And re Plus. Good morning to you.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
You're listening to as the expert WCHS the Voice of Charleston.
I'm Del Cooper. Thanks so much for tuning in. It
is a Wednesday morning here in or a Tuesday morning.
Tuesday morning here in the capital city of West Virginia.
You are listening to as the expert, and I'd like
to welcome into the studios.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Welcome back to the studios.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Today we have doctor Stephen and doctor Carson from GREEB
Dental Group. Doctor Stephen, good morning, how you doing this morning.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm doing great. How about yourself, Dale, I'm doing very well.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
And doctor Carson Henley is here as well from the
Kanall City location. How are you doing this morning, Doctor Carson.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
We're having everybody who listens to the stations, of course,
have heard the hosts and the guests and everybody talk
about our new studios.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
The temporary new studio.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
That we're in for the Expert Show unfortunately only has
one mic for the guests to share, and I'm making
Doctor Stephen and doctor Carson do that.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
It's fine. We're very close. We're just like best friends,
so this is just making us closer.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
We've done it before in the worst studio, so I
guess it's okay to do it in the nice way.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
I kind of feel like a like what's.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
A I don't know, like.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A singing duete or something?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, right, like you like you're back and forth on
the on the mic, like John and Paul on the
mic doing toys.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Who's the Osmin's there? You go? That's a pool.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Hey, if you have questions about your dental hygiene this morning,
about any problem you might have with your mouth, your teeth,
or maybe that of a lowd wing and give us
a call three zero four three four five fifteen fifty
eight three four five fifty eight fifty. You can also
text us over any questions. If you would like three
or four three five five zero zero eight. You can
find out more about the greed Dental Group one line
g h A R E B GREEB Dentalgroup dot com.
Their phone number is one eight hundred Great Care one
(02:08):
eight hundred Great Care. We'll get that information out to
you a little bit more as the show goes along. Today.
I have a lot of things that we can talk
about today. You can control the conversation, Like I said,
you can call three zero four three four five fifty
eight fifty or you can text three zero four non
three five five zero zero eight. But we're going to
talk a little bit, and I love these shows to
be honest with you, We're going to talk a little
bit about technology this morning. When it comes to the
(02:29):
dentistry industry, dental industry, whatever you would like to call it,
the profession, the medical profession, and technology is always one
of the fun things to talk about. So we're going
to talk about some of those things this morning and
how those things are helping out your practice. And just
to remind folks, that's one of the nice things about
GREEB Dental Group and the coalition of all of your practices.
You're always have your head up for continuing education and
(02:52):
for cutting edge technologies and things like that, which really
helps you give at least from a perspective standpoint, really
gives you a heads up on what's coming and what
you be able to use to help patients.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Yeah, for sure, And that's something that dentistry has always
been an ever changing field. You know, we think, how
much different can it be working on teeth, you know,
but man, it changes so fast, so quickly, and we
have some of us in the industry that are like
the techies that are always trying out the new things,
and we try to stay on that leading edge to
(03:26):
be able to use technology to the best ability that
we can for our patients. For sure, when it makes sense.
Then there are some technologies that it takes a while,
like you can see the potential of them in dentistry
and say, well, you know, it's not quite there yet.
Let's see where this really goes, and we might kind
of dip a toe in the water one way or
the other. And the technologies are going to talk about today,
(03:49):
it's definitely taken that path. Initially they were used in
other industries, but now we're able to take the and
hone them better for dentistry, and it's turned out to
be really quite quite an improvement for a patient care.
(04:09):
Now that now the technology is kind of caught up
with where we want it to be, and what we're
talking about specifically are the what do we call that,
the the advent of three dimensional three D printing as
well as milling within the within the office. And it's
also coupled with what we've talked about in the past
with scanning, taking new scans, digital scans of patient's mouths,
(04:33):
so we get away from all this impression material and
and kind of the old way of doing things. So
now we're moving on to kind of the the digital
form of dentistry, which is really really quite fascinating.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think it's really it is fascinating. I think it's
really interesting and I love I've always been somebody that's
sort of followed, like to follow technology and and breaking
news and science and things along those lines. And it's
always interesting to see when things are put together three
D printing, for example, what or it might be. People
they start talking about it and they start huge like
what do we we can print houses, we can do cars,
(05:05):
Oh my gosh, all these different things we can do,
but the real practical use for these things actually comes
down to exactly what you're doing with your profession. Are
the things that help individuals on an individual level. I mean,
once you dove down the technology and you use it
enough for these huge things, the technology gets refined, it
gets cheaper to do and more cost effective to do,
and then suddenly that that point where it becomes accessible,
there's no barriers and it makes sense for patients, and
(05:28):
then the technology is more mature and it really can
help out quite a bit these things. We've seen this
happen with all kinds of technology and mental interesting things.
I mean from Velcrow to any number of things that
NASA had invented that gets used in everyday life. This
is how things work. I mean, that's how science works
and how medicine works.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
As Dale speaks, I'm looking at his screen that has
AI up.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
So it is blak, it is plain, but yeah, he's yeah,
definitely on the cutting edge of that.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I actually just saw a news article about I think
it was a some researchers of MIT that are three
D printing.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Pieces of bridge.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
If a bridge starts to fail and there's a piece
of that bridge that's not doing well and it's about
to fall apart. Well, they'll three D print that metal,
which is really neat beyond of what we do with
three D printing, but just that they three D print
the metal and actually insert it into that bridge to
actually repair replace or they repair instead of having to
replace the entire bridge. Very neat application. But I think, yes,
(06:29):
what you did say about three D printing homes, three
D printing cars, all the stuff. I think that's the
bigger goal. But what we do with it is really
neat because we apply things that we could not do
in a day or could not do within an hour,
that now we can. We can actually I can scan
a patient and we can fabricate dentuers. Now this is
(06:50):
everything goes right because I think doctor step and I knows,
nothing's ever perfect in the mouth. There's things that go wrong,
you know, the scan might be corrupted, all sorts of
things can go wrong. But if things go well, we
can have a denture fabricated within an hour hour and
a half. We can have a crown milled or fabricated
within one of our labs within two hours. I mean,
we have these these methodologies that are made simpler and
(07:13):
easier and more cost effective, which which is better for
the patient in the long run, in our labs, in
our in house or in our dental offices. And so
I think three D printing it's just one of those
cool things that it was a buzzword a few years ago.
Now AI is the buzzword. But we're actually applying three
D printing and I think it's really neat what AI
(07:34):
might be coming out here soon. I don't want to
jump off base just yet, but not just three D printing.
I just bought a mill as well. You do you
have a mill?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
So this, yeah you've had. I used to work in
your office. Of course you have a mill. I don't
know why I said that, but we just bought a mill.
