  • Very Dental: How to Talk to Your Lab with Dr. David Hornbrook

    Very Dental: How to Talk to Your Lab with Dr. David Hornbrook
    Nov 1 2024

    Dr. David Hornbrook joins Alan in this throwback episode to talk about lab communication and digital workflow. David is convinced that the key to becoming a better dentist is communicating and having a good relationship with your dental lab.

    • David is REALLY glad to be back to in person teaching!
    • David explains how he became such a lab and materials focused clinician
    • "Knowing exactly what they're doing in the lab has made me a better dentist."
    • Do you invite your lab to ask for more information and critique your work?
    • Digital workflow isn't an invitation to be sloppy. PVS is way better for someone who doesn't pay attention to details
    • What's the benefit of visiting the lab?
    • Do you know who is creating your restorations?
    • Your lab techs know what kind of dentist you are!
    • Let's go to Lab Day in Chicago!
    • Do you do CE with your lab tech(s)?
    • Are we moving to implants too quickly?
    • Bridges are legitimate treatment in a lot of cases and implant are not always the best choice.
    • The greatest trick for strengthening a zirconia bridge!
    • Becoming David Hornbrook
    • Photography vs. "Instagram Photography"
    • Patient expectations and "ideal" dentistry
    • Weighing minimally invasive techniques against creating room for materials
    • Informed consent and how the dentist "spins" the treatment
    • David's recommendations for new dentists:
      • find a mentor
      • eliminate the undesirable procedures from your practice as soon as possible
      • realize that you're going to be a dentist for a long time
      • "hurry up and slow down"
      • Be uncompromising
