Transcription and Slides: Dental Excellence Video 2

Dr Stephen Phelan January 8, 2015

Hi there. I’m Dr. Stephan Phelan. Welcome to Dental Excellence. For this video I want to point out one of the themes that I follow when I’m teaching about more complex dental cases or aesthetic dental cases and that theme is the wax up is the blueprint. I really believe that you need to “begin with the end in mind”, to quote Steven Covey, if you’re going to be thinking about doing more complex dental or aesthetic cases. I designed my diagnostic wax up communication form to enable my ceramist to really have the vision that the patient and I […]

Transcription and Slides: Dental Excellence Video 1

Dr Stephen Phelan December 11, 2014

I’m Dr. Stephen Phelan and welcome to Dental Excellence. With this series of videos my idea is to create a series of shorter 10-15 minute or less videos where I’ll present one or two clinical techniques or tips or perhaps a case that I’m working on in my practice and get the word out across the various social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, maybe even my blog. I’m planning to post these videos on my blog, and then ultimately I’d like to create a podcast for these videos. My goal here is to get the word out about one […]

Product Recommendation Video 4

Dr Stephen Phelan January 16, 2014

A few months ago I created a new video that I intended to be the first video for my product recommendation series. I was kind of slow to edit this video and then I became busy with 4 new full mouth cases so it was never completed and released. The bottom line is that I found the footage the other day and it is really good so I edited it. It does say this is the first video in the series but it is now the 4th. I think I should call this my lost product recommendation video!

Severe Wear Patient Case Study

Dr Stephen Phelan January 18, 2013

A couple of months ago a patient came into my practice with severe tooth wear relative to his age. His main goal was to have a nicer smile with longer, whiter teeth.
