“Dentist2Dentist”: Welcome to Dentist 2 Dentist Podcast for Dentists by Dentist and thier clinical team. 🦷🎙️

The world of dentistry has seen monumental shifts with the advent of technology. In our recent podcast episode, we had the privilege of exploring these changes with Dr. Sameer Puri, a leader in CAD/CAM dentistry, and Dr. Mike Miyaskai, a dentist turned successful entrepreneur.

Our journey began with a fascinating look into the evolution of CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, which has revolutionized the dental industry. CEREC uses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) technology to construct, produce, and insert individual ceramic restorations directly at the point of treatment in a single appointment. As a CEREC beta tester, Dr. Puri provided invaluable insights into the development and impact of this transformative tech.

From the early days of seric to its current advanced stage, Dr. Puri shared how it has influenced not only his career but also the entire dental industry. One of the significant benefits of this technology is the ability to provide patients with a fast, efficient, and highly effective solution for restorations in a single appointment. The integration of such technology into dental practice, while initially costly, has long-term benefits in efficiency, patient experience, and ultimately, profitability.

The conversation then shifted to an equally important, yet often overlooked, aspect of life and career – the definition of success. One of our guests took us through his journey of wealth accumulation and his realization of the importance of living within one’s means. The discussion emphasized the importance of reassessing priorities and finding fulfillment in simplicity. The ability to strike a balance between taking risks and avoiding overextension is a critical part of this journey.

We also delved into the challenges and rewards of the dental profession with Dr. Sam Puri, who highlighted the importance of technology and collaboration among colleagues. As dentistry continues to evolve, practitioners need to adapt and invest in technology, while ensuring it provides a positive return on investment and enhances patient care.

Our podcast episode concluded with a heartfelt conversation with Dr. Mike Miyasaki, who shared his journey from being a dentist to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Incorporating technology like the CEREC into his practice was a game-changer, providing immense benefits. Dr. Mike’s story is a testament to the potential for success when one embraces change, invests in technology, and focuses on providing the best possible care for patients.

In conclusion, the journey through the evolution of dental technology and the redefinition of success provided valuable insights and reflections. As the dental industry continues to innovate, professionals need to remain adaptable and open to change, focusing on patient care, efficiency, and sustainable success. This episode served as a reminder of the power of technology, the value of simplicity, and the joy of redefining priorities.
