Dr. Jason Smithson makes a triumphant return to the Dental Hacks Podcast! Jason and Alan spent an hour talking about what's going on in the life of one of our most requested guests! Jason tells us about:

Being forced into a different practice (and practice model) as a mid-career dentist
All the fixed/removable cases he's seeing (and what it must have been like to be a prosthodontist in 1968)
How trying something completely new can beat boredom in practice
How does working with other dentists and dental team members makes for better patient outcomes
How does the financial security make for better patient outcomes?
What does mentorship look like to Jason Smithson? Who is ready to be mentored? Who is ready to be a mentor?
The pros and cons of social media for dentists
How do younger dentists learn differently from mid-career dentists
Why do dentists forget the fundamentals?
How does he handle working with compromise cases and still feel great about his results?
