Dentscape Uses AI to Design Better Restorations
Sep 15, 2024Tap to summarizeThis week Russ talks with Dentscape AI co-founders Bill Chou and Sylvie Liu, DDS along with their VP of Business Development Ryan Axelson. They've all been on the podcast before when Russ went to Smilecon in 2022. On the previous podcast, they talked about PreTeeth AI Pro which does smile design using AI to simulate what is possible doing different treatment modalities. Dentscape AI is a web based software that currently can design bite splints and crowns using a simplified interface with the goal being to expedite the entire process so that labs can design units in a day and be more efficient. We talk about the process of developing the AI as well as why they first started with bite splints rather than crowns as well as why humans are still needed to guide the AI. If you are interested in hearing about how AI is "done," it is a cool conversation. If you are a lab interested in partnering with Dentscape, contact Ryan. His email is ryan@dentscape.ai or you can find him on Facebook as well. If you prefer LinkedIn, his page is https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanaxelson/ Also as a disclaimer, they have given me Russell a few free credits to try out their software, but I am not being paid to endorse them at all. These people are friends of mine.
Transcribe →Nick Boyd and the Lifestyle Practice
Dec 15, 2023Tap to summarizeThis week Clint and Russ talk with Dr. Nick Boyd. Nick practices in Annapolis, MD at Boyd Family Dentistry and went to dental school later in life after a career in business. While he was an associate for a while, he bought an office from a dentist who unfortunately took his own life. We talk about that transition and how it actually went really well for him thankfully. We go on to discuss how we remove stress from our lives by firing patients, working the hours we want to work, and having the office work us rather than the other way around. Last but not least, stay on for arguably the best "Just the Tip" of all time.
