From tooth extractions and flap design to bone grafting and sticky bone application, they walk through the case step-by-step—candidly discussing the mental, emotional, and technical evolution required to level up in dentistry.\n \n00:36 – Welcome & Live Surgery Setup\n03:13 – Overcoming Fear in Extractions\n04:50 – Flap Design & Visualization\n06:47 – Managing Complications & Staying Calm\n10:12 – Confidence After One Surgery\n12:31 – Teaching vs. Mentoring in Clinical Growth\n\nWho is Dr. Sully Sullivan?\n \nDr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months.\n \nAs a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level. Dr. Sully lectures around the country on cone beam technology, cad/cam dentistry, obstructive sleep apnea, and practice management. He is also an ambassador for the 3D-Dentist teaching facility in Raleigh, NC.\n \nAs always, thanks so much for listening!