I'm behind the times, doctor Steven' sorry. But then as
you finally catch enough. But this mill can can actually
create from a block of zirconia. If you know that
that material from the fake diamonds. Yeah, same thing.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
And so that's a good portion of the crowns. Now
we're made from that called zirconia, which is actually metal,
but we pump in some yutria, which is another element
that makes it white, so it's a tooth colored crown,
but it is very hard, very metal like in its
stiffness and hardness, which is great for the mouth. I
can fabricate that within twenty five to thirty minutes, so
(08:28):
instead of having to bring a patient back for a
second day to place that crown, we can do that
same day and it's gonna blow people's socks off. I
cannot wait to get this implemented. Because we just installed
the mill. We have to go through literally an eight
hour day of training to get us up to speed,
and so we're not there yet when it comes to
(08:49):
actually an action, but I can't wait to show off
my new toys.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Is this going to be then?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Is this going to wholly replace the system that you
previously had? So is this going forward? Is this how
you're going to do like anything that you need molded
or anything like that. Is it gonna be three D
printed or are you going to have multiple options open
to you? Or how are you how are you addressing
that as far as the transition to the technology goes well?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
To give you I answer that by giving you an example. Ye,
what we've found to work kind of the best is
to use this this new tool as a as another
tool in the tool belt. And for instance, I had
a patient yesterday and she we were telling her, you know,
the traditionally what we'll do is we'll prepare this tooth
for a crown. We'll come back and bring you back
(09:37):
in a couple of weeks maybe and put that crown
in place. And then she said, oh, you know what,
I'm actually leaving town, you know, pretty soon. And I said, well,
no problem, how about we just put it in in
two hours. And she's like, oh, okay, well that sounds
really good. So it it creates a little more of
a workflow issue, and sometimes it's not that advantageous to
(09:58):
do it, but it's great to have it there when
you say, you know, we can make this happen if
we need to.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
In a sense.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
And now what doctor Henley's talking about his it's again
an increase and improvement in technology that's making it a
little bit quicker, a little more efficient. That's where I'm
really excited to see if this new piece of equipment
that he's purchased is going to cut down that turnaround
time a little bit more so you can actually implement
(10:25):
on a more regular basis. In the office, and that's
where we're you know, we're staying on the edge to
see how far we can implement these things as best
as possible for our patient. So it's not an always
or anever type of thing.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
But there are limitations the crowns that we have from
certain labs. They have a million dollar machine. Our machine
is not a million dollars, and so there are limitations.
I think our micron level is thirty five microns, which
is tiny. It's thirty five thousandth of a millimeter, so
(11:00):
you can't even it's like less than a width of
a hair, so that the tolranches are tiny. But the
million dollar machine is even smaller. And so if there's
any issues when it comes to prepping a crown that's
underneath the gum level. I'm getting into the weeds, I know,
but I always do. There are certain limitations to this
technology that we still need to have labs, so there's
there's that time and place for the new technology, but
(11:21):
we still have the old technology. I love how we
were calling the old technology sitting off to a lab
instead of doing it, which is crazy to me that
new technology is doing everything in house. But I think
it comes to our expertise and our level of knowledge
in those ce hours that we do in the in
the in the commitment to providing the best patient care
we can has has just created this this place, this
(11:44):
this drive in our offices just to do what's right
for the patient. So I think that's really neat.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I think that I that I maybe got the card
ahead of the horse just a little bit. Let's let's
make sure that our listeners are savvy on exactly what
procedures we're talking about here, what what can what what
options where we can use these here? Because I wanted
to jump right into how cool it is, let's talk
about what it is that it's helping, replacing or making
better in some way, shape or form. And are there
(12:09):
people that have had experiences in the recent past where
this technology wasn't available that maybe they could look into
either having it redone or now maybe it's an the
opportunity where they can have something done that wasn't available
to them before, whatever it might be.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
So let's keep it quite simple in the sense that
we're talking about treating. Let's say you have one tooth
that has a very large filling in it that's broken
on you or a large crack in a tooth or
a chip in a tooth. Well, traditionally, then what we
need to do is strengthen it by putting a dental
crown on the tooth. And what that means is we
(12:42):
are reshaping the tooth and making an impression of some sort,
making a model of that smaller tooth to have the laboratory,
than make a crown that goes over top of it.
Some people call them caps. They cover the whole tooth
three hundred and sixty degrees and we glue that to
the tooth and then it it does restore the total
form of the tooth, where everything that was missing is
(13:05):
now replaced and it's all one piece of material that's
stronger and glued to the tooth. Basically, so that process
in and of itself is quite common in dentistry, and
traditionally what we've had to do is take a and
many offices still do this and there's nothing wrong with it,
(13:27):
but it's been now a number of years where in
our offices we would have to take an impression with
some of the gup basically impressure material, right, yeah, and
so and and still, as doctor Henley said, I used
some of that yesterday. You know, at the right situation
you had to Yeah, I got to do it sometimes.
But generally now what we can do instead of using
(13:49):
that impression material is use our scanning, our our intra
oral scanner. It's a it's a small camera that goes
in the mouth, takes thousands of pictures per second around
that tooth that we have now prepared for a crown,
and then that digital file, that digital information goes to
(14:10):
a laboratory that then has one of these larger milling
units that doctor Henley was talking about, or they can
three dimensionally print the model and make a crown on
that printed model one way or the other. And so
what we're talking about doing is taking all of those
laboratory steps and moving them into our office and not
(14:31):
having to send them back and forth quite as much.
And especially for a simple one twoth situation where we're
putting making a crown. That's something that now has come
to fruition that we can do more predictably in the
office with the materials that we like, and make it
more efficient for the patient.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That has to be I imagine from the patient standpoint,
and I know the education pieces that you do for
a patient. When you are talking to a patient and
you're going over options and stuff with them. Since I've
been a patient, I know that. I just know from
experience having options that are ahead of you and having
that level of detail relates to you. I mean it's
a confidence factor. I mean it allows you to, for
(15:09):
one thing, if you have choices, it's nice to have them,
but also to know the technology behind things and to
have sort of that case built for you as you're
being told about whatever the procedure might be. It just
helps as a patient to know exactly what's going into
it and at what level you're at as far as
the technological accomplishment, I guess.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Is yeah, sure.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
And you say, does this open doors for some patients
that maybe have been waiting for something? And it does
because I've had patients in the past say, you know,
if if we can't do this quickly, then it's just
not going to work for my schedule.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You know.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
We know people are busy and it's hard to get
too from work and then to come back two weeks
later sometimes isn't that convenient? So this does you open
up new doors for some patients? And then also as
doctor Henley was saying there are limitations we're talking about
in this situation. A simple single tooth crown issue is
(16:00):
generally something that we can do this this fashion.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
But if we're working on multiple.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Teeth, if we're doing very highly cosmetic work, you know,
things that we need to really work with our laboratory
technician on, we need to take our time doing to
get just right as far as maybe aesthetics go, or
multiple you know, multiple pieces to the puzzle, then that's
something we need a little more skilled help with and
(16:24):
maybe not be a candidate for this type of a treatment,
but regularly what we call kind of bread and butter
work that happens all the time, this can really help
us out with.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I can really see how that could be. I mean,
for anybody that needs maybe a little quicker turnaround. They
don't have that super special situation, you know, like you say,
as a relatively standard situation. And I'm thinking we talk
all the time about you know, your your weddings and
your senior pictures and different things like that, but seriously,
along those lines, if you have a summer wedding that's
coming up, and it's like some destination wedding or something
(16:55):
like that, and you have a very narrow amount of
time to get something done, and you have something in
your mouth you need to have repaired that might be
the best option for you that wasn't available to you
even last year.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
And that happens so often in the summer in particular,
and that's where we're starting to feel that patient's coming, like, oh,
I'm leaving Saturday, you know, Okay, Well, let's see if
we can make something happen. And many times we can.
