The Wayne Gretzky of Dentistry
Summary
- The “Holistic-ish” Approach - Patients are seeking healthier options without extremes. Dentists can meet this demand by offering practical, evidence-based care that emphasizes prevention and overall health—without getting trapped in polarizing debates.
- Market Shifts in Dentistry - From the rise of ceramic implants to the long-term challenges of All-On-X prostheses, new opportunities are emerging. Independent practices remain strong despite fears of DSOs dominating the field.
- The Psychology of Influence - During uncertain times, patients and professionals alike are guided by social proof and authority. Understanding these principles helps dentists communicate effectively, overcome biases, and redirect focus toward critical issues like periodontal disease and systemic health.
