  • Great podcast, poor sound quality

    Lots of super hints and tips for running a practice but the sound quality is poor. Feels like you are in a cold empty room with the interview!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Communication, creativity, and why being human is still our greatest advantage with Helen Alexiou Pestana
Q: Tell me more about Fusion IQ.
Fusion IQ is the deliberate combination of artificial intelligence (speed and scale), human intelligence (empathy and judgment), and creative intelligence (imagination and meaning). When fused, they provide a fuller, more human-centric approach to communication and decision-making in dentistry, avoiding over-reliance on AI while preserving human touch.
How great communication paves the way to patient satisfaction with Jenna Ellis
Q: How do you manage patient expectations when whitening affects shade matching?
We coordinate with the dentist to decide on an appropriate pre- or post-whitening timeline, and we often request patients to wait a couple of weeks after whitening before final restoration shade is taken to ensure accuracy.
How great communication paves the way to patient satisfaction with Jenna Ellis
Q: What makes shade taking so challenging in practice?
Shade taking is challenging because it depends on accurate lighting, camera angles, and understanding the translucency and character of the tooth; photos alone don't always capture the true shade, so dialogue and multiple references are needed.
Understanding the limbic leader with Lisa Grogan
Q: Now, Lisa, you're sort of an executive and business coach, but you're based in Ireland—could you tell us more about your background and what brought you to this limbic leadership work?
Lisa explains her 20-year journey in dentistry, from private practice to management of Invisalign clinics, to leading a dental medical device company, and finally moving into executive and neuroscience coaching with a focus on the human aspects of leadership.
NHS dentistry, access & the future of the profession with Shiv Pabary
Q: What might a future NHS contract look like and how would it address prevention and complex care?
He suggests a blended, capitation-based contract that pays for prevention and accounts for the complexity of care, with activity-based payments adjusted to reflect true costs and a stronger focus on health outcomes.
