The Implant Pathway Podcast

Dr. Vorholt sits down with Dr. James Sanderson, Dr. Dan Holtzclaw and Dr. Ravi Patel after an ADI Course at The Pathway. Possibly the longest podcast yet, you'll want to listen to this one. 

Dr. Vorholt, Dr. Josh Nagao, Dr. Thomas Graf and Dr. Chase Culbertson talk about their journey into dentistry and their days at the Ohio State University. Dr. Moody made sure he wasn't around for this one. 

Dr. Vorholt sits down with the residents to talk about their experience with us at residents. A battle for the most implants and who really is number 1.

It's been a long time coming... but our NEW AEGD residents have officially started!  Drs. Christian Westermeier, Alex Stewart and Jasmyne Samuels join us for the first of several check-ins... but we're all feeling pretty excited about what this year will bring.   Interested in more information about the AEGD program?  E-mail Dr. Keber - keber@newhorizondental.org

Drs. Steven Vorholt, Randy Houska and Michelle Caldwell are joined by Rusty Fitton. Dr. Rusty Fitton, a brand new mentor on his first visit as faculty to Implant Pathway, sits down with the crew.

Drs. Justin Moody and Steven Vorholt are joined in studio with special guest Dr. Nestor Marquez - Born and raised in the small, hot, cold and rapidly growing city of Yuma Az.  Dr. Nestor Marquez enjoys his family, friends, playing music, reading, writing and has the privilege of doing Full arch implant dentistry alongside his brother and a wonderful team of doctors right across the border in a popular town called “Los Algodones, Mexico.” Trained in Mexico, and has done continuing education regarding implant dentistry in the USA. Dr. Nestor thrives to deliver the quality dentistry humans deserve but that sometimes feel is put at stake when traveling across the border to find lower prices. He now continues perfecting his craft and teaching others along the way. By lecturing across the place and giving courses on Full arch implant dentistry, because he believes that to grow in knowledge, knowledge must be shared and passed on.  

 Drs. Steven Vorholt and Randy Houska take the helm to chat with the McGues while they're in town to teach Implant Pathway's Oral Sedation course!

Two stellar Implant Pathway mentors join us in-studio to discuss IV sedation for dental procedures, "THE" Ohio State, and what their experience has been mentoring.   Dr. Justin Moody joins us as well! Dr. Rajan Sheth is a leader in the field of restorative and implant dentistry. He has rehabilitated thousands of patients and maintains a simple vision of "Fear Free Dentistry" and "No one should have to suffer wearing a denture or the embarrassment of missing teeth." He focuses his scope of practice on comprehensive restorative dentistry with a strong focus on IV sedation, extractions, dental implants, dentures, bone reconstruction, and immediate teeth in a day dental services. Dr. Sheth has been routinely removing wisdom teeth from simple cases, to complete boney extractions in private practice since 2011.

He maintains his Advanced Cardia Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) and continually trains with other dental surgeons both nationally and internationally.

He believes there is a dental solution for everyone, and it is his passion to find that solution for you. He proudly serves patients in Scottsdale, Greater Phoenix, Peoria, and the surrounding areas in Arizona. Dr. Nagao earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University.  In addition to his general dentistry experience, Dr. Nagao received advanced surgical training working with an oral surgeon in Ohio.  He gained valuable experience in sedation dentistry, implant placement, routine root canal procedures and wisdom teeth extractions.
