The Dental Hacks are joined again by Dr. Jason Smithson, this time with a "face to face" interview from the 2019 Spear Summit! The Hacks had a chance to see Jason speak twice on the first leg of his "North American tour" and we got all the details of what's coming up for one of our favorite educators and clinicians! Some highlights include: The Arizona--->North Carolina-->Philadelphia tour Simplifying posterior composites bulk fill composites are ready for prime time Social media and the "I can't do that" phenomenon Anterior layering and being too thick The return of anterior gold restorations People pay for what they want, not what they "need" Jason's treatment planning procedure, "a method of co-discovery" treating to health vs. treating for esthetics Demanding vs. Demands Committing to a practice philosophy If you can, should you? (the ethics of different tiers of dentistry) How "minimally invasive" dentistry is making things difficult for esthetic outcomes Some links from the show: Dentsply Sirona SDR Flow+ Jason's upcoming Cosmedent course (September 10-11, 2020) Spear Education It's time to sign up for VoD (January 24-25th at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas The Voices of Dentistry is just over two months away!
