Be good to end me

...

so sticky bone is [laughs] ...

Oh, there you go.

Um, no, you draw some blood, uh, for sticky bone.

So we draw blood that gets spinned in a centrifuge, pulls out some growth factors and a liquid.

So you're using normal bone graft material, like an allograft, the bone dust out of a vial.

Yep

You have the floor, Shane.

I think I could talk about this for as long as you wanted to go, but I knew, so I'd followed Sully and T-Bone, all their podcasts and stuff, all through dental school and like coming out of dental school and associateship and stuff.

And I kind of knew about 3D dentists through them.

And obviously T-Bone is in Raleigh, so he's not too far, not too far from me and was offering, you know, CE courses and stuff.

So I always kind of like looked at it and was, you know, maybe I should do it, maybe not.

I never did.

And then eventually I bought the practice and after running it for about six months or so, I was like, I have no clue what I'm doing.

Okay, right on.

Any thoughts on that or anything that you've seen around that?

I mean, I know when we finally launched it, I can remember a patient that scheduled himself over the weekend, I think, or Friday or something.

The AI agent scheduled him.

He came in and the treatment he needed was nothing fancy, but some tune-up type things.

And it pretty much paid for itself for the rest of the year off of that one treatment.

I

So it's just like, yeah, why would you not? Why would you not do

that? So yeah, the girls have loved it too, just from a team standpoint, because they know they have that support as well too.

So let's talk through the different ways you're using AI in the office.

I'm all in on AI and automation, uh, these days, and there's so many different, like, avenues.

Like, you see things online of, of AI schedulers, AI charters, AI, like, uh, X-rays, and softwares and stuff.

So we have several things in play at our office.

The first one we implemented, uh, was with our X-rays.

So we, we're, we use Overjet in our office.

What recently I have done and learned is that, um, obviously you can use that for calibration purposes, like when you look at the X-rays without the markers on it, and then you have people chart everything, whether that's, uh...

Yeah.
