Episode 300: Dr. Steven Vorholt

In this special on-location episode, we broadcast straight from our stunning new Napa Valley winery to discuss the future of dental education and the undeniable parallels between crafting great wine and building a successful practice . Overlooking the historic, terraced vineyards of Spring Mountain, we reflect on the evolution of the implant industry and share what it takes to build an experience that patients—and doctors—truly want to be a part of . We dive into the clinical and economic realities shaping modern dentistry, from the necessity of mastering single implants before jumping into full-arch cases to the drastic drop in lab fees for zirconia bridges . We cover the current "hygiene dilemma," the frustrations of insurance-driven dentistry, and why some doctors are pivoting to completely hygiene-free, concierge practice models.