Sometimes we try to do it, and it may may
not work out exactly, but we try to accommodate them
when we can.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
We were talking before the show, how this I'm kind
of in my run of birthdays between family and all
of my daughter's friends and different things along those lines.
I can imagine somebody being so behind trying to keep
up with all of these things. Suddenly their own personal schedule,
they're like, oh man, I needed to have you know, whatever,
this is done, and suddenly there's just no time to
do anything. I mean, things like that. Well, and that's
(17:42):
how I mean. It's really what it means to have
so many tools in the toolbox. You can really find
the situation and the tool that matches up to someone,
So if you have to meet them at their schedule,
to some degree, you have that option at least for them.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
And that's that's what we love, that flexibility that this
gives us in our offices. And what's also on, Doctor
Henlin and I were talking about how each office kind
of pushes the other, you know, to say, hey, I'm
trying this out, you know, but it's also good to say,
you know what, you you bitea test that for see
how God, if it's gonna work really well, then we'll
then we'll make the switch. But you know, so it
(18:16):
goes back reminds me of our CT scanner we've talked
about before, our three three dimensional scanner. Mine is now
like fourteen years old.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
It is so old, get a new one, but.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
It still works and does what it does everything I.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Need and like yours just looks fancier and like I
get the same information, but I had it first, and
everybody's like, okay, let's see how that goes. And now
we have those in almost all of the offices, which
is great and it's and it's fun to be able
to jab at each other a little bit with that.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
In a real truth and a real, truthfully revelation of
that having so many different offices and sort of having
labs in each office. I mean, you really can you know, uh,
Mitry is testing something in cross Lanes that the rest
of us aren't using. Hey it works really well, maybe
we can adapted or you know, it wasn't exactly what
I thought, so we don't.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Have as wide application of it.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I mean, it really gives you the opportunity to hone
in on the tools that's going to work in your
tool belt. And each each dentist might be individual as
far as that goes, too, so it really gives you
that opportunity to to make your practice exactly what's going
to be best served for your for your patients.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Yep, for sure, that's something that we really, uh really
love being in our group with with that element. And
also you know, say, hey, I don't have this ability
right now, but you know, let's let's send them to
can All said you see if doctor Henley can get
that done for us, you know we can always share
share patients and and share that benefit uh to each
one of them that way too.

Chapel and the WCHS Network Traffic Studio.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You're listening to ask the expert w SHS the Voice
of Charleston. I'm Deel Cooper. Thanks for tuning in on
this Tuesday morning. And I say afternoon because it's going
to be hot. It's already hot today and it's going
to be with the heat morning that we have out there,
It's going to be hot today. With heat indexes over
one hundred and so if you're going to be outside,
you need to get plenty of paudration, or even if
(23:58):
you're inside, because I know I was yesterday even though
without working outside.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Do you know where there's some really nice ac.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, there we go.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Just let that Betty know, come on in, cool down,
you get your teeth, take a care of you, chill
out just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It'll be all right, you know.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
And we actually, me and my family just flew back
from Texas. It's cooler in Texas right now. Everyone knows.
I don't know what's going on right now. It is
so hot. I can't handle it.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You make all your dreams come true. You can get
a root canal and cool down at the same time.
Right Who wants to be out in this heat?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Who wants to be out in this heat?
Speaker 4 (24:30):
When you can sit in a nice comfortable chair watch
TV above you because you have like TV's in the ceiling,
and get a nice little root canal when it's nice
and cool inside, you know you do.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
And some water. We actually have water in fridges now.
Oh we used to get the members mark the Sam's
Club water. Now guess what water we have. We have
Fiji water what people call it bougie water. I'm telling
you we're just I mean, doctor Stephen raising the game.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
That's not bad Bud and just as a as an assa.
We're talking about technology. And one of the first things
that doctor Steve and I talked about when we were
doing the show because I got a root canal from
Grieve Dental Group. What you might remember from from decades ago,
as far as like the whole root canal thing, it's
not that it may be is the most pleasant experience
(25:18):
in the world, but it's really not the thing that
it used to be. I've had two of them now
and they're really in and out mild discomfort of any
at all. Really, it's just time more than anything else.
It is it is, and that's.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Something that we tried to I mean, in the past,
root canals were done for the most part on emergency
situations and it's you're dealing with a very irritable tooth,
and that's where the reputation comes from root canals that
you know, oh, they're so painful and tough to go through,
but thankfully now we've found.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Ways to ease that for the patient.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
You know, quite a bit, and we have different medications
we can use to settle things down so when it
is time to do the root canal, it is hopefully painless.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
So that's the idea.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I did literally have I've told it before, but I
did literally have a a tooth that was so infected
and was causing me so much pain. I had to
hold water in my mouth to sleep. There was like
an exposed route, it was just floating around. It was terrible.
It was really bad. Mitri did exactly what you said.
He got the pain under control, first saw me the
next day, and then did the root canal when the
pain or maybe two days or whatever it was, but
(26:18):
when the pain had subsided and it wasn't that bad
to work with and it really wasn't that bad to
get taken care of it. I was shocked because that
was my first one. And it was like, man, I'd
heard all these things about like you would rather do
anything than have this done, and frankly, while not necessarily pleasant,
I've certainly done much worse and had to tolerate much worse.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
And you know, you think about going back to going
back to frontier times when there weren't many anesthetics available
besides Jack Daniels.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, right, just take your liquor.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
That's that reputation kind of has followed for years, but
we're getting over it.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
And frankly, when you watch old movies and stuff like
that and they deal with dentists at all, I'm thinking
of that old show Deadwood. I think there was actually
like a dentist in that show, and it was always
like something bloody, and.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You know, it's always just terrible.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
You're right, you're watching that grown up You're like, man,
I'm never having anything done to my teeth because you're
watching this show that was made in the Old West.
