It was great catching up with Theresa Smith of Optimize Dental.  Theresa was a guest on the podcast in early 2021 when Optimize Dental was a new venture.  Now a year in I wanted to catch up with Theresa on the past year.  What did she learn?  What surprised happened along the way? And what does she see for the future of Optimize Dental and the dental industry she serves.Optimize Dental - websiteOptimize Dental - Office Manager Study Club registrationOptimize Dental - FasebookTheresa Smith - LinkedInBob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

In the beginning of 2021 a company, Desktop Metal acquired EnvisionTec, a company credited with the development of Digital Light Projection (DLP) 3D printing and  almost 20 years of  research, development, and experience bringing both 3D printers and resins to market in the Additive Manufacturing industry.   Through this acquisition Desktop Health was born. I was excited to be able to catch up with Michael Jafar, President and CEO of the newly formed Desktop Health to discuss the direction of this new company and the waves they are making in the dental industry.  Michael and Desktop Health are focused on changing how 3D printing works in dentistry.  Taking 3D printing from a behind the scenes technology printing support materials such as models and trays to manufacturing end use products starting with removable dentures made possible by Flexcera.  Desktop Health is also making news when it acquired its first fully functioning dental lab.  A decision Desktop Health is confident will help increase the speed of innovation, adaptation and level of ​satisfaction for dentist, lab and patient.These were just a few of the topics we touched on in today's conversation.I thank Mike for his time and look forward to speaking with him again.Desktop HealthWhat makes Flexcera so Special?Bob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

Several months back Theresa Smith, the founder of Optimize Dental organized a dental summit over zoom where she had an amazing panel of guests to discuss a wide rage of topics effecting the dental industry.  This podcast is the audio from that summit.  Theresa was kind enough to allow me to rebroadcast that summit incase you were not able to attend live.I am proud to say that at this time most of the guests on Theresa's panel have also been guess on my podcast.  I have linked their episodes incase you wish to take a deeper dive on their area of expertise.  Don't worry Jamie - we will get you on the show soon :)Here is the contact information for Theresa and her guests:Theresa Smith - Optimize Dental, Founder780-360-9857  |  optimizedental@gmail.comS2 E02 Conversation with Theresa Smith of Optimize DentalJamie Imeson - Henry Schein, Field Sales Consultant780-499-4064 | jamie.imeson@henryschein.caTom Christensen - Yates Whitaker, Managing Partner780-413-7211 | tom@yateswhitaker.caS2 E12 - How are Australian Dental Universities effecting the Canadian Dental environment with Tom Christensen of Yates WhitakerMike Clark - WORKFORCE, VP604-616-0555 | mike@workforce.caS2 E13 - Changing the Temp Work environment in Dentistry with Mike Clark VP of WORKFORCE Dental StaffingJustin Sharp - CareCru, CTO780-850-8886 | justin@carecru.comS1 E02 - Conversation with Justin Sharp of CareCruVic Nikolaj - Luxate Digital Marketing, Founder780-904-8857  |  info@luxate.caS2 E20 - Marketing in a Pandemic.

I think 3D printing is simply cool.  It has taken all of my adult 'responsibility' to resist buying a 3D printer to satisfy my personal curiosity.  I am secretly waiting for the day that my son is old enough so that I can use him as the excuse to buy one.  I think 3D printing has the opportunity to make an impact in any industry that deals in physical products.  Be that manufacturing, prototyping, medical, dental and others.The types of printers and the materials they print are advancing and it was fun to talk to Kevin Dillon the Channel Success Manager at Desktop Health about the advancements they are making in their company and the industry.  I think this disruptive technology is going to push the dental industry in a similar way that CAD/CAM has.  Dental clinics and Labs will have to consider the traditional ways of manufacturing dentures, aligners, implant guides and even final single unit restoration and compare that to the advancing technology of 3D printing.   I would not be surprised if 3D printing makes a faster and larger impact on dentistry than CAD/CAM as more types of treatment can take advantage of the technology.  If you wish to reach out to Kevin directly his contact information is below;Kevin DillonChannel Success ManagerenvisionTEKDesktop Health1-313-505-6559kdillon@envisiontec.comFacebook Groups:- Envision One Dental Users- EnvisonTEC Orthodontic Study GroupBob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

For as long as I have worked in the Dental Industry the running light hearted joke has been that dentists walk into a bank and say they want to build or buy a dental practice and they have walked out with a blank check.  Rob Wild of TD bank is the guy writing those blank checks.  I wanted to talk with Rob to see how Covid has changed lending practices for dentists?  Do banks still look a the dental industry as a recession proof investment.  I also wanted him to answer the question: is a bank, a bank a bank? and how does he address the commoditization of the banking industry. In the conversation Rob refers to an earlier podcast episode I had with Tom Christensen, the Managing Partner of Yates Whitaker.  I have linked that episode below for your convenience.S2 E12 - How are Australian Dental Universities effecting the Canadian Dental environment with Tom Christensen of Yates WhitakerIf you want to reach out to Rob his contact information is below.Rob WildRegional Manager Professional BankingTD Bank780-902-6416rob.wild@td.com Please Like, Follow, Subscribe and leave a comment.Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Spotify | Subscribe on Google PodcastsBob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

I always enjoy connecting with Kevin Wong.  He is a good friend and someone I look too for advice when needed.  At this time where we all hope that we are moving forward and leaving the last 18 months in our rear-view mirrors I wanted to connect with Kevin to discuss his take on what may or what could lie ahead for us.  Kevin owns and operates EvolveOne Media a full service digital marketing agency. We have all heard people say 'get back to normal' and maybe we have said that our selves.  Kevin had a good line in the conversation 'Getting Beyond Normal'.  I think this is the real target.  We will never get back what we have lost during this time.  There is only one way to move and that is forward and beyond.Here is the link to our first conversation:S1 E06 - Conversation with Kevin Wong CEO of EvolveOne MediaKevin WongEvolveOne Mediakevinw@evolvewonemedia.comFacebook | InstagramBob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

