• Dr. Dryer's amazing journey through dentistry • Going from private to group practice to inventing DryerPliers • How to use DryerPliers When I first began utilizing sectional matrix systems at my practice in Plano, TX.; I was immediately impressed by their ability to achieve anatomically "tight" proximal contacts. But, I also found myself continually searching my instrument drawers for some type of pliers that could be used for delivering those little bands into the patient's mouth. My thumb and index finger frequently became my only option. You too, have probably experienced those same frustrations with trying to avoid bending them, accompanied by the" fear" of dropping them! The difficulty of placing a sectional band (without deforming it) into a Mesial preparation done a maxillary molar, can only be understood by a dentist who has done it. Sound familiar? After searching several dental supply catalogues; I then began asking manufacturers at dental conventions. After receiving numerous blank looks from them across those exhibit tables, it reminded me that dental suppliers have no concept of working on a real patient. That is when I decided to design them myself. The early development versions were marketed on a limited basis from 2003-2007. Since then, numerous improvements in the design of the DryerPliers have been developed. They are now capable of placing all manufacturers sectional matrix bands into a mesial or distal tooth preparation, without ANY deformation of the band. Also; before completing your restoration, DryerPliers are able to remove the band from the tightest of proximal contact areas. You will never again be asking your assistant for hemostats! Try them out yourself, you will not be disappointed. Best regards, Jeff Dryer, DDS http://dryerpliers.com/

• What is believable aesthetic dentistry? • Why we should never be afraid to share information • And some favorite brands Master Ceramist Pinhas Adar has over thirty five years of experience in all phases of dental laboratory technology. He has studied with the Masters and did his internship with Willi Geller and has spent these years studying the secrets and principles of Smile Design and the impact of the psychological effects on consumers and has applied this knowledge in his own practice with extraordinary results.

Mr. Adar has made it his quest to understand the variety of products available in dentistry and particularly the preconceived ideas of the patient before selecting the right treatment options along with the proper product selection that works the best for that particular individual. He has discovered during his own pursuit of fulfillment that having an exuberant passion for, and always seeking to better the field of esthetic dentistry creates a vibrant state that unlocks a consistent peak performance. His strength is to teach and set a new standard in dentistry. He enjoys working with others to achieve an exceptional quality of esthetics and takes pleasure in teaming with others that are seeking the same intense passion thus benefiting from their enthusiasm. http://www.adar.net

• How Miladinov Milos got into photography • Miladinov's equipment recommendations • How to shoot like a pro Ceramist & Photographer I find that our job is more than just a simple routine, we change lives and we have satisfaction every time for this. In order to keep this memories I combined my passion for ceramics with my the one for photography so I can show how beautiful our job is. My work as a ceramist started back in 2004, though I own my lab since 2003, and I made a big step forward when I started to make photos of my work and see my mistakes from another point of view. This is how all started back in 2012 when I thought I made a good crown and wanted to show others , then after I made a photo I changed my mind after seeing how bad that crown looks like on a huge screen. Since then to every single work I do I make photo of it. As an advice: always make photos of your work because those pictures will definitely improve your work, for me it changed everything in less than 2 years. http://www.DentalPhotography.ro

Dan Marut, DMD established Quality Dental Plan in October 2009 after three years of rigorous testing and development.

•Importance of training •Morning Huddles •Hand offs •Great Staff Communication •Staff support doctor and doctor support staff •Use of headsets in the office •Much more I have a bachelor’s degree in human resources and a master’s degree in organizational development. What is that, you might ask? Basically, I have spent years learning how to deal with people in the context of an organization. Before entering the dental field I was a retail store manager, outside sales person, and technical recruiter. After graduating dental school, my husband Tony asked me to help him run is scratch dental office. We opened our first practice in January 2003 outside of Baltimore, MD. With some more advanced training from a great dental training company, we took our practice from $0 with 0 patients in 2003 to about $120K a month in collections in 2007. In January 2007, we took our entire staff to Carlsbad, CA (north of San Diego) for hygiene training and fell in love with Southern California. We sold our house and our practice and moved across country with our two young kids. For about a year, I worked in another dental office and quickly realized that without good management, working in an office is not fun. My husband and I opened our second scratch practice in June 2008, in San Diego. My point in sharing all of this is that I have had experience as an observer of dental offices, an employee in other offices, and finally as a manager for my husband’s practices. (I use the phrase “my husband’s practices” because I believe these are (or were) his practices, 100%. He’s the one that went to dental school for four years and he is the owner of our current practice. I am his Office Manager and as such, view my role as helping him reach his goals as the owner. It is not my practice! I do, however, understand the importance of the Office Manager’s role in kicking her doctor in the butt every so often! And you’ll see that theme time and again in my training and website.) The first time we opened a scratch practice was in 2003, in Maryland, when the economy was stronger and selling patients on treatments was much easier. We opened our second scratch practice in 2008—right after the recession. And we are only 20 minutes from Mexico, where patients can go to get much cheaper treatment. So we have had out share of challenges getting a new practice to succeed, just like many of you. Several years on, I’m happy to report that we are generating over $200K a month in collections as a fee-for-service office, with an average of 60–100 new patients a month. I run a staff of over 15, which includes three doctors, four RDHs, three dental assistants, and four employees at the front desk. I am now the founder and owner of Front Office Rocks. I created this company with the goal of helping other dental offices train and learn new policies and procedures that my team and I have proven are very successful in making dental offices work better. www.FrontOfficeRocks.com (800) 914-3595 10755 Scripps Poway Parkway Suite 413 San Diego, CA 92131

Sara Fossen discusses how to make your practice truly stand out, how to be a more effective leader, and how to make sure the solution doesn't sound worse than the problem when talking to patients! Hi—I’m Sara Fossen. I am a practice management coach. I run and own a business which assists doctors with the overall effectiveness within their business. I’ve been in this field for 17 years. I’ve had the great fortune of working with practices all over the world. My background includes office from London, to Canada to small town USA. My degrees are in business and communication. But, what really gives me credibility is my talent or knack to relate with people. What I do is assist doctor or business owners with their bottom line. I teach people how to “wow” their patients and simplify systems. All of my work is about getting patients and medical practices healthy, increasing profits, leading the team, and driving the bottom line. My work is all about effectiveness and implementation. At the end of the day, what I REALLY offer people is sustainable results, accountability and a solid game plan. It’s all about people and relationships. I give people permission to WIN! Sometimes, my work looks like creating yearly goals. Other times, it looks like refining systems and protocols. Ultimately, it’s all about leadership by the owner for the team and patients. People usually come to me for results. But what they REALLY walk away with is Freedom and Balance in their work and professional lives! How does that sound for YOU?
