That's the incisor position, the occlusal plane, and the vertical dimension. — If you can't define those three things very clearly, you're not ready to move forward with surgical planning.” — Dr. Hunter Dawson [0:07:09] “I would encourage most oral surgeons to build their practice around working with people that understand the surgical portion of treatment.” — Dr. Hunter Dawson [0:08:05] “Simplifying the conversation is what's important [while] trying to make sure we're meeting the patient where they want to be.” — Dr. Hunter Dawson [0:14:14] “We're starting to see a lot of non-specialist procedures being done that are resulting in the need for specialists to intervene to correct.” — Dr. Hunter Dawson [0:16:39] “It's a six to eight-month process, [but] our patients get to wear a nice interim prosthetic.” — Dr. Hunter Dawson [0:26:00] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Dr. Hunter Dawson — https://dawsondmd.com/ Email Dr. Hunter Dawson — hdawson@envisiondentalimplants.com Email Dr. Hunter Dawson — hunterdawsondmd@gmail.com Use promo code “DAWSON” to get a discount on SDC kits Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0358099765 Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.com Dr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

Medical professional liability insurance, more commonly known as malpractice insurance, is the most important insurance for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

It protects our ability to practice; it protects our livelihood.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:03:53] “Insurance, for me, is very simple. I insure things that I cannot afford to replace, and I cannot afford to replace my profession.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:04:08] “In a liability claim, the patient comes with a verbal story; we come with a written record. And as everybody knows in the legal arena, written is better than verbal.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:24:07] “We’re stronger together than individually – if we stay together, we can make a bigger impact.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:28:14] “There’s no way to really prevent a malpractice allegation – but we can recognize that it’s always a possibility and have strategies to mitigate or lessen the chances of that happening, or if it does happen, have the documentation prepared so it minimizes the impact of that allegation.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:28:37] “You have to be available for your patients, you have to be affable, and you have to be able. If you stick to that, then there’s a lower likelihood of a patient filing suit.” — Dr. Anthony Spina [0:29:17] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Dr. Anthony Spina on LinkedIn — linkedin.com/in/anthony-spina-b860893a/ Dr. Anthony Spina Email — aspina@me.com OMS National Insurance — omsnic.com Chicago Surgical Specialists — chicagosurgical.com/ MPL Association — mplassociation.org/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/ Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.com Dr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

If you don’t want periodontists and oral surgeons working together, then turn off this podcast right now, because today is all about bridging the gap between a divide that’s stood for far too long. Joining us today is oral surgeon, Robert McNeill, DDS, MD, MBA, FACD, FICD, and periodontist, Stephanie Ganter, DDS, MS, FACD, FICD. The pair jointly host a podcast and share a dental practice, and they are here to explain how their two specialties can work together in harmony (against all odds). We discuss the importance of building better systemic channels of communication, how periodontists and oral surgeons can forge meaningful relationships, what leaders and dental practices need to do to facilitate these relationships, and why referrals are key players in the effort to bridge the gap. We also learn about approaching unwilling colleagues, throwing away the ego, managing expectations, and operating in the workplace with clarity and kindness.
