Innovators of Health Dr. Matthew Young talks about Implant Dentistry, Red-Light Therapy, and the Future of Regenerative Care
In this episode of Innovators of Health, Dr. Matthew Young traces his path in implant dentistry and how new technologies—from digital workflows to photobiomodulation (red/NIR light)—are improving recovery, comfort, and long-term outcomes. He digs into aesthetics and function, the role of lifestyle and systemic health in surgical success, and why peer collaboration accelerates learning. Dr. Young also addresses skepticism around emerging tech and looks ahead to biologics and regenerative medicine as the next leap in implant care.
Key Takeaways
- 🦷 Implants, evolved: Digital planning + modern workflows = faster, more predictable outcomes.
- 🔴 PBM as an adjunct: Red/NIR light supports recovery, comfort, and tissue healing—clinic → home.
- 🎨 Function + aesthetics: Beautiful, durable results require biology-first and smile-design thinking.
- 🌱 Whole-health matters: Nutrition, sleep, and habits influence osseointegration and longevity.
- 🤝 Learn together: Study clubs and cross-discipline collabs raise the standard of care.
- 🧪 From doubt to data: Education and measured trials turn skepticism into adoption.
- 🧬 What’s next: Biologics and regenerative medicine will further shorten recovery and improve stability.
- 📚 Educate to empower: Clear expectations and home protocols boost adherence and results.