Andy Thiessen used to ref NHL games, now he sells the Solea All-Tissue laser.  Today we discussed how he sees the game of hockey change during the playoffs and how the Solea laser could impact dentistry.I enjoyed the conversation and I think we touched on some important topics.  It is always hard to pick what new technologies are going to take off and which will linger.  I know Hard Tissue lasers have not become as accepted as anticipated but the Solea laser is based on different technology and different science.  I think this is promising technology as we are already seeing offices having success with the laser.  I think this was a fair and honest conversation.  I wanted to discuss the potential of this technology but did not the entire episode to be a sales pitch.  I did my best to ask some hard questions and keep Andy on his toes.If you have any questions and want to reach out to Andy his contact information is below.Andy Thiessen Convergent Dental1-587-896-1206athiessen@convergentdental.comBob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

Eight months ago I spoke with Lee Tessler of Cirrus Consulting Group about the current state of the Commercial Real-estate world as we were just exiting the fist wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.  At that time a Second Wave was discussed as a possibility but there was no way either of us could have predicted the events that followed our fist conversation.  The first conversation I had with Lee was the most watched conversation of that series and I thought a second conversation was warranted.For those who are interested I have included a link to our first conversation below:Conversation with Lee Tessler of Cirrus Consulting GroupFor those interested in reaching out to Lee directly to discuss any upcoming seminars, complementary lease review or to employ Lee to assist in your lease renegotiation  his contact info is below.Lee TesslerSenior Consultant, Cirrus Consulting Group1-647-789-3246ltessler@cirrusconsultinggroup.comCirrus Consulting Online Course Schedule and Registration Bob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

Vickie Burgess has in interesting story arch that landed her in the banking industry.  Her journey is not that of financial schooling and institutions that would naturally lead to banking.  Rather she came from the wold of Social Work where she spent eight years working with high-risk youth offenders in Toronto.  Now this start may seem to have little crossover into banking but Vickey shows that this added perspective does prove useful when working with clients as they work to build the financial plan.I really enjoyed talking with Vickie today and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to her.Victoria BurgessSenior Private Client Adviser ATB Financial780-488-7631vburgess@atb.com Bob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

I really enjoyed catching up with Dr. Mark Tholen as we discussed a range of topics surrounding the continuing evolution of the dental operator and dental office.   I have known Mark for years as I was fortunate to attend his design seminars when he was partnered with Pelton & Crain and now A-DEC.  These seminars were always educational, entertaining and the setting of Portland OR was always fun to explore.   I look forward when we are able to travel back to Portland with clients and listen to Mark speak on dental office design and converse over a nice glass of wine.Below are some links to resources discussed in the episode:Dr. Mark Tholen email: drmark@mynewdentaloffice.comDr. Mark Tholen Website - THE DesignsDr. Mark Tholen Online Dental Office Design CourseYouTube Video - Air Quality Management in the Dental OperatoryBook: A Guide To Designing The Elegant Dental Or Medical Officeby Dr. Mark TholenNote - If there are any issues with Amazon shipping the book to Canada please contact Dr. Tholen via email.Bob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

If you can't beat-em, join-em.  Born into the Dental Industry, and married into it Vic Nikolaj is not surprised to find himself helping doctors and dental offices improve their marketing execution.   It was fun to talk today with Vic on a virility of topics surrounding Marketing and the Dental Industry.  We discussed the old school method of marketing which was almost nonexistent to the new and innovative ways offices are attracting new patients and most importantly keeping them coming back.  We discussed marketing through a pandemic and what opportunities exist for business as we hopefully find ourselves coming out of a pandemic.If you have any questions please reach out to Vic and Luxate Digital MarketingFacebook | Instagram Bob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

Today's episode was a fun one for me.  Two guests Chrissy Ford and Lousia Zylstra of Advanced Hygiene Consulting.  This is a fun conversation where we cover a verity of topics.  Who are they and how did they find themselves on this path.  What has Advanced Hygiene Consulting gown to become.  What common issues do they find when they are brought into a dental office.  And what have they seen during the past 14 months regarding the Covid-19 pandemic.This conversation was a lot of fun and I highly recommend if you have any questions regarding the hygiene department at your office please reach out to them.www.advancedhgyinesolutions.caFacebook | Instagramadvancedhyginesolutions4u@gmail.comBob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast

I met Mike Clark in 2019 in Kelowna at an unofficial Dental Summit.  It was a meeting organized by a number of Henry Schein reps from Western Canada and gave us a chance to swap stories and notes on how we were working in the dental industry.Mike and Workforce was one of the shining lights of that meeting as he addressed the issues of staffing, which we as reps get bombarded with requests when offices need people.  But Mike also educated us on the general unorganized mess that the Dental Temp Staffing arena is compared to other industries.There is a lot of risk and inconvenience with how the current temp-staffing world works - for employees and employers.  Workforce is doing what they can to improve the experience for both employees and employers.Please review the attached PDF's below and feel free to contact Mike if you have any questions.Article Link: Self-employed vs. Employee Status​Workforce PDFMike Clark, VP Workforce - Staffing SolutionsWorkforce Dental Staffing Solutionsmike@workforce.ca1-604-616-0555Bob Piercy - host- phone - 780-965-2232- email - rhpiercy@me.com - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertpiercy/- Website - https://robertpiercy.com- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BobPiercyCoTravelPocast
