Episode 634: Hero or Hitman: The Case for Crowns Over Compromise
View All Episodes from: VOCO Dental Podcast Series |
Series: VOCO America
CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Jennifer Derse |
Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.

In this episode, we take a real-world, no-hype look at what it actually takes for general dentists to succeed with aligners. We talk about why our guest first brought clear aligner therapy into his practice, the game-changing role of mentorship, common mistakes that can derail cases, and practical clinical pearls—especially when it comes to attachments and case selection. Our guest is Dr. Avi Patel, general dentist and founder of Clear Aligner Advisor. He’s helped hundreds of dentists successfully integrate aligner therapy into their practices through hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world implementation support.

Episode 681: To Crown or Not to Crown: Exploring the Direct Composite Advantage
View All Episodes from: VOCO Dental Podcast Series |
|
Series: VOCO America
CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey and Dr. Mauricio Watanabe |
Today we’ll explore why direct composite procedures are quickly becoming a preferred alternative to traditional indirect restorations—and how you can use hybrid techniques like deep margin elevation and model-based composite crowns to deliver exceptional results without prepping away valuable tooth structure or sending cases to the lab. Joining us are two experienced clinicians, Dr Lauren Rainey and Dr Mauricio Watanabe. They will share how the use of highly filled nanocomposite materials in their techniques are transforming the way they restore teeth—and why patients are loving the results.
