Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 177- The Clear Aligner Lab Bill w/ Avi Patel
Q: What practical steps can a dentist take to start or scale clear aligner cases in their practice?
Start with clear goals and a plan, use mentorship or a coach to review cases, implement checklists for case selection, ensure team alignment, educate patients via color scans, and gradually offload more work to the team while maintaining quality. The emphasis is on simple, repeatable processes and marketing alignment to attract patients who are good fits for aligners.
Episode 177- The Clear Aligner Lab Bill w/ Avi Patel
Q: Why is the Invisalign lab fee such a recurring concern, and how can doctors move past it?
The guests discuss that the lab fee is often framed as a barrier, but the true leverage comes from increasing case volume, using transparent pricing, and leveraging discounts through volume. They advocate for systems, mentorship, and parallel revenue streams (e.g., scans that engage patients) to reduce perceived cost and improve profitability.
Episode 177- The Clear Aligner Lab Bill w/ Avi Patel
Q: What inspired Avi Patel to focus on clear aligners and coaching dentists?
Avi explains that his journey into dentistry and a burnout with traditional practice led him to aligners, where he could impact more patients. He found early demand from colleagues and built a simple, accessible coaching model to help dentists start and scale aligner cases, emphasizing that the ROI grows with volume and proper case selection.
Episode 175- Clinical Unfiltered | SRPs vs. Periodontal Therapy w/ Dr. Polly
Q: Why do practitioners still observe residual calculus after flap surgery even with advanced tools?
Despite improved instrumentation and visibility, root surfaces can still retain calculus after flap surgery due to anatomical challenges and the difficulty of accessing certain surface irregularities; this underlines the continued value of SRP and staged therapy.
Episode 175- Clinical Unfiltered | SRPs vs. Periodontal Therapy w/ Dr. Polly
Q: Who performed the SRP versus the flap in the Michigan study and what was the design?
The study used a split-mouth design where different quadrants of the same patient received either SRP or flap surgery, allowing direct within-subject comparison of outcomes.