And I have to say, uh too that the Roucal
the Mitry did for me and the one that you
did for me. Even between then, the process got better,
you know, it got it got simplified and easier. I mean,
it's it's really amazing. If that's something that maybe you've
(27:24):
been delaying out there, or something you've been putting off,
or you have that little that little twins, you know
that you've got a problem, it's getting ready to don't
put it off. It's really not that big of a
deal anymore.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
That's again I've mentioned that before. The we call the uh,
the pain cycle in dentistry is that you delay until
things are so painful you can't delay any further. Then
to treat that is quite painful, you know, because it's
very irritable at that time, and then you delay anything
else a little bit further because of that experience. So
you want to get on it before it gets too unmanageable,
(27:55):
you know. And that makes things a lot easier for everybody.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
So, UH, we're talking a little bit about some of
them urging technology. We've talked about three D printing when
it comes to helping with UH with different things that
could be molded for your for your mouth. Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Did we get to full dentures? Does it does three
D printing Uh influence that as well? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And that's something I want to have doctor Henley talk
about because he's he's really honed in on it and
UH and we're very excited about it because it does
open up a lot of doors for us if we
can really get this thing, you know, nailed down with
just what we're we're working hard on doing.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
What are some of the advantages of it over what's
what's coming.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
So let's let's let's go through the old way of
making a dentu.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I think first excellent.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
So you you go into you'd go into a dentist,
you'd have an impression made, and impression is literally a
negative of the existing teeth. It's that goofy stuff that
you have to put in your mouth, and then from
that you have a negative of your teeth. And then
you pour up or you flow in some stone into
that negative, that scaffold that forms into a model of
(28:59):
your teeth or a model of your lack of teeth
rather the gum tissue. And from that, the lab fabricates
some materials on top of that, and then there's some
try in processes. So there's multiple appointments to see how
accurate you can get your gummy tissue to having a denture,
(29:20):
which is literally faked teeth, false teeth made of medical
grade plastic called acrylic, and it just takes multiple visits. Well,
now what we can do is we skip most of
that pretty much, and in my office, specifically in doctor
Student's office, in doctor miss Doctrmtcher's office, all our offices
actually do this where we do a digital scan of
(29:41):
the gummy tissue and that allows us to be in
my opinion, more accurate because the old goopy impressions were accurate.
They are very accurate. But if there's any moisture difference
from when you take it to whenever you pour up
the models, the models can actually absorb some moisture and
shrink or get bigger based on the amount of humidity
in the air. We were talking about community, right, But the
(30:02):
a digital scan it cannot change once it's in ones
and zeros, or it's in it's in binary right. When
when it's all digital, it's not going to change. And
so from that scan we send it to our lab
and our lab can fabricate using some AI technology and
using some other methodologies to literally on a computer screen
(30:23):
design and develop a denture. Now they don't just use
the medical grade acrylic, which is what the old style
denture has made. They actually three D print our denture.
And what they do is they three D print the
pink part that looks like the gum tissue, and then
they three D print three separate pieces of teeth, the
(30:43):
back right teeth, the posterior, the six front teeth called
these the aesthetic zone, and then the back left or
the so two back pieces of teeth and then one
front part and then they use a special glue that
literally seals the teeth to that new three D printed
acrylic and it cannot come apart. It's actually stronger than
the teeth themselves, and because of how strong it is,
(31:05):
because of the materials that are used. I've seen the
lab that we use up in Ohio. He has thrown
it on the ground and driven over it with his
truck and it did not break. The other the old
style broke instantly. It was just shattered right. And so
a lot of these patients that I see come in
they say, oh, I just dropped it. My denture broke.
I dropped it into the sink and it was only
(31:28):
like a foot off the sink. Well, that can happen
because the acrylic, it's very strong, but it can become
brittle over time with age. This new three D printed
the three D printed dentures rather, they are not we're
not seeing that. We're not seeing that fracture risk. Now,
can it break, yes, so don't take a hammer to it.
But we're just seeing that it's ends up being a
(31:48):
little bit stronger. So the old style with the goopy mess,
we no longer have to do. I rarely have to
do that, and it allows us to make number one
stronger dentures, number two more acrid dentures, and number three
happier patients. So I think in the long run, it's
it's pretty neat what we can do with our three
D printed technologies.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I listened to this and it truly sounds like science fiction.
I mean, uh that that that. I mean, it's like Pcard.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
It is.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
It's like Picard wander to the replicant and be like
computer ventures, you know, and and and it just like
printing out ventures. I mean it's it feels very much
like that. And maybe it's just because I'm a nerd
and and uh and I like the trecky stuff. But
but uh, but it's really something else to think, you know.
I love talking about the nerdy aspects of the of
the technology, but exactly what it means for a patient,
(32:38):
it's pretty amazing. I mean exactly the uh, the amount
of care that you can give to someone, and you
talk about making it more accurate and stuff like that.
I've never had dentures, but I have to imagine that
one of the issues with fit and different things like
that is you talk about like you know, small little
uh things the size of a hair in your mouth.
You can feel those things, I'm sure you know, like
every little edge, every little thing that doesn't really feel right.
(33:00):
I mean, you work at it, it becomes like I know,
like from problems I've had in my mouth before. Sometimes
you just keep on working at it and it becomes
like almost like a like a tick, you know. And
if you have dentris that don't fit right or something like,
it becomes like a little tick you're running your tongue
constantly over like the little edge that you feel there
or something like that. It's not that they don't work,
it's just like little things like that. It's not even
can you call it quality of life maybe, but it's
(33:22):
just annoyances, you know. And if you reduce enough of
those annoyances, even if there's something along those lines, then
it really does and increase the patient. I guess it
is quality of life, but it increases that quite a
bit for sure.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
And that's something worth noting is that all of no
matter all of this technology and advancements in technology that
we're talking about, there is still you're still dealing with
the one of the most sensitive areas of our bodies
is our mouth. The mucosa in there is very you know,
very sensitive to touch, and your tongue has taste involved
(33:56):
with it. Your teeth have pain involved with them, sensitivity
to hot and cold. So it's a very sensitive area.
And no matter what we put in there, we've got
to adjust it to the patient's liking. And it takes
time to get used to things with especially adventures that
we're talking about in particular that there. And I tell
patients just just a couple of days ago, patient came
(34:17):
in and OK, hey, things are fitting pretty well, but
this bite isn't quite right. You know all this, and
so you know, hey, we'll adjust the bite today. By
tonight it'll be different because your jaw is going to
adjust to that. We're going to need to bring you
back every couple of days for the next week or two.
And so for some patients you just have to do
that to get it calibrated, adjust right to the patient.
