Ep. 36 - Ask Us Anything: Patient Submitted Q&A!

Dr. Dan is joined by a Q&A panel—Robert, Lilia, and Erica—to answer real patient questions pulled from the Done In One Facebook Group. They break down what happens when someone can only afford one arch (top vs. bottom), why the upper jaw often fails first (and why implant success rates can differ between upper and lower), and what to know about tooth infections—including why antibiotics don’t “fix it,” why pain sometimes disappears even when infection remains, and how surgery addresses active infection safely.The panel also dives into practical questions patients ask all the time: whether annual full-arch cleanings are covered by insurance, when a lifetime warranty may make dental insurance unnecessary, and why returning to the office for maintenance can be smarter (and sometimes cheaper) than rolling the dice locally. They cover high blood pressure and surgery clearance, what typically triggers rescheduling, and how sedation/nitrous can help when nerves spike readings. Finally, they unpack TMJ/TMD—how bite position can trigger symptoms, why tiny bite changes can feel huge, and how full-arch treatment can sometimes improve jaw comfort when designed correctly.To close, Dr. Noorthoek shares some of his most memorable cases—stories that highlight what the team cares about most: giving people the confidence to go live their lives again.🎧 Listen now and go beyond the arches with us!💻 Visit the DIO website for more information: https://getdoneinone.com📩 Email questions or comments: [email protected]☎️ Speak to a Patient Care Coordinator: (561) 468-8812📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WE BUILD OUR COMMUNITY! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BeyondTheArches TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@beyond.the.arches Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beyond_the_arches_podcast YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@BeyondTheArchesJoin our private, uncensored Facebook Group and talk with other current and future patients 24/7: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/12JXkZuHhkg/?mibextid=wwXIfrThank you for being part of the Done In One® experience!We’re excited to take you beyond the arches, one story at a time.
