  • Ultra High End Cosmetic Dentistry with Brandon Mack – PDP231

    Ultra High End Cosmetic Dentistry with Brandon Mack – PDP231
    Jul 10 2025
    How do you manage patients that have ultra high expectations? What’s the best way to communicate cosmetic outcomes before the final result? How do you balance your aesthetic vision with what they see? Dr. Brandon Mack joins Jaz for a deep dive into the realities of cosmetic dentistry—from subjective perceptions of beauty to practical tips that make or break a case. They discuss how to navigate aesthetic stress, manage patient expectations, and even go into Brandon’s favorite veneer cement and occlusal philosophy. Plus, Brandon shares key failures that shaped his journey—and how you can avoid the same pitfalls. https://youtu.be/s7puDNP3d7U Watch PDP231 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When discussing smile design with patients, especially in high-end cosmetic cases, set the right expectations early by using this memorable “Eyebrow Analogy”: Central incisors = Twins (they should be as symmetrical as possible) Lateral incisors = Sisters (not identical, but related) Canines = Cousins (more individual) This helps patients understand that perfect symmetry isn’t always natural or necessary — especially for lateral incisors! Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Key Takeaways Cosmetic dentistry as a lens through which all treatment should be approached—balancing patient autonomy with ethical care. Managing expectations begins before the patient sits in the chair. It continues through structured checkpoints: from initial consultation to provisional feedback and final delivery. Temps aren’t just placeholders—they are test drives. They align expectations between the dentist, patient, and lab, reducing surprises and improving satisfaction. Some dentists may under-diagnose due to fear of rejection—not out of true minimalism. Thoughtful planning can make “more treatment” actually less invasive. Patients often want teeth that are both ultra-white and natural-looking. Brandon developed the concept of believability—a visual balance that delivers a wow-factor while still appearing real. Creating a mathematically perfect smile can make natural facial asymmetries more obvious. Dentists must weigh beauty against harmony. Social media and filters have distorted patient self-perception. Dentists must learn to identify signs of body or tooth dysmorphia and respond ethically—not just clinically. Building relationships with ceramists over time—expecting 15–20 cases before finding synergy. Each technician has unique strengths and should be matched accordingly. Composite veneers are accessible and beautiful—but extremely technique-sensitive. You become the ceramist. Brandon admires them but uses them selectively due to long-term maintenance concerns. Panavia Veneer Cement – Translucent for its predictable handling, strength, and minimal risk to thin ceramic restorations.

  • Digital Articulators Explained with Seth Atkins – PDP230

    Digital Articulators Explained with Seth Atkins – PDP230
    Jul 3 2025
    We use articulators to help ‘mimic’ our patient’s jaw movements, to ultimately do less adjustments/revisions in the future. But are digital articulators there yet? Or is analog king? Or is digital dentistry just flashy tech with no real-world benefits? Can a virtual articulator truly match the movements of your patient’s jaw? Is a CBCT really better than a facebow—and WHEN should you use which? In this cutting-edge episode with Dr. Seth Atkins, we dive into the world of digital articulation—exploring how tools like virtual articulators, CBCT alignment, and 3D-printed provisionals are transforming clinical workflows. You’ll learn how to combine analog wisdom with digital precision, improve lab communication, and make full-mouth rehabs more predictable and efficient than ever. From mounting accuracy to motion capture, this episode is your ultimate guide to articulating smarter in the digital age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT31Ecf_kDo Watch PDP230 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Always send your lab the color version of your digital scan — the PLY file — not just the STL. STL shows shape, but PLY shows color — like markings and tissue detail. Ask your lab: "Are you seeing color, or do you need the PLY?" Better scans = better results Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Key Takeaways: Digital methods can enhance accuracy and patient outcomes → but only when used intentionally. Understanding both analog and digital techniques is crucial → they complement each other, not compete. Mentorship plays a significant role in advancing dental education → experience accelerates clinical confidence. Digital workflows can significantly reduce chair time → and improve patient comfort in the process. The integration of CBCT with digital workflows enhances diagnostics → giving clearer insight into static and functional relationships. Digital provisionals offer a cost-effective and efficient solution → saving time, money, and frustration for both dentist and patient. Axiography is essential for capturing patient motion accurately → because real movement matters more than assumptions.

    Airway Dentistry with Jeff Rouse – PDP229
    Jun 26 2025
    Are you considering the airway in your treatment planning? Could centric relation (CR) be compromising your patient’s breathing? When you open the vertical dimension, are you making the airway better—or worse? Welcome to another AES 2026 series episode, this time with LEGEND Dr. Jeff Rouse as he joins Jaz in this eye-opening episode to explore how airway, aesthetics, and function are deeply interconnected—especially in prosthodontics. They discuss key clinical scenarios like vertical dimension changes, examining how your choices may impact the airway—sometimes in ways you didn’t expect. With practical insights and examples, this episode will help you make smarter, airway-conscious decisions that elevate both your functional and aesthetic outcomes. https://youtu.be/-Ut-qme7Vcg Watch PDP229 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Plan your breaks 12 months in advance to avoid burnout and ensure quality time with your loved ones. Prioritize rest and connection before reaching exhaustion—your body, mind, and heart will thank you. Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Key Takeaways Airway health is crucial in dentistry, impacting aesthetics and function. Understanding airway issues can lead to better treatment outcomes for patients. Breastfeeding plays a significant role in childhood development and airway health. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential for effective adult treatment. Aesthetics and function are key factors in airway prosthodontics. Most patients are unaware of their airway issues until they are addressed. Early intervention in childhood can prevent future airway problems. Combining orthodontics and prosthodontics can enhance patient care. Airway management is crucial for overall patient health. A great bite is not just about teeth alignment. Pathway wear can indicate deeper dental issues. Vertical dimension changes can negatively impact airway. Understanding joint positions is essential in treatment planning. Continuous education is vital for modern dental practices.