But you don't want to go overboard, you know. So
(34:38):
it's it's like a haircut that doesn't grow back right
to cut it away and no way for it to
grow back, So we got to take it, take it
you know, slowly, and it's step at a time, so
it's not Unfortunately it isn't a you know, set one
and done type of thing many times. But that's something
that we also pride ourselves in as getting things right
for the patient.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
And you don't want it to be one or done,
and if somebody tells you it is, it means they're
probably not doing right. So I mean, that's it's a
good thing to have somebody that's looking out for you
and tells you, hey, we got to do this again.
We have to do this again. In the long run,
it's going to pay out because we're going to get
tuned to the point where you're going to be comfortable
and it's not going to cause those same those same
annoyances or whatever it is it's causing for you. So
you want somebody to take that level of care with you.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
That's what we try to do.
Speaker 4 (35:18):

Yeah, right, like you like you're back and forth on
the on the mic, like John and Paul on the
mic doing toys.

I have a lot of things that we can talk
about today. You can control the conversation, Like I said,
you can call three zero four three four five fifty
eight fifty or you can text three zero four non
three five five zero zero eight. But we're going to
talk a little bit, and I love these shows to
be honest with you, We're going to talk a little
bit about technology this morning. When it comes to the
(02:29):
dentistry industry, dental industry, whatever you would like to call it,
the profession, the medical profession, and technology is always one
of the fun things to talk about. So we're going
to talk about some of those things this morning and
how those things are helping out your practice. And just
to remind folks, that's one of the nice things about
GREEB Dental Group and the coalition of all of your practices.
You're always have your head up for continuing education and
(02:52):
for cutting edge technologies and things like that, which really
helps you give at least from a perspective standpoint, really
gives you a heads up on what's coming and what
you be able to use to help patients.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
Yeah, for sure, And that's something that dentistry has always
been an ever changing field. You know, we think, how
much different can it be working on teeth, you know,
but man, it changes so fast, so quickly, and we
have some of us in the industry that are like
the techies that are always trying out the new things,
and we try to stay on that leading edge to
(03:26):
be able to use technology to the best ability that
we can for our patients. For sure, when it makes sense.
Then there are some technologies that it takes a while,
like you can see the potential of them in dentistry
and say, well, you know, it's not quite there yet.
Let's see where this really goes, and we might kind
of dip a toe in the water one way or
the other. And the technologies are going to talk about today,
(03:49):
it's definitely taken that path. Initially they were used in
other industries, but now we're able to take the and
hone them better for dentistry, and it's turned out to
be really quite quite an improvement for a patient care.
(04:09):
Now that now the technology is kind of caught up
with where we want it to be, and what we're
talking about specifically are the what do we call that,
the the advent of three dimensional three D printing as
well as milling within the within the office. And it's
also coupled with what we've talked about in the past
with scanning, taking new scans, digital scans of patient's mouths,
(04:33):
so we get away from all this impression material and
and kind of the old way of doing things. So
now we're moving on to kind of the the digital
form of dentistry, which is really really quite fascinating.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I think it's really it is fascinating. I think it's
really interesting and I love I've always been somebody that's
sort of followed, like to follow technology and and breaking
news and science and things along those lines. And it's
always interesting to see when things are put together three
D printing, for example, what or it might be. People
they start talking about it and they start huge like
what do we we can print houses, we can do cars,
(05:05):
Oh my gosh, all these different things we can do,
but the real practical use for these things actually comes
down to exactly what you're doing with your profession. Are
the things that help individuals on an individual level. I mean,
once you dove down the technology and you use it
enough for these huge things, the technology gets refined, it
gets cheaper to do and more cost effective to do,
and then suddenly that that point where it becomes accessible,
there's no barriers and it makes sense for patients, and
(05:28):
then the technology is more mature and it really can
help out quite a bit these things. We've seen this
happen with all kinds of technology and mental interesting things.
I mean from Velcrow to any number of things that
NASA had invented that gets used in everyday life. This
is how things work. I mean, that's how science works
and how medicine works.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
As Dale speaks, I'm looking at his screen that has
AI up.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
So it is blak, it is plain, but yeah, he's yeah,
definitely on the cutting edge of that.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I actually just saw a news article about I think
it was a some researchers of MIT that are three
D printing.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Pieces of bridge.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
If a bridge starts to fail and there's a piece
of that bridge that's not doing well and it's about
to fall apart. Well, they'll three D print that metal,
which is really neat beyond of what we do with
three D printing, but just that they three D print
the metal and actually insert it into that bridge to
actually repair replace or they repair instead of having to
replace the entire bridge. Very neat application. But I think, yes,
(06:29):
what you did say about three D printing homes, three
D printing cars, all the stuff. I think that's the
bigger goal. But what we do with it is really
neat because we apply things that we could not do
in a day or could not do within an hour,
that now we can. We can actually I can scan
a patient and we can fabricate dentuers. Now this is
(06:50):
everything goes right because I think doctor step and I knows,
nothing's ever perfect in the mouth. There's things that go wrong,
you know, the scan might be corrupted, all sorts of
things can go wrong. But if things go well, we
can have a denture fabricated within an hour hour and
a half. We can have a crown milled or fabricated
within one of our labs within two hours. I mean,
we have these these methodologies that are made simpler and
(07:13):
easier and more cost effective, which which is better for
the patient in the long run, in our labs, in
our in house or in our dental offices. And so
I think three D printing it's just one of those
cool things that it was a buzzword a few years ago.
Now AI is the buzzword. But we're actually applying three
D printing and I think it's really neat what AI
(07:34):
might be coming out here soon. I don't want to
jump off base just yet, but not just three D printing.
I just bought a mill as well. You do you
have a mill?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
So this, yeah you've had. I used to work in
your office. Of course you have a mill. I don't
know why I said that, but we just bought a mill.
I'm behind the times, doctor Steven' sorry. But then as
you finally catch enough. But this mill can can actually
create from a block of zirconia. If you know that
that material from the fake diamonds. Yeah, same thing.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
And so that's a good portion of the crowns. Now
we're made from that called zirconia, which is actually metal,
but we pump in some yutria, which is another element
that makes it white, so it's a tooth colored crown,
but it is very hard, very metal like in its
stiffness and hardness, which is great for the mouth. I
can fabricate that within twenty five to thirty minutes, so
(08:28):
instead of having to bring a patient back for a
second day to place that crown, we can do that
same day and it's gonna blow people's socks off. I
cannot wait to get this implemented. Because we just installed
the mill. We have to go through literally an eight
hour day of training to get us up to speed,
and so we're not there yet when it comes to
(08:49):
actually an action, but I can't wait to show off
my new toys.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Is this going to be then?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Is this going to wholly replace the system that you
previously had? So is this going forward? Is this how
you're going to do like anything that you need molded
or anything like that. Is it gonna be three D
printed or are you going to have multiple options open
to you? Or how are you how are you addressing
that as far as the transition to the technology goes well?
