Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran

The Oravital® System is completely safe, easy, non-invasive, and highly effective in the treatment of periodontal disease and bad breath. Here's how it works. When you visit an Oravital® Certified clinic, the dentist or dental hygienist will examine your mouth for any visible dental problems. He or she will also ask about your medical history to determine if you have any conditions or risk factors that could contribute to gum disease and/or breath odor. Next, your dental professional will follow the Oravital® System's five steps. 1. Screening Using a swab, the dental professional will take samples of bacteria from your tongue, throat and teeth. These are sent to a laboratory, which conducts a microbial analysis to identify any harmful bacteria that are causing gum disease and breath odor. 2. Treatment If the report indicates there are harmful microorganisms in your mouth that are causing gum and/or breath problems, the dentist/hygienist will recommend an Oravital® antiseptic or antibiotic rinse that is specifically targeted to killing the germs causing your infection. You use the Oravital® rinse for approximately two weeks until the harmful bacteria are under control and a proper balance of healthy bacteria in your mouth returns. 3. Evaluation Following initial treatment, you will have another dental checkup to evaluate your gums and breath. 4. Maintenance Regular dental hygiene appointments and good oral home care will help you maintain a healthy mouth. Along with regular brushing and cleaning between your teeth, using an Oravital® maintenance rinse on a daily basis will help to prevent recurring breath and gum problems. 5. Revaluation Be sure to schedule regular appointments with your dental professional to check for bleeding or other gum problems. We recommend Oravital® microbial testing at least once a year to see whether the bacteria in your mouth are still in balance. If harmful bacteria are increasing, infection could return. It's easier to address any problems before this happens. We know your health and self-confidence are important to you! The Oravital® System has an average clinical success rate of 85% in treating bad breath and mild to moderate gum disease. www.Oravital.com

Our powerful call tracking software will work for any business. Our unique abilities are to sync calls with existing customer data, and to provide more actionable, detailed data.

Tracking your calls enables you to go back and reference them whenever you'd like. Now you can find out why that big spending customer decided not to buy with you! With our unique ability to sync your calls with patient management software, like Dentrix and Eaglesoft, we can show you more detailed data, even before you pick up the phone! Before the phone even rings, our caller ID will give you a detailed look of each caller. For existing patients you will be able to see information like insurance and last appointment date. For new patients, we provide you with information such as what marketing campaign they came from so that you can react accordingly. We also provide access to your calls, providing your staff with the tools they need to improve their call handling abilities.

Dino's Story: In 2006, as an award winning business mentor, Dino's life was changed with one simple question asked by a client couple. This couple was feeling the stress of their business in their marriage. After Dino had helped them create specific systems that helped them work better in their business, the clients asked if Dino had a program that would help them in their marriage, the same way it helped in their business. That was the beginning of The Business of Marriage. Five years later, in a true full circle moment, a different client, a dentist and marriage men-tee, asked Dino if he had any systems that would help with the relationships in his office as well as the systems he had taught for their marriage. The result was The CORE. Based upon the same skill set, systems and tools for successful marriages, Dino and his team create systems for success in the office. It is the only system in the world that focuses on helping all of the relationships in your life run at their ultimate performance. www.DinoWatt.com

As a dentist who practices within the largest lab in the US, Dr. DiTolla has access to tens of thousands of doctor's preps and impressions on a monthly basis. As a result, he has an intimate knowledge of the common habits of the dentists getting the best restorative results. As a self-proclaimed "average dentist", he has developed techniques that provide exceptional restorative results with a very average set of hands. His mission is to share these techniques with dentists to help them improve their preps, impressions, and restorations. When dentists perform better restorative dentistry they are happier, more profitable, and most importantly, the patient receives excellent restorative dentistry.

