020September 1, 2020Leave a Comment

Cost can be a major consideration in Dentistry. However ensuring that are we not only considering the financial costs to our patients, but also the biological costs?

This week on the podcast we are chatting again with Dr Bharat Agrawal and we are discussing a topic that he is extremely passionate about – using pre-restorative alignment to achieve conservative aesthetic outcomes. This episode will take you from only seeing ortho only as something to fix the bite, or for crowded to teeth, to starting to see its applications and benefits in almost all of your restorative patients.

Bharat fills us in on the paradigm shift from being purely a cosmetic dentist to a conservative aesthetic dentist with the patients best interest in mind. He shares with us one of his favourite tools to achieve this through orthodontics, as well some tips to help us better communicate this to our patients.

Dentistry is a beautiful intersection between healthcare, engineering and art. And the art of dentistry is on show more than ever with social media and the focus on visual content.

However much like the popstar has a genius songwriter supporting them, the aesthetic dentist has a master ceramist creating the impeccable outcomes we see all over social media.

Szabi Hant is a master dental technician who works with and supports some of the biggest names in dentistry. His work is some of the best and it is often the seemless natural outcomes he produces that leaves us in disbelief.

So naturally, it was our pleasure to invite him onto the podcast and find out about his journey, his work and his advice on photography, shade selection and preparation.

In recent times more successful dentists are standing up and sharing stories of challenge, not just their successes. Whether it’s a failed case and a life story that they have got through, it really has helped many thousands of us dentists realise these great dentists have challanges too, just like us.

Dr Matthew Youssef has achieved a lot in his relatively short career. Matt has extensively trained in implants and surgery and has gone on to create ARIA Dental Education, a training academy where I met Matt. They provide entry level hands on implant training with support from some of the best Australian specialists.

Yet the real value here is in Matts story and achievement, even in the face of adversity.

I hope this inspires you as much as it inspired me. Enjoy.