Speaker 6 (09:14):
To give you I answer that by giving you an example. Ye,
what we've found to work kind of the best is
to use this this new tool as a as another
tool in the tool belt. And for instance, I had
a patient yesterday and she we were telling her, you know,
the traditionally what we'll do is we'll prepare this tooth
for a crown. We'll come back and bring you back
(09:37):
in a couple of weeks maybe and put that crown
in place. And then she said, oh, you know what,
I'm actually leaving town, you know, pretty soon. And I said, well,
no problem, how about we just put it in in
two hours. And she's like, oh, okay, well that sounds
really good. So it it creates a little more of
a workflow issue, and sometimes it's not that advantageous to
(09:58):
do it, but it's great to have it there when
you say, you know, we can make this happen if
we need to.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
In a sense.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
And now what doctor Henley's talking about his it's again
an increase and improvement in technology that's making it a
little bit quicker, a little more efficient. That's where I'm
really excited to see if this new piece of equipment
that he's purchased is going to cut down that turnaround
time a little bit more so you can actually implement
(10:25):
on a more regular basis. In the office, and that's
where we're you know, we're staying on the edge to
see how far we can implement these things as best
as possible for our patient. So it's not an always
or anever type of thing.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
But there are limitations the crowns that we have from
certain labs. They have a million dollar machine. Our machine
is not a million dollars, and so there are limitations.
I think our micron level is thirty five microns, which
is tiny. It's thirty five thousandth of a millimeter, so
(11:00):
you can't even it's like less than a width of
a hair, so that the tolranches are tiny. But the
million dollar machine is even smaller. And so if there's
any issues when it comes to prepping a crown that's
underneath the gum level. I'm getting into the weeds, I know,
but I always do. There are certain limitations to this
technology that we still need to have labs, so there's
there's that time and place for the new technology, but
(11:21):
we still have the old technology. I love how we
were calling the old technology sitting off to a lab
instead of doing it, which is crazy to me that
new technology is doing everything in house. But I think
it comes to our expertise and our level of knowledge
in those ce hours that we do in the in
the in the commitment to providing the best patient care
we can has has just created this this place, this
(11:44):
this drive in our offices just to do what's right
for the patient. So I think that's really neat.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I think that I that I maybe got the card
ahead of the horse just a little bit. Let's let's
make sure that our listeners are savvy on exactly what
procedures we're talking about here, what what can what what
options where we can use these here? Because I wanted
to jump right into how cool it is, let's talk
about what it is that it's helping, replacing or making
better in some way, shape or form. And are there
(12:09):
people that have had experiences in the recent past where
this technology wasn't available that maybe they could look into
either having it redone or now maybe it's an the
opportunity where they can have something done that wasn't available
to them before, whatever it might be.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
So let's keep it quite simple in the sense that
we're talking about treating. Let's say you have one tooth
that has a very large filling in it that's broken
on you or a large crack in a tooth or
a chip in a tooth. Well, traditionally, then what we
need to do is strengthen it by putting a dental
crown on the tooth. And what that means is we
(12:42):
are reshaping the tooth and making an impression of some sort,
making a model of that smaller tooth to have the laboratory,
than make a crown that goes over top of it.
Some people call them caps. They cover the whole tooth
three hundred and sixty degrees and we glue that to
the tooth and then it it does restore the total
form of the tooth, where everything that was missing is
(13:05):
now replaced and it's all one piece of material that's
stronger and glued to the tooth. Basically, so that process
in and of itself is quite common in dentistry, and
traditionally what we've had to do is take a and
many offices still do this and there's nothing wrong with it,
(13:27):
but it's been now a number of years where in
our offices we would have to take an impression with
some of the gup basically impressure material, right, yeah, and
so and and still, as doctor Henley said, I used
some of that yesterday. You know, at the right situation
you had to Yeah, I got to do it sometimes.
But generally now what we can do instead of using
(13:49):
that impression material is use our scanning, our our intra
oral scanner. It's a it's a small camera that goes
in the mouth, takes thousands of pictures per second around
that tooth that we have now prepared for a crown,
and then that digital file, that digital information goes to
(14:10):
a laboratory that then has one of these larger milling
units that doctor Henley was talking about, or they can
three dimensionally print the model and make a crown on
that printed model one way or the other. And so
what we're talking about doing is taking all of those
laboratory steps and moving them into our office and not
(14:31):
having to send them back and forth quite as much.
And especially for a simple one twoth situation where we're
putting making a crown. That's something that now has come
to fruition that we can do more predictably in the
office with the materials that we like, and make it
more efficient for the patient.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That has to be I imagine from the patient standpoint,
and I know the education pieces that you do for
a patient. When you are talking to a patient and
you're going over options and stuff with them. Since I've
been a patient, I know that. I just know from
experience having options that are ahead of you and having
that level of detail relates to you. I mean it's
a confidence factor. I mean it allows you to, for
(15:09):
one thing, if you have choices, it's nice to have them,
but also to know the technology behind things and to
have sort of that case built for you as you're
being told about whatever the procedure might be. It just
helps as a patient to know exactly what's going into
it and at what level you're at as far as
the technological accomplishment, I guess.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Is yeah, sure.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
And you say, does this open doors for some patients
that maybe have been waiting for something? And it does
because I've had patients in the past say, you know,
if if we can't do this quickly, then it's just
not going to work for my schedule.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You know.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
We know people are busy and it's hard to get
too from work and then to come back two weeks
later sometimes isn't that convenient? So this does you open
up new doors for some patients? And then also as
doctor Henley was saying there are limitations we're talking about
in this situation. A simple single tooth crown issue is
(16:00):
generally something that we can do this this fashion.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
But if we're working on multiple.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Teeth, if we're doing very highly cosmetic work, you know,
things that we need to really work with our laboratory
technician on, we need to take our time doing to
get just right as far as maybe aesthetics go, or
multiple you know, multiple pieces to the puzzle, then that's
something we need a little more skilled help with and
(16:24):
maybe not be a candidate for this type of a treatment,
but regularly what we call kind of bread and butter
work that happens all the time, this can really help
us out with.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I can really see how that could be. I mean,
for anybody that needs maybe a little quicker turnaround. They
don't have that super special situation, you know, like you say,
as a relatively standard situation. And I'm thinking we talk
all the time about you know, your your weddings and
your senior pictures and different things like that, but seriously,
along those lines, if you have a summer wedding that's
coming up, and it's like some destination wedding or something
(16:55):
like that, and you have a very narrow amount of
time to get something done, and you have something in
your mouth you need to have repaired that might be
the best option for you that wasn't available to you
even last year.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
And that happens so often in the summer in particular,
and that's where we're starting to feel that patient's coming, like, oh,
I'm leaving Saturday, you know, Okay, Well, let's see if
we can make something happen. And many times we can.
