DINKS with Dr. Daniel Faber of Dentists Making a Difference
Ever been censored? Well, tune in tonight and see what motivated this dentist to speak out about what he had been seeing! Some would have run, and others would have been motivated. Dr. Faber is using his experience to impact our profession in many ways.
Dr. Daniel Faber (Dan) is guided by a mission to impact access to HIGHER QUALITY oral healthcare for all here in the US and globally and he’s attacking it a few different ways that may surprise you. After building his 2005 scratch practice based on his focus on building rapport and collaboration with patients in providing actual comprehensive care, he sold the practice and pivoted his career to expand his impact on dentists and patients. He consulted with other dentists, even dabbled with a dental tech startup and then pursued a MPH (masters in public health).
This led to discovering a passion and talent for teaching with a more practical and creative approach to D3 and D4s at dental school where he confronted concerning behaviors and direction of the administration. He left the school recently after speaking up publicly about what he was seeing which has since expanded the conversation more by what others are experiencing in their institutions.
Dan continues to speak out and advocate for aspiring and current dental students, younger dentists, the profession and of course for the public, our patients. He still treats patients part time, is exploring more direct ways to continue to teach dentists and other opportunities to work and get involved with grassroots public health endeavors for dental care.

Have you ever been frustrated with a product and said "Hey, I can do this better?" I think we all have and have often wondered how we can make that change. Well Dr. Matt Burton decided to take action on those thoughts.
Dr. Matthew Burton, DDS has worked as an established dental practitioner in Illinois since 2008. Like most dentists, his schedule was filled with one of the most common procedures: the Class II composite restoration. After several years in his practice working on hundreds of fillings, Dr. Burton became frustrated with the available Class II matrix systems. He tried nearly every system, but none of them provided the efficiency and consistent results he was seeking. He found that the major difficulty lies in properly placing and wedging the matrix bands. If not performed correctly, it cost him valuable time, required unnecessary & timely post polymerization adjustments, and ultimately led to a lack of confidence in the procedure. Furthermore, Dr. Burton has discovered tha…

DINKS with Dr. John Kois of the Kois Center
Dr. Kois is legendary. Many have heard of him. Many have learned from him. Everyone that comes into contact with him speaks of how amazing he is. Rather than sharing a bio, let me share a little about his teaching style directly from the Kois Center website:

John’s first passion…
