Dr. Darin Dichter is full time faculty at Spear Education. He's a prosthodontist, but practiced general dentistry for a lot of years before heading to UCLA for a pros residency! We talk about Spear Education, restorative dentistry and residency programs. We discussed:

How does Spear Education work? Online vs. campus? Seminar vs. workshop?
What was pros residency like for someone who had practiced dentistry for a lot of years?
How did Frank Spear react to Darin's choice about residency? How about Gregg Kinzer? And Bob Winter?
How does Darin feel about the "super GP" concept? (Darin doesn't like endo)
Are we "cutting bait" with teeth too early now that implants are so common? What about implant complications?
"Minimally destructive" vs. "minimally invasive" treatment planning. Trying to treatment plan yourself out of a case.
Wow does Spear talk about orthodontics a lot! Perhaps the least destructive treatment option out there.
Treatment planning by "thinking out loud"
The best way to break bad habits is not get them in the first place!
Why is photography important?
What's the best way to make sure you're always taking photographs?