Sometimes we try to do it, and it may may
not work out exactly, but we try to accommodate them
when we can.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
We were talking before the show, how this I'm kind
of in my run of birthdays between family and all
of my daughter's friends and different things along those lines.
I can imagine somebody being so behind trying to keep
up with all of these things. Suddenly their own personal schedule,
they're like, oh man, I needed to have you know, whatever,
this is done, and suddenly there's just no time to
do anything. I mean, things like that. Well, and that's
(17:42):
how I mean. It's really what it means to have
so many tools in the toolbox. You can really find
the situation and the tool that matches up to someone,
So if you have to meet them at their schedule,
to some degree, you have that option at least for them.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
And that's that's what we love, that flexibility that this
gives us in our offices. And what's also on, Doctor
Henlin and I were talking about how each office kind
of pushes the other, you know, to say, hey, I'm
trying this out, you know, but it's also good to say,
you know what, you you bitea test that for see
how God, if it's gonna work really well, then we'll
then we'll make the switch. But you know, so it
(18:16):
goes back reminds me of our CT scanner we've talked
about before, our three three dimensional scanner. Mine is now
like fourteen years old.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
It is so old, get a new one, but.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
It still works and does what it does everything I.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Need and like yours just looks fancier and like I
get the same information, but I had it first, and
everybody's like, okay, let's see how that goes. And now
we have those in almost all of the offices, which
is great and it's and it's fun to be able
to jab at each other a little bit with that.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
In a real truth and a real, truthfully revelation of
that having so many different offices and sort of having
labs in each office. I mean, you really can you know, uh,
Mitry is testing something in cross Lanes that the rest
of us aren't using. Hey it works really well, maybe
we can adapted or you know, it wasn't exactly what
I thought, so we don't.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Have as wide application of it.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I mean, it really gives you the opportunity to hone
in on the tools that's going to work in your
tool belt. And each each dentist might be individual as
far as that goes, too, so it really gives you
that opportunity to to make your practice exactly what's going
to be best served for your for your patients.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Yep, for sure, that's something that we really, uh really
love being in our group with with that element. And
also you know, say, hey, I don't have this ability
right now, but you know, let's let's send them to
can All said you see if doctor Henley can get
that done for us, you know we can always share
share patients and and share that benefit uh to each
one of them that way too.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
You're listening to ask the expert w SHS the Voice
of Charleston. I'm Deel Cooper. Thanks for tuning in on
this Tuesday morning. And I say afternoon because it's going
to be hot. It's already hot today and it's going
to be with the heat morning that we have out there,
It's going to be hot today. With heat indexes over
one hundred and so if you're going to be outside,
you need to get plenty of paudration, or even if
(23:58):
you're inside, because I know I was yesterday even though
without working outside.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Do you know where there's some really nice ac.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, there we go.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Just let that Betty know, come on in, cool down,
you get your teeth, take a care of you, chill
out just a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
It'll be all right, you know.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
And we actually, me and my family just flew back
from Texas. It's cooler in Texas right now. Everyone knows.
I don't know what's going on right now. It is
so hot. I can't handle it.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You make all your dreams come true. You can get
a root canal and cool down at the same time.
Right Who wants to be out in this heat?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Who wants to be out in this heat?
Speaker 4 (24:30):
When you can sit in a nice comfortable chair watch
TV above you because you have like TV's in the ceiling,
and get a nice little root canal when it's nice
and cool inside, you know you do.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
And some water. We actually have water in fridges now.
Oh we used to get the members mark the Sam's
Club water. Now guess what water we have. We have
Fiji water what people call it bougie water. I'm telling
you we're just I mean, doctor Stephen raising the game.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
That's not bad Bud and just as a as an assa.
We're talking about technology. And one of the first things
that doctor Steve and I talked about when we were
doing the show because I got a root canal from
Grieve Dental Group. What you might remember from from decades ago,
as far as like the whole root canal thing, it's
not that it may be is the most pleasant experience
(25:18):
in the world, but it's really not the thing that
it used to be. I've had two of them now
and they're really in and out mild discomfort of any
at all. Really, it's just time more than anything else.
It is it is, and that's.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Something that we tried to I mean, in the past,
root canals were done for the most part on emergency
situations and it's you're dealing with a very irritable tooth,
and that's where the reputation comes from root canals that
you know, oh, they're so painful and tough to go through,
but thankfully now we've found.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Ways to ease that for the patient.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
You know, quite a bit, and we have different medications
we can use to settle things down so when it
is time to do the root canal, it is hopefully painless.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
So that's the idea.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I did literally have I've told it before, but I
did literally have a a tooth that was so infected
and was causing me so much pain. I had to
hold water in my mouth to sleep. There was like
an exposed route, it was just floating around. It was terrible.
It was really bad. Mitri did exactly what you said.
He got the pain under control, first saw me the
next day, and then did the root canal when the
pain or maybe two days or whatever it was, but
(26:18):
when the pain had subsided and it wasn't that bad
to work with and it really wasn't that bad to
get taken care of it. I was shocked because that
was my first one. And it was like, man, I'd
heard all these things about like you would rather do
anything than have this done, and frankly, while not necessarily pleasant,
I've certainly done much worse and had to tolerate much worse.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
And you know, you think about going back to going
back to frontier times when there weren't many anesthetics available
besides Jack Daniels.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, right, just take your liquor.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
That's that reputation kind of has followed for years, but
we're getting over it.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
And frankly, when you watch old movies and stuff like
that and they deal with dentists at all, I'm thinking
of that old show Deadwood. I think there was actually
like a dentist in that show, and it was always
like something bloody, and.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You know, it's always just terrible.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
You're right, you're watching that grown up You're like, man,
I'm never having anything done to my teeth because you're
watching this show that was made in the Old West.
