Known for his positive contributions to the lives of dentists and dental teams across the globe, Gary Kadi has been a devoted advocate for the whole of the dental community, their families, and their patients for over 19 years. A speaker, author and researcher, Gary re-energizes, interrupts the status quo, and shares discoveries and interests far beyond helping dentists implement systems and raise their profit margins. He is inspired everyday by the courage and personal successes of dentists and team members with whom he has the privilege of working and getting to know. After years of studying the reoccurring challenges of team, finance, and patient issues facing dentists for years he had a breakthrough. It came in understanding the business model dentists were fighting to fix was created by a non-business practitioner who could throw up a shingle and be successful. He discovered the source of getting dentists off the drill, fill and PPO treadmill. In 2008 while watching the first "Hangover" movie and hearing the line "You're not a doctor, you're a dentist" he then discovered his life's mission of "altering America's health by transforming the way the public relates to dentistry." He created NextLevel Practice to implement the Complete Health Dentistry™ business model where teams willingly embrace and implement change, patients respect their treatment regiments, invest in their health, and doctors enjoy practicing the way they envisioned at dental school graduation. The team-driven Complete Health Dentistry™ business model takes any practice that is stagnating and turns the situation around very quickly in complete alignment with the practice's values. Doctors and their teams are re-inspired by re-relating their role in patients' TOTAL HEALTH. Gary Kadi is also chairman of Partners in Complete Health, an organization committed to helping dentists understand the science behind "Complete Health Dentistry" and the connections between dental health and overall physical health. In 2013, he took the first step in mobilizing the Complete Health movement by producing Say Ahh, the world's first documentary on oral health through Partners in Complete Health. www.nextlevelpractice.com

John Dovgan: "I have been retained by Defendants and Plaintiffs' counsel as an expert in the area of dental standard of care. I have been a continually practicing full-time dentist for over 26 years and currently practice in Phoenix, Arizona. I have been a board approved consultant for over 20 years, adjudicating more than 1,000 dental board cases in Arizona. The primary responsibility of a board-approved consultant is to understand and define the standard of care and deviations from the standard of care. I have adjudicated cases that include failure to diagnosis, failure to treat dental conditions, dental fraud, inadequate treatment, over treatment, death of a patient, over sedation, inappropriate behaviors of a doctor and/or staff, inadequate clinical practice, inadequate treatment planning, appropriateness of care, and board generated cases due to malpractice settlements or awards. I have adjudicated cases in all fields of dentistry. I was appointed by the Governor of the State of Arizona as their Dental Expert Witness for the Parsons's v. Ryan class action lawsuit in 2013. I also was chosen by the Attorney General of the State of Michigan as their Dental Expert Witness for their class action lawsuit (Johannes v. Heyns) as well as Dental Defense Expert in the Federal Detainee Case in Illinois (Smego v. Mitchell). In addition, I currently consult and provide expert reports to the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners. I developed the only board-approved template used by dental consultants and board members as a guideline to assess appropriateness of care. Also, I have been retained as a dental expert witness in over 100 cases for both defendants and plaintiffs since the beginning of 2010 due to my expertise in the standard of care. I have over 3,000 hours of continuing education, including advanced training in prosthetics (both removable and fixed), dental implants, risk management, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Computer-Aided Design (CAD/CAM), Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT), full mouth reconstruction, digital x-rays, endodontics, and lasers (both hard and soft tissue). I have been a beta tester for Dentrix, a dental software program commonly used by dentists throughout the United States, and I am familiar with other commonly used dental software programs. Furthermore, I have lectured and done live patient demonstrations using both hard and soft tissue lasers. I have taught hundreds of dentists how to operate dental lasers, and I have published in restorative implant dentistry. "DOCS" has utilized several suggestions I have made in establishing Standard of Care guidelines for sedation protocols as well as incorporated labels for emergency kits I help develop. Additionally, I am a board-approved anesthesia evaluator and onsite inspection evaluator for the State of Arizona. I administer oral examinations and onsite inspections for anesthesia 1303 permits. Lastly, I currently lecture on "The Standard of Care — What is it? What is it not?" as well as do Webinars for continuing education." www.dovgandental.com

Dr. Edward Zuckerberg and his daughter, Arielle, stopped by the house to record a quick podcast and chat about what's new with social media marketing in dentistry.

Dr. Jonathan Greenburg. My career as a Dentist has been truly fascinating and I believe is what has led me to where I am today. So where am I? I am the founder and owner of Snore Experts which are 5 Treatment Centers in Los Angeles that exclusively treat Snoring & Sleep Apnea. They are where you would expect; Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Encino, Valencia and Newport Beach. I am also the founder and CEO of Zyppah, Inc. which is "HAPPY Z" spelled backwards. Zyppah is a Company that has 2 parts: A Consumer Division and a Professional, both to Dentists and Physicians Division. With my wife, I also wrote a book on Adventure Travel in the 90's called "If You Can't Remember Your Last Vacation, You Need This Book" which sold out its first 2 printings and for which we were interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show. The key component to Zyppah are the mouthpieces I invented to treat Snoring & Sleep Apnea. My undergraduate degree was in Bio-Medical Engineering. I was actually one of the 1st Bio-engineering classes to ever graduate Syracuse from Syracuse University. That was key to understanding how large a role the tongue plays in Snoring and Sleep Apnea and the fact that no one had developed a solution that was comfortable. Everyone just focused on bringing the jaw forward. But we can talk more about this later. www.successwithsleep.com

As most dentists and health care professionals who have run large, successful practices for 30 years are thinking about retirement, Dr. Dana Rockey is just getting started. Dr Rockey has treated Hollywood's elite, CEOs of large corporations, and families who have come to appreciate his platinum level of service. With the sale of his last large practice, Dr. Rockey opened a new generation dental practice in Newport Beach, California. The U.S. health care system has gained a reputation for generally responding to sickness and disease. Some refer to it as a "sick-care system". Often times doctors treat patients in silos, don't connect the dots with what's happening in one area of the body with a person's systems and organs, and generally simply react to sickness and disease versus focusing on keeping patients healthy. www.DanaRockey.com

After completing his orthodontic training at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Hang joined the faculty there to teach orthodontics. He later established an orthodontic practice in rural Vermont. After practicing traditional orthodontics for 7 years, he saw serious limitations in esthetics and function with the traditional approach to orthodontics. In 1981 Dr. Hang embarked on a continuing education odyssey which has so far taken him to 50 states and over 30 foreign countries in a quest for a better way to do orthodontics. In the process he moved to Southern California and developed a truly unique orthodontic practice with strong emphasis on facial esthetics achieved with innovative early treatment and adult treatment. Approximately 15 years ago he became aware of the significant positive affect some of his treatments were having on the airway. This opened up a whole new aspect of orthodontics - maximizing the airway for ALL orthodontic patients and specifically treating patients with SDB (sleep disordered breathing) or OSA (obstructive sleep apnea). Dr. Hang recently trademarked the term Extraction Retraction Regret Syndrome™ or E.R.R.S.™ which describes a symptom pattern common to many dental patients in virtually all dental practices. It is his treatment of E.R.R.S.™ and specifically reopening extraction spaces that has brought patients from more than 20 states and several foreign countries to his practice. He is lecturing internationally about the new era of non-retractive orthodontics which represents a 180 degree paradigm shift for the orthodontic profession.
