A shot across the bow with Dr. Jonathan Abenaim (DHP138)

Episode 138 features Dr. Jonathan Abenaim shaking up the status quo about digital dentistry and a Brain Trust on social media for 2017.

What is digital dentistry? Dr. Jonathan Abenaim has some thoughts about this. And they might surprise you! Dr. Abenaim is a dentist who has learned all the major digital dentistry systems, prints and mills most everything in his office and basically has this stuff figured out. Look, you know he's controversial when he calls the CEREC (which he uses on a daily basis) the "Easy Bake Oven" of dentistry. Jonathan runs Smile Syllabus which teaches dentists how to incorporate digital technologies into their day to day workflow.

Our Brain Trust features the return of Dr. Ryan McCall along with regulars Dr. Melissa Zettler and Dr. Frank Clayton as we discuss how we're using social media in our practices in 2017! Websites, reviews, Facebook...we talk about all of it.
