How To Make Your Practice Appealing To Quality Team Members | Robert Spiel | The Dental Brief #16825 Jan 202300:18:25

Today we are joined by Robert Spiel to discuss How To Make Your Practice Appealing To Quality Team Members and much more!

Bob Spiel’s passion is building high-performance teams who deliver exceptional service while doing more, in less time with less stress. His firms, Spiel Consulting and Dentist Hiring Pros, transform general and specialty dental practices by building leaders at all levels — with a special focus on building leaders among owners and associate dentists.

Bob had over twenty-five years of business experience before getting into dentistry including being a hospital and surgical center CEO, as well as an operations director for two mid-cap firms. This taught Bob to see each need in a dental practice with a “systems orientation”. Using this approach, over the past 10 years his firms have achieved a remarkable 90% success rate in searching for, hiring, and retaining associate dentists compared to the dismal 75% failure rate the dental industry has as a track record. He sees this as the number one threat to the continuation of private practice dentistry and aims to change that.

He is a faculty member for Dr. Gordon Christensen where he teaches a breakthrough course on leadership each fall called Igniting the Leader in You, as well as the author of: Flip Your Focus — Igniting People, Profits and Performance through Upside-down Leadership (FlipYourFocusBook.com).

Practicing Without Pain; The Physical and Financial Benefits of Ergonomics | Stephanie Botts | The Dental Brief #16619 Jan 202300:11:26

Today, Stephanie Botts joins us to discuss Practicing Without Pain; The Physical and Financial Benefits of Ergonomics & much more!

Stephanie has been a full time clinical dental hygienist for 13 years, and currently practices in Denver, Colorado. She is passionate about her role in her patients’ health and well-being. 

Like many dental professionals, Stephanie has noticed increasing pain over the years due to the repetitive motions under a static position that the practice of dental hygiene requires. She began to ask herself, “What will my body feel like 10 years from now? Or 20? Will I be able to enjoy my retirement or will I be in chronic pain due to my career?”

These questions motivated her to learn about proper ergonomics and different equipment choices that can allow for pain free practice. 
Stephanie now helps others in her field with customized ergonomic assessments and coaching. She knows the realities of daily practice in a dental office, the unique challenges we face, and can help you not only improve the quality of your practice, but the quality of your life.

Dental Radiography:  Improving the Diagnostic Quality of Your Radiographs | Janet Simpson | The Dental Brief #15015 Apr 202200:19:52
Dental Radiography:  Improving the Diagnostic Quality of Your Radiographs

Today we are joined by Janet Simpson of DentalXrayCoach.com to discuss Dental Radiography, improving the diagnostic quality of your radiographs and much more!

Obtaining quality radiographs would be easy if all our patients had big mouths, nice wide arches, high palettes, and straight teeth.  However, we often have crowded arches, malposed and rotated teeth, touching gag reflexes, pushy tongues, chubby cheeks, and patients who tend to be exasperated or uncooperative.   To make things even more difficult the wired sensors are smaller, harder, bulkier, more uncomfortable than film and black or dark blue.  To top it off dental assistants that have been trained on the job "learned" to take dental X-rays in one weekend.  They were never taught the secrets of shadow casting, or bisecting.   My mission is to help.   

I've been a speaker, but would like to focus more of my attention to in person coaching.

My co-worker Darlene is an RDAEF with over 40 years in dentistry.  She and I want to spend more time in dental offices coaching dental assistants in all aspects of their job.

Janet Simpson, is a registered dental assistant in San Diego California.  She began her career in 1989 working in general and pediatric dental offices, but found her niche in education.  Currently, she is a speaker, consultant and owner of Dental Fundamentals Continuing Education.   she enjoys her roles as dental assistant, dental assisting instructor, clinic coordinator, and team trainer.  She has presented "Rad Refresher" at the California Dental Association CDA presents multiple times, as well as smaller meetings and various study clubs.  She is also an experienced trainer in regulatory compliance and California infection control requirements.   

Mrs. Simpson’s vision for her training company, Dental Fundamentals C.E., is to study challenges, uncover solutions, and connect the learner to increased knowledge and skill.  Because over 50% of  all the dental assistants in the state of California have been trained on the job, providing access to quality education is one of her highest objectives.  Her goal is to provide access to information that many training programs did not have time to present and to remove the barriers to professional growth.   Janet has been recognized as an exemplary online instructor by San Diego Mesa College where she worked as an adjunct instructor for 5 years.   Her online courses can be found at www.dentalxraycoach.com

Janet is passionate about supporting the underserved.  She enjoys her work as Clinic Coordinator of Cura Smiles Dental Clinic, where she facilitates volunteers providing pro bono oral healthcare to those in need in the heart of San Diego.   Cura Smiles was recogn

Teledentistry Support Organizations in Modern Dentistry | Dr. Vilas Sastry | The Dental Brief #14913 Apr 202200:13:28
Teledentistry Support Organizations in Modern Dentistry


Today we are joined by Dr. Vilas Sastry of Teledentistry.com to discuss Teledentistry in modern dental practices and much more! 

Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I have been in the dental industry for over 20 years and have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients.
Through my experiences with them, I have been able to find solutions to several of their issues ranging from actual dental care needs to the more complex financial and technological barriers that we must all navigate as health care providers.

From 2006-2017, as Chief Executive Officer of Aces Dental, I led a team of dentists to provide real world dental services in the Las Vegas area. Concurrently from 2007-2016 as CEO of Health Networks of America, I grew a dental insurance brokerage firm from scratch to a multimillion-dollar operation spanning over 3000 dental offices nationwide. I have gained industry insight from both the dental practitioner’s perspective and that of the insurance companies I worked with.

This has allowed me to create solutions that help dental practices, dental insurance, and most importantly the patients we serve. Today as CEO of Teledentistry.com, these previous experiences have led to the creation of a unique business model that bridges decades of experience in patient care, dentistry, technology and insurance. Please visit our company page www.teledentistry.com to learn more.

She began a start-up dental practice from scratch in the financial district of San Francisco six years ago. Three years ago, she purchased and merged into an existing practice in Union Square where she is currently full-time.

She provides her patients with the highest standard of care, always advancing in her clinical technique and education. She is on the path to be a Kois Graduate, accredited with the AACD, and a fellow of the AGD hopefully within the next two year. Her clinical passions include porcelain veneers, the art of composite, adhesive dentistry, CAD/CAM design with digital workflow, and full mouth reconstructive cases. She loves building her portfolio through beautiful photography.

Dr. Skoulas has shined in the industry as a bright and talented leader. She was selected as the Vice Chair of the highly competitive California Dental Association New Dentist Committee. In addition, she held a role as a delegate to the CDA House of Delegates representing Los Angeles. During her 3-year tenure, she contributed significant amount of time and effort to creating progressive impact on many key issues. These positions allowed her to voice her opinion on policy changes that would affect the dental industry as a whole. Her input helped in reformatting the dental board examinations nationally, modifying the licensure examination to the option of portfolio testing, advancing the creation of a mid-level provider in oral healthcare, as well as providing input on changes in dental insurance for patients through Covered California.

Her passion to stay informed and impact change and progress in her industry and healthcare are very clear to everyone she touches. Her creativity is evident as she always goes above and beyond each of her obligations in order to provide progress for future generations and raise the bar in everything that she does.

He is fluent in American Sign Language and worked with deaf students in California and Arizona as part of a church missionary program. He graduated from Brigham Young University in accounting.