And I have to say, uh too that the Roucal
the Mitry did for me and the one that you
did for me. Even between then, the process got better,
you know, it got it got simplified and easier. I mean,
it's it's really amazing. If that's something that maybe you've
(27:24):
been delaying out there, or something you've been putting off,
or you have that little that little twins, you know
that you've got a problem, it's getting ready to don't
put it off. It's really not that big of a
deal anymore.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
That's again I've mentioned that before. The we call the uh,
the pain cycle in dentistry is that you delay until
things are so painful you can't delay any further. Then
to treat that is quite painful, you know, because it's
very irritable at that time, and then you delay anything
else a little bit further because of that experience. So
you want to get on it before it gets too unmanageable,
(27:55):
you know. And that makes things a lot easier for everybody.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
So, UH, we're talking a little bit about some of
them urging technology. We've talked about three D printing when
it comes to helping with UH with different things that
could be molded for your for your mouth. Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Did we get to full dentures? Does it does three
D printing Uh influence that as well? Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (28:13):
And that's something I want to have doctor Henley talk
about because he's he's really honed in on it and
UH and we're very excited about it because it does
open up a lot of doors for us if we
can really get this thing, you know, nailed down with
just what we're we're working hard on doing.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
What are some of the advantages of it over what's
what's coming.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
So let's let's let's go through the old way of
making a dentu.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I think first excellent.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
So you you go into you'd go into a dentist,
you'd have an impression made, and impression is literally a
negative of the existing teeth. It's that goofy stuff that
you have to put in your mouth, and then from
that you have a negative of your teeth. And then
you pour up or you flow in some stone into
that negative, that scaffold that forms into a model of
(28:59):
your teeth or a model of your lack of teeth
rather the gum tissue. And from that, the lab fabricates
some materials on top of that, and then there's some
try in processes. So there's multiple appointments to see how
accurate you can get your gummy tissue to having a denture,
(29:20):
which is literally faked teeth, false teeth made of medical
grade plastic called acrylic, and it just takes multiple visits. Well,
now what we can do is we skip most of
that pretty much, and in my office, specifically in doctor
Student's office, in doctor miss Doctrmtcher's office, all our offices
actually do this where we do a digital scan of
(29:41):
the gummy tissue and that allows us to be in
my opinion, more accurate because the old goopy impressions were accurate.
They are very accurate. But if there's any moisture difference
from when you take it to whenever you pour up
the models, the models can actually absorb some moisture and
shrink or get bigger based on the amount of humidity
in the air. We were talking about community, right, But the
(30:02):
a digital scan it cannot change once it's in ones
and zeros, or it's in it's in binary right. When
when it's all digital, it's not going to change. And
so from that scan we send it to our lab
and our lab can fabricate using some AI technology and
using some other methodologies to literally on a computer screen
(30:23):
design and develop a denture. Now they don't just use
the medical grade acrylic, which is what the old style
denture has made. They actually three D print our denture.
And what they do is they three D print the
pink part that looks like the gum tissue, and then
they three D print three separate pieces of teeth, the
(30:43):
back right teeth, the posterior, the six front teeth called
these the aesthetic zone, and then the back left or
the so two back pieces of teeth and then one
front part and then they use a special glue that
literally seals the teeth to that new three D printed
acrylic and it cannot come apart. It's actually stronger than
the teeth themselves, and because of how strong it is,
(31:05):
because of the materials that are used. I've seen the
lab that we use up in Ohio. He has thrown
it on the ground and driven over it with his
truck and it did not break. The other the old
style broke instantly. It was just shattered right. And so
a lot of these patients that I see come in
they say, oh, I just dropped it. My denture broke.
I dropped it into the sink and it was only
(31:28):
like a foot off the sink. Well, that can happen
because the acrylic, it's very strong, but it can become
brittle over time with age. This new three D printed
the three D printed dentures rather, they are not we're
not seeing that. We're not seeing that fracture risk. Now,
can it break, yes, so don't take a hammer to it.
But we're just seeing that it's ends up being a
(31:48):
little bit stronger. So the old style with the goopy mess,
we no longer have to do. I rarely have to
do that, and it allows us to make number one
stronger dentures, number two more acrid dentures, and number three
happier patients. So I think in the long run, it's
it's pretty neat what we can do with our three
D printed technologies.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I listened to this and it truly sounds like science fiction.
I mean, uh that that that. I mean, it's like Pcard.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
It is.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
It's like Picard wander to the replicant and be like
computer ventures, you know, and and and it just like
printing out ventures. I mean it's it feels very much
like that. And maybe it's just because I'm a nerd
and and uh and I like the trecky stuff. But
but uh, but it's really something else to think, you know.
I love talking about the nerdy aspects of the of
the technology, but exactly what it means for a patient,
(32:38):
it's pretty amazing. I mean exactly the uh, the amount
of care that you can give to someone, and you
talk about making it more accurate and stuff like that.
I've never had dentures, but I have to imagine that
one of the issues with fit and different things like
that is you talk about like you know, small little
uh things the size of a hair in your mouth.
You can feel those things, I'm sure you know, like
every little edge, every little thing that doesn't really feel right.
(33:00):
I mean, you work at it, it becomes like I know,
like from problems I've had in my mouth before. Sometimes
you just keep on working at it and it becomes
like almost like a like a tick, you know. And
if you have dentris that don't fit right or something like,
it becomes like a little tick you're running your tongue
constantly over like the little edge that you feel there
or something like that. It's not that they don't work,
it's just like little things like that. It's not even
can you call it quality of life maybe, but it's
(33:22):
just annoyances, you know. And if you reduce enough of
those annoyances, even if there's something along those lines, then
it really does and increase the patient. I guess it
is quality of life, but it increases that quite a
bit for sure.
Speaker 6 (33:35):
And that's something worth noting is that all of no
matter all of this technology and advancements in technology that
we're talking about, there is still you're still dealing with
the one of the most sensitive areas of our bodies
is our mouth. The mucosa in there is very you know,
very sensitive to touch, and your tongue has taste involved
(33:56):
with it. Your teeth have pain involved with them, sensitivity
to hot and cold. So it's a very sensitive area.
And no matter what we put in there, we've got
to adjust it to the patient's liking. And it takes
time to get used to things with especially adventures that
we're talking about in particular that there. And I tell
patients just just a couple of days ago, patient came
(34:17):
in and OK, hey, things are fitting pretty well, but
this bite isn't quite right. You know all this, and
so you know, hey, we'll adjust the bite today. By
tonight it'll be different because your jaw is going to
adjust to that. We're going to need to bring you
back every couple of days for the next week or two.
And so for some patients you just have to do
that to get it calibrated, adjust right to the patient.
But you don't want to go overboard, you know. So
(34:38):
it's it's like a haircut that doesn't grow back right
to cut it away and no way for it to
grow back, So we got to take it, take it
you know, slowly, and it's step at a time, so
it's not Unfortunately it isn't a you know, set one
and done type of thing many times. But that's something
that we also pride ourselves in as getting things right
for the patient.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
And you don't want it to be one or done,
and if somebody tells you it is, it means they're
probably not doing right. So I mean, that's it's a
good thing to have somebody that's looking out for you
and tells you, hey, we got to do this again.
We have to do this again. In the long run,
it's going to pay out because we're going to get
tuned to the point where you're going to be comfortable
and it's not going to cause those same those same
annoyances or whatever it is it's causing for you. So
you want somebody to take that level of care with you.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
That's what we try to do.
