One of the founding members and 4th president of the AACD, Dr. John Kanca DDS, discusses his early research papers about hardness and curing of composites written over 30 years ago. In 1989, Dr. Kanca spoke about etching dentin at the Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry meeting and was met with harsh opposition. As a pioneer in the dental industry, Dr. Kanca went on to create his own bonding solution and cementation that is now known nationwide as All-Bond. 

In 1976, Dr. Feffer started his own practice from the ground up knowing he wanted to head in his own direction. Although he had all the knowledge in dentistry, he was unsure how to market or run a business. Not wanting to compromise quality and consistency, Dr. Feffer, used Keating Dental Arts from the beginning. He soon learned that he needed to be proactive about growing his business and came up with his own marketing strategies that have made his practice successful. Dr. Feffer explains that dentists are not the competition, but rather every consumer company selling products\services. This means that the most important marketing tactic is knowing how to sell dentistry and make people desire your work.

Senior Technical Advisor, Brandon Fetters, joins us to demonstrate his passion for dentistry and the importance of his role in communication with dentists. As the middle man of advisement, Brandon, keeps a positive relationship with dentists and ensures that cases are flowing smoothly. His expertise of dentistry and laboratory products boosts dentists’ experience and advances the result of restorations. 

As more general practitioners are undertaking the complex task of placing their own implants, Keating’s goal is to make sure that the restoration is done correctly from the beginning the first time. Although there are many implant companies that offer cheaper solutions, there are major set backs that will result in underling problems with restoration and/or patient. If we notice an issue that will cause problems when evaluating each case, we contact the doctor immediately to construct the best implant option that will work for the patient. 

Special guest and Keating's first account, Richard Crossland DDS joins us via Skype from Clearwater, Florida to  discuss how Keating Dental Arts first began and the relationship Shaun and Richard have kept over the many years since. Dr. Crossland underlines the importance of having an outstanding dental laboratory to succeed in your practice.
