AI is no longer some far-off concept in dentistry, it is already starting to change the way practices communicate, diagnose, plan, and operate.

In this episode of DentalBytes, Marc Wagner is joined in studio by Tyler McLendon for a real conversation about where dental technology is heading, from AI-powered patient intake and front desk support to digital workflows, treatment planning, diagnostics, robotics, and the future of practice ownership.

But at the heart of the conversation is one major point:

Dentistry will always be a people business.

AI can help reduce missed opportunities, support busy teams, improve response times, and make practices more efficient — but the patient experience still depends on trust, connection, culture, and the people inside the practice.

A great discussion on the balance between technology and humanity in the future of dentistry.

Dentistry is changing.

For a long time, the path felt pretty clear: graduate, associate, buy a clinic, build the practice, retire.

But today, that pathway is a lot more complicated.

In this episode of DentalBytes, I sat down with Gurtej from White Coat Financial to talk about the financial realities facing dentists right now especially younger dentists trying to figure out whether clinic ownership is still the right move.

We covered:

Clinic ownership vs. associate life
Lifestyle inflation
Financial peer pressure
Incorporation
Insurance mistakes
Practice acquisition
Debt servicing
Wealth management
Reputation
And the importance of building a plan that actually fits your life

One of my favourite points from Gurtej was this:

“Your decisions compound the same way your money does.”

That one hits.

Because in dentistry, it is not just about earning more. It is about building with intention, avoiding unnecessary traps, and making sure the life you are creating is actually the one you want to live.

This is a great episode for dentists at any stage of their career but especially for those looking at ownership, wealth planning, or the next major financial decision.

Before buying a dental practice, consider if it truly fits your circumstances, skillset, and income needs. What's perfect for one dentist could be a disaster for another. Ensure the practice is a perfect glove for you, not just a good deal.

Dentistry is evolving — and so is the financial path behind it.

In this episode of DentalBytes, I sit down with Gurtej from White Coat Financial to talk about the money side of dentistry that does not always get taught in school.

We get into clinic ownership, lifestyle inflation, financial peer pressure, incorporation, insurance, debt, practice acquisition, and why dentists need a clear plan before making major decisions.

One of my favourite lines from Gurtej:

“Your decisions compound the same way your money does.”

This is a solid one for dentists, students, associates, owners, and anyone trying to build wealth without losing themselves in the process.

Dentistry is changing quickly — and conversations like this one show just how much opportunity there is when clinical care, mentorship, business strategy, and technology come together.

On this episode of DentalBytes, I had the chance to sit down with Dr. Amreesh Khanna, a dentist, entrepreneur, educator, and AI innovator who is doing some incredible work in the dental space.

We covered a lot of ground, including:
• His journey from dental school to practice ownership
• The Calgary flood and how adversity shaped his business mindset
• The importance of mentorship and having a personal advisory board
• Why implementation is often the hardest part of continuing education
• The role of one-on-one clinical mentorship
• How AI is becoming part of the future of dental care
• OraQ AI and the rise of clinical intelligence platforms
• Privacy, compliance, interoperability, and responsible innovation
• Why collaboration across the dental ecosystem matters

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation was that AI is not here to replace clinicians. It is here to support better decisions, better communication, and more consistent care — when used properly, ethically, and with the right understanding.

The future of dentistry is going to be shaped by the people who are willing to stay curious, keep learning, collaborate, and help build it.

Big thank you to Dr. Khanna for joining me on DentalBytes.

AI, mentorship, resilience, and the future of dentistry this was a good one.

On this episode of DentalBytes, I sat down with Dr. Amreesh Khanna to talk about his journey through dentistry, practice ownership, education, entrepreneurship, and the world of AI.

From overcoming the Calgary flood early in his practice ownership journey, to building platforms like Adept Dental Education and OraQ AI, Dr. Khanna brings a unique perspective on where dentistry is heading.

We talked about:

🦷 Mentorship in dentistry
🦷 Implementing what you learn after CE courses
🦷 Building confidence clinically and professionally
🦷 The rise of AI in dental care
🦷 Clinical decision support
🦷 Better patient communication
🦷 Why collaboration matters more than ever

The future of dentistry is moving fast — but with the right tools, the right people, and the right mindset, there is a lot to be excited about.

In this episode of DentalBytes, I had the chance to sit down with Daniel Karbouzian of SprintRay to discuss one of the biggest shifts happening in dentistry right now: the convergence of AI, smarter software, and chairside 3D printing. 

We talked about the practical side of adoption — why some printers thrive in practice while others collect dust, how important proper scanning workflows still are, and why integrated ecosystems are becoming so important for predictable results. We also explored where the industry is heading with night guards, surgical guides, dentures, and eventually more routine chairside restorative workflows.   

A great conversation for anyone paying attention to the future of digital dentistry.

AI, automation, chairside workflows, and 3D printing are no longer “future talk” — they’re already changing dentistry.

In this episode of DentalBytes, I sit down with Daniel Karbouzian from to talk about where digital dentistry is heading, why 3D printing adoption is accelerating, and what practices need to know about integrating this technology successfully. We also dive into scanning workflows, material innovation, and the real-world impact of faster, smarter chairside manufacturing.

A really fun and eye-opening conversation on one of the fastest-moving areas in dentistry right now.
