Send us Fan MailIt’s PDC season—and time is flying. In this quick, last-minute catch-up, I’m joined by Dr. Bruce Ward, President of the Canadian Dental Association, and a longtime leader within the Pacific Dental Conference organizing community. We start with what Dr. Ward has been seeing on the national stage, including recent collaboration with dental association leadership from the U.S. and Mexico, and how Canada’s Dental Care Plan is being viewed internationally. Then we dive into the heart of it: PDC—why it remains such a uniquely balanced conference with education, exhibit-floor energy, and a social atmosphere that brings teams together. Dr. Ward breaks down what’s new for this year, including the scale of the meeting (hundreds of sessions, a sold-out floor, and thousands expected to attend) and the behind-the-scenes logistics that make the show work. We also touch on the broader shift happening in healthcare: the growing recognition that oral health connects directly to overall health, and how collaboration across professions is becoming more real (and more necessary) than ever. If you’re heading to PDC—whether you’re a practice owner, a team member, or a first-timer—this episode is a great primer on what to expect, what’s changing, and how to make the most of the biggest dental meeting in the country.Support the showThanks so much for watching and being part of the Dentist on Demand community—your support means everything.

DentalBytes ep. 161 - Streamlining the Lab, Raising the Standard of Care
Send us Fan MailRobert Hawkins from Aurum Group for a practical look at why the lab remains one of the most crucial pieces of modern dentistry—and how Aurum is evolving to meet the future.Marc and Robert unpack how the lab is more than “fabrication”: it’s a clinical partner that impacts case planning, predictability, esthetics, materials selection, turnaround, and the final patient experience. As dentistry becomes more digital, the lab’s role becomes even more important—bridging technology with real-world execution and quality control.They also explore a bigger shift happening right now: the growing intersection of medicine and dentistry. Robert shares how Aurum is leaning into that direction—including the development of an imaging centre designed to elevate diagnostic inputs, strengthen treatment planning, and help clinicians see more clearly before they treat.From there, they dig into how labs are streamlining workflows, improving communication, and reducing friction from intake to delivery. Robert breaks down what’s real (and what’s not yet) with emerging tech like 3D printed crowns, where ceramics still lead, and how innovation is being applied responsibly—not just for speed, but for outcomes.You’ll also hear about Aurum’s investment in training and collaboration through the Hyo Maier Centre for Dental Excellence and hands-on “Innovation Tours” designed to strengthen digital workflows between practices and technicians.

Send us Fan MailJoined by Josh DeVries (CEO & Co-Founder, Intiveo) to unpack why “patient engagement” has become commoditized—and why the real win in 2026 is designing the full patient experience: acquisition, engagement/loyalty, and appointment completion. We break down the execution gap inside practices, how to spot bottlenecks that quietly kill production, why Josh’s concept of “micro-agreements” reduces friction, and what it really takes to get patients to show up prepared (hint: it’s more touchpoints than you think). We also get practical on what Intiveo is built for—automating, tailoring, and reporting on key points in the patient journey, reaching patients through the channels they actually use (text/voice/email) , and even improving communication with non-patients like parents/caregivers and referring practices through Intiveo Connect—so practices can reduce no-shows, protect chair time, and deliver an experience patients can feel.Support the showThanks so much for watching and being part of the Dentist on Demand community—your support means everything.

Send us Fan MailI sat down with Elise Poirier, a digital workflow specialist who’s lived on both sides of the fence—clinical dentistry, digital systems, and now helping bridge the gap between the practice and the lab. In this conversation, Elise breaks down: • Why new tech fails when training + workflow alignment aren’t built in (hello “expensive coat hanger” 🫠)  • Why labs aren’t “a checkpoint”… they’re a true partner in predictable outcomes  • And the big one: how we can run consultations in a way that builds trust, simplifies options, and creates a clear next step (instead of overwhelming patients with dental-speak). Also… we had to talk about the Ocean team dynamic—different strengths coming together like a full-on Megazord. 🌊⚡️ If you’re building a more predictable digital workflow (or trying to tighten up patient communication), this one will hit. #Episode159 #DentalPodcast #DigitalDentistry #DentalWorkflow #CADCAMSupport the showThanks so much for watching and being part of the Dentist on Demand community—your support means everything.

DentalBytes ep. 153 "Wayne Rees: Saving Lives with VELscope"
Send us Fan MailIn this powerful and purpose-driven episode, host Marc Wagner welcomes Wayne Rees, a long-time innovator in dental imaging and the driving force behind the VELscope oral cancer screening system. With over 35,000 units in operation globally, VELscope is transforming how dental practices detect early signs of oral cancer, dysplasia, bacterial load, periodontal disease, and even signs of sleep apnea—using a safe, blue light fluorescence system.Wayne shares how his journey began over 35 years ago in imaging technology, leading to his current mission: helping clinicians catch disease early and save lives. From partnering with the BC Cancer Agency to collaborating with specialists like Dr. Samson Ng and Dr. Edmund Truelove, Wayne and his team have developed a next-generation VELscope featuring surgical white light, polarized light for clearer images, and seamless integration with mobile devices and second-opinion platforms like OralMedicine.com.🔍 Key Topics Covered:VELscope’s clinical evolution and why it’s more than just a cancer detector—it’s a visual guide to better diagnosis.How the blue light fluorescence works by identifying non-fluorescent (dark) areas that may signal pathology.Why annual oral cancer screening (or more for high-risk patients) is vital—and how most practices are still falling short.The growing role of HPV (types 16 & 18) in oral cancer and how rising case numbers (60,000/year in North America) demand proactive care.New use cases: VELscope for margin delineation during tumor removal surgery, confirmed by BC Cancer’s five-year, double-blinded study.Real-world success stories where VELscope literally helped save lives—including cases where seasoned dentists discovered oral cancer in their patients for the first time.The push toward AI-powered diagnostics, with collaborative efforts underway with University of Washington and BC Cancer Agency.Support the showThanks so much for watching and being part of the Dentist on Demand community—your support means everything.

Same.In a world obsessed with optimization, perfection, and productivity, sometimes the most rebellious thing you can do is… absolutely nothing. Or better yet—feel something.Here’s the truth:✨ Some days, you’re not supposed to “crush it.”✨ Some days, the win is brushing your teeth and sending one email.✨ Some days, the only thing getting you through is a walk, a meme, or yelling “I’m fine!” into the void (with questionable conviction).And you know what?

DentalBytes ep. 120 "Patient Relationship Management" Dr. Dennis Marangos
Send us Fan MailIn the latest episode of DentalBytes, host Marc T. Wagner sits down with veteran dentist Dr. Dennis Marangos to delve into the essential strategies for practice growth. This insightful discussion covers the critical importance of understanding your practice's numbers and building robust systems to support sustainable growth.Dr. Marangos emphasizes that a solo dental practice can thrive with a patient base of 1,500, provided these patients receive exceptional care. But what does exceptional care entail? It means truly understanding each patient and becoming a partner in their oral health journey. This requires maintaining detailed records to cater to the unique needs and characteristics of each individual, as dentistry is far from a "one size fits all" profession.Effective patient relationship management also involves recognizing the diverse communication styles of patients and tailoring interactions accordingly. While acquiring new patients is crucial, it only contributes to about 10% of practice growth. The real growth lies in expanding your scope of practice through continued education, embracing the latest technology, and incorporating innovative tools both in the front office and the operatory.Dr. Marangos also highlights the importance of investing in the knowledge and skills of both yourself and your team. A well-trained and happy team is key to retaining long-term patients and ensuring their satisfaction.
