  • Partnerships, Innovation, and Long-Term Vision with Chuck Cohen

    18/09/2023 Duration: 39min

    In this podcast episode, get to know Chuck Cohen, the Managing Director of Benco Dental. Chuck tells us, first and foremost, that Benco Dental's perspective revolves around the concept of long-term thinking. Instead of fixating on quarterly results, they prioritize strategic decision-making and encourage dentists to view their relationship with distributors as partnerships rather than mere transactions. This entails sharing practice goals and objectives, with the distributor actively working to help dentists achieve these objectives, creating a value-added collaboration. "The interesting thing to me is that I think we are one of the best-kept secrets in dentistry. We're the third-largest player in the space and the largest family-owned, privately-held distributor. Patterson and Schein are bigger, but we're number three. Our market share is only 12%. So, that means, on average, eight out of 10 doctors may have heard of us but have never bought anything from us. I believe that we're a bit boutiquey in that way.

  • An Economical Look At Dental Technology with Dr. Parag Kachalia

    20/04/2022 Duration: 43min

    Dr. Parag Kachalia is one of the most influential people in dentistry. And as one of the Seattle Study Club’s Top 10 Young Educators, he’s using his influence to help other dentists achieve their best in their business. His only regret in his career is not joining the Study Club sooner. As dentists, we are responsible for the wellness of our patients, but it’s also our job to run a successful business. And Dr. Kachalia knows that dentistry is about more than just the 32 teeth in the mouth. He’s the rare kind of dentist who loves the business side of things. He minored in economics and explains how that education helps him more in his daily practice (and as a mentor) than any physiology course he took in college. Economics and dentistry weren’t always the plan — Dr. Kachalia wanted to be an oncologist, but he’s always been an economist at heart. His family ran their own business, and while he was inspired to take economics courses, not many other dental students are. In addition, many teachers aren’t prepared

We discuss the initial pushback she received from other dentists and patients, how attitudes today are changing, and what this means for the future of dentistry. Dr. Germain works closely with patients who suffer from TMJ and has researched many different treatment methods for them. She is writing a new book with colleague and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Benji Dhillon to help other dentists better understand this treatment method, and sh

  • Introducing Dentists to Ceramic Implants with Dr. Sammy Noumbissi

    06/04/2022 Duration: 54min

    Dr. Sammy Noumbissi is a dental surgeon and provider who changed the game decades ago by adding ceramic implants to his repertoire. While other dentists continued to use titanium implants. Dr. Noumbissi built his practice by listening to his patients. His first decade as a dentist was traditional, working as a general practitioner and using titanium implants. But when he returned to practice on the east coast, he started to work with a different type of patient. The patients in his neighborhood prefer a holistic approach, and they began to ask questions about the kinds of materials he was using in his implants.  Today, our patients have the same access to information that we do and often come into the office with in-depth questions or recommendations of the kinds of treatments they want to have. Dr. Noumbissi recommends that dentists humble themselves and listen to their patients. Then, when they come to us with questions about new procedures or technology, you can take it as an opportunity to learn.  Because

    30/03/2022 Duration: 51min

    In our opinion, Dr. Eric Jones is the definition of a Super GP. There is nothing he won’t do for his patients in the Atlanta-Metro area. He’s adopted a new kind of “hybrid practice” model that incorporates a wide variety of procedures and multi-practice elements.  A hybrid office is an innovative way to give your patients exactly what they need while working together with other dentists. Dr. Jones can sometimes complete ten or more different procedures in one day. He walks us through a typical day in his practice and discusses some of the differences he sees between implant patients vs. filling patients.  Dr. Jones spent the first two years of his career in a small family practice, learning how to treat people and help patients live healthier lives. We discuss how this differs from a corporate dental setting and why we need to change the way we approach dentistry that focuses more on the patient experience.  Creating the right patient experience doesn’t have to fall entirely on your shoulders. Dr. Jones recom