About Dr. Tuan Pham: I'm Dr. Tuan Pham and although I look like I've just graduated from dental school, I have 10 years of real life dental practice experience under my belt in saturated suburban Austin, TX. I love my job. I mean it. The nerdy part of myself loves the technicality and challenge of dentistry while the rest loves the results from success in skillful communication, staff management, and leadership. What I love most about dentistry (besides providing myself with a great income and ample time for enjoying life) is simply chatting with patients. I know some of you might not like it, but trust me you should! Like any skill, it can be learned quite easily step-by-step. By learning and enjoying to chat, I create the relationship which allows me to easily build value and trust which translates to high treatment plan acceptances and ultimately the nerdy part of myself nerding out and doing dentistry the way I want! It's a positive feed cycle. Believe it or not, but I did not always feel this way nor love the management and leadership part of dentistry. I used to be quiet, introverted, and just wanted to do dentistry and be left alone. But alas, I realized that I needed more patients to do the work! I realized that if I wanted to do work, I would require a higher volume of patients accepting my proposed treatment! This was my AH HA moment: I realized that being a great dentist involved more than just technical hand skills. If I wanted to be successful, then I must learn everything else including communication, leadership and staff management. I also realized that all these traditionally difficult things were actually very easy to learn because they could be learned in easy step-by-step sequences. So now I package everything that I have learned in a 48 week series of easy to follow steps. I will teach you basic principles that translates to clear, easy steps on how to more effectively communicate with patients and staff, how to manage staff via four easy scenarios, how to lead and have vision and how you will become a Dental Maverick. You will create the destiny and dream that you have always wanted. If you can learn how to move your hands to create smooth crown margins, then surely you can learn how to be a Dental Maverick. Once I had my epiphany, I quickly created my personal goal within a year: a 1.2 million dollar production office without write-offs from any PPO and working 32 hours a week seeing an average of 4 doctor patients a day and by the gym at 5:15 PM every day! All it takes is for you to commit, sign up and you will have access to everything that I have learned. Now besides dentistry, I love to fly fish exclusively and watch college football. I'm a Longhorn, but oh boy is SEC football so good. Now see, don't you all feel like you know me already? See how being a communication ninja can build trust and thereby increase treatment plan acceptances? www.DentalMaverick.com

Dr. John Schwartz, CEO of Centric Notes: Out of 120,000 dentists in the United States, Dr. John Schwartz is one of only four dentists that have also earned the title of Master Ceramist. A master ceramist is one who can construct the highest quality dental restorations. A master ceramist is a very skilled artisan that has many years of training in the art and science of cosmetic dentistry, including ceramic and dental porcelain sculpting and construction of restorations. Extensive training and study are only part of the chemistry that makes one a master ceramist. Not every ceramist possesses the skill set and talent to become a Master. A master ceramist possesses the ability to create restorations that are indistinguishable from nature. C Notes is an iPad application that is used for medical note generation. It creates a narrative note that doesn't sacrifice clarity for convenience or speed. C Notes (short for Centric Notes) can be used during a procedure by either the dentist or the assistant to get the most accurate information in real-time, or shortly after a procedure while the details are still fresh. Ideally, note writing of any kind should generate a note as close to the time of performing the actual procedure that it is describing. C Notes is targeted to any practitioner that wants to save time writing notes, thereby, enabling them to spend more time in clinic without sacrificing clarity or completeness in their notes. Covering 11 dental departments a C Note can be written for any treatment procedure in dentistry. C Notes solves the problem of producing medical notes quickly without the use of templates for note writing, dictation software, or unwieldy medical software. All of which require a lot of manual text entry upon editing. Once a C Note is created it can be imported into your preferred dental software system with secure encryption or be printed to be placed in a paper chart. C Notes was created to ameliorate the pain of note writing. Most medical notes have a lot of the same boilerplate information with minor variations. We sought to capture the 60% of dental notes that contain a lot of the same information with minor variations. At the same time we created a method by which the remaining 40% of optional/additional, truly unique, entry components for the complex parts of the note could quickly be entered also. Thus, allowing the practitioner to write complete detailed notes efficiently. For a single dentist practice (90% of US practices are solo practitioner) the struggle is to be able to maximize the number of patients that can be seen in a day. Waiting until the end of the day to write notes can lead to errors in memory and errors/omssions due to end of day mental fatigue. Detailed clinical notes are a necessity writing notes is not a billable part of the job, but is nonetheless important to document what was done in a procedure for future visits or in the event of a malpractice lawsuit. We hope C Notes gives the practitioner peace of mind knowing that their notes are well documented and saves hours a week that can better be spent seeing more patients, building their practice, taking CE courses and reclaiming personal time/spending time with family. Welcome to C Notes. www.CentricNotes.com

Years of working in their own professions, along within the HJT community, has allowed the HJT team to complete hundreds of finished products. Our expertise will easily translate into the time and money you save by choosing HJT. Whether you're just getting started, or perhaps renovating an existing business, HJT has the knowledge, experience, tools, and technology to meet your needs.

Collaboration is key, as we'd like to say at HJT, so sitting down, getting to know you, and understanding your ideas is all part of the process. We design with your ideas in mind, and won't stop until the job is done right. HJT is more than just a design consultant, we're a friend. Let us – a dentist, a designer, and an architect – work with you to build the office of your dreams. A Designer – HanH H. Tran HanH H. Tran is a Design Consultant and Project Manager with over 26 years of experience in the field of architecture. This experience has instilled him with the ability to actively manage design, production and documentation of projects within the client's budget, schedule and program. Whether interfacing with owner's agents or coordinating with consultants, Mr. Tran retains a high level of awareness and sensitivity to design. His goal is always providing the highest quality experience for clients and exceeding their expectations throughout the process. Mr. Tran's diverse background and practical experience is born from employment with local and regional Fortune 500 Architectural and Engineering firms serving both domestic and global clients that have included projects in Healthcare, Dental, Museum, Education, Retail, Automotive, Corporate, Food Manufacturing, Historical, and Religious.

He is NCARB certified and registered in Ohio, Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, Florida, Indiana and Kentucky, with Illinois, Tennessee, Texas and Pennsylvania in process. Unlike most architects, who simply follow notes and ultimately guess at what the design team had in mind, Mr. Jarvis is available through every step of the process. Working closely with both Dr. Huntzinger and Mr. Tran (along with the rest of the HJT team), Mr. Jarvis is able to grasp and then correctly display the overall picture that each client has decided on. Again, collaboration is a huge part of the HJT process, and Mr. Jarvis takes part in full guaranteeing 100% satisfaction each and every time. A Dentist – William M. Huntzinger, D.D.S. William Huntzinger DDS founded HJT Design Consultants in 2006 while building his second new 12 operatory office. He had one goal and that was to make the process of designing, building or remodeling a dental office as simple and as cost effective as possible. He wanted other dentists to push the easy button. During the last 25 years he has purchased 8 dental practices and moved, built and remodeled 7 different times himself. He has dealt with Benco, Patterson and Henry Schein in every manner you can think of. He has worked with many different designers, architects, builders, engineers,contractors and subcontractors. He has made many mistakes during this time and learned from these mistakes. HJT exists so you do not have to make those mistakes. He brought the two most talented people in design and architecture together to form our company. We know the dental business and we know the building business. You do not have to reinvent the wheel you can make this a much easier process. As far as Dr. Huntzinger's dental practice, it now encompasses a team of 7 doctors including an orthodontist, 3 loc

The focus of his dental team is to provide comprehensive family care, emphasizing on patient comfort as well as high standard in delivery of advanced dental care and services. He believes that all patients deserve the latest in management of oral health with minimal intervention and sustainable outcomes. It should be done with proper consideration to total body system. He spares no effort and resources in acquiring the technology and knowledge. He strives to make that accessible in a safe and professional environment for the best interest of the patients. Quoting his mentor, Clayton Chan, DDS "I remain a "General Dentist', purposely not specializing in any particular area of dentistry, which would limit my scope of care and ability to treat my patients comprehensively." With great emphasis on continuing professional education, Dr Yue has relentlessly pursued personal growth through his post graduate studies. Louisa Yue: Louisa Lee is a serial entrepreneur whose passion for learning and teaching has led her to where she is today. She read English, Literature, and Philosophy in university, graduating with a Masters in Linguistics from UCL and became an educator after that in a top Girls’ school in Singapore. She started and has since sold two other businesses while joining her husband Dr Yue Weng Cheu to purchase and run DP Dental in 2006. What started as a small practice with one dental chair has since grown to a six-chair practice with close to 30 employees. Together, they have created a unique, family-run, boutique practice. Instead of spreading resources and launching clinics around Singapore for reach, they opted to concentrate their talents and technology, creating a fully integrated practice, complete with some of the most progressive equipment and knowledge in dentistry. As the Managing Director of DP Dental, Louisa strongly believes in honest dentistry with a heart and that businesses should run accordingly. The Mandarin name for the practice诚芯牙科, translates this perfectly. Strong ethics and values shape and define her personality and work culture as the practice only hires those who have a great attitude and an open mind for learning. Louisa travels the world with her husband seeking more knowledge on cutting-edge procedures and equipment as well as ways to remain completely modern and progressive in Singapore. She and Dr Yue are adamant that they are the early adopters in technology, be it through machinery or practice. This applies to management ideologies too. She believes that being a congruent entrepreneur is the key and hence they are progressive in all aspects of the business. In addition to technology, Louisa’s other main focus is building a holistic practice similar to Functional Medicine or Traditional Chinese Medicine, where the root cause is looked at, rather than just the aesthetic. She is currently also Director of Dental ED South East Asia, providing cutting-edge, high quality education for dentists in the region. A strong supporter of philanthropy and CSR, she sits on the advisory board of Imagine Cambodia Foundation to raise funds for the home housing orphans or children from disadvantaged background. www.dpdental.com
