In Episode 13 of the All In, All On X Podcast, Adam Hogan, DDS sits down with Dr. Bruce Smoler—a legacy clinician and modern operator who’s been practicing since 1987—to unpack what it really takes to build a durable practice and stay relevant in a rapidly changing world of implant dentistry. This conversation blends real-world practice ownership with high-level implant dentistry strategy: leadership, mentorship, and systems that scale—plus the clinical philosophies that separate “headline dentistry” from long-term, consistent results. Dr. Smoler shares how he transitioned out of day-to-day general dentistry while maintaining a multi-decade community legacy, and how he’s structuring the next generation of growth through mentorship, training, and culture. You’ll hear practical insights on: All-on-X / full-arch implant dentistry mindset: purpose-driven care, transforming lives, and building trust-based patient relationshipsHiring and developing associates in implant dentistry (mentorship, training ROI, and building a “resident-style” pathway)The reality check on DSO promises vs. real-world implant dentistry growth and competencyDigital workflow myths: why buying tech doesn’t magically create a full-arch practice (CBCT, facial scanning, photogrammetry, in-office milling)Guided and dynamic tech in implant dentistry: dynamic navigation (X-Guide / X-Nav) vs static guides, and Dr. Smoler’s experience with robotic implant surgery (Yomi, haptic guidance)Advanced anchorage discussions in implant dentistry including pterygoids, zygomatic implants (zygotes), trans-sinus concepts, and having “more tools in the toolbox”Managing mental bandwidth as a practice owner: vision boards, idea capture systems, prioritization frameworks, and keeping the team alignedA hilarious and surprisingly effective patient engagement “Queen Treatment” prescription—plus how small moments can create massive word-of-mouth marketingIf you’re serious about implant dentistry, All-on-X, full-arch workflow, and building a practice that lasts decades—this episode is equal parts entertaining and deeply useful.

In Part 2 of this in-depth conversation, Adam Hogan continues his discussion with Dan Holtzclaw, shifting deeper into the business realities, clinical misconceptions, and long-term sustainability of modern dentistry—with a strong focus on implant dentistry and full-arch care. Dr. Holtzclaw draws from extensive experience in corporate dentistry, private practice, academia, and implant education to break down what truly drives success (and failure) in dental practices. From understanding overhead and scaling responsibly to navigating acquisitions, valuation, and post-sale challenges, this episode offers unfiltered insight into the operational side of dentistry that most clinicians are forced to learn the hard way. The conversation also addresses common misconceptions in implant dentistry, including why many perceived implant or full-arch failures are misattributed to implants rather than diagnosis, treatment planning, or restorative decisions. Dr. Holtzclaw explains how experience, mentorship, and real-world exposure are critical for predictable outcomes in full-arch implant cases, All-on-X workflows, and complex rehabilitations.

In this wide-ranging and candid episode of the All In, All On X Podcast, Adam Hogan sits down with Dan Holtzclaw to explore the realities shaping modern dentistry—clinically, financially, and philosophically—with a forward-looking focus on full-arch implant dentistry. Dr. Holtzclaw brings decades of experience spanning military service, academia, corporate dentistry, and private practice ownership. Together, they unpack what today’s dentists are rarely taught in school: retirement planning, financial discipline, scaling practices responsibly, and building a sustainable career in an increasingly competitive dental landscape. The conversation dives deep into the evolution of implant dentistry, including how misconceptions around implant failures—particularly in full-arch and All-on-X cases—often stem from misdiagnosis rather than true surgical error. Dr. Holtzclaw shares insight into how experience, mentorship, and real-world training play a critical role in long-term success with fixed full-arch restorations, immediate-load protocols, and complex implant cases. Listeners will also gain perspective on: Why many dentists never truly plan for retirement—and how that impacts career longevityThe strengths and shortcomings of modern dental education, including the role of digital dentistryHow corporate dentistry influences business systems, efficiency, and scalabilityWhy location, marketing strategy, and competition analysis are critical to practice growthHow dental journals and continuing education shape (and sometimes mislead) clinical decision-makingThe future of full-arch dentistry, implant specialization, and emerging dental technologiesThis episode blends clinical insight with real-world business strategy, making it especially valuable for implant dentists, full-arch clinicians, practice owners, and dentists considering All-on-X workflows. Whether you’re early in your career or planning your legacy, this discussion offers hard-earned lessons on adapting, evolving, and building a practice—and life—that lasts. If you’re serious about full-arch implant dentistry, implant practice growth, and the future of fixed full-arch care, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of the All In, All On X Podcast, Dr. Adam Hogan is joined by Brandon Kofford, founder of Smart On X and Smart Denture Conversions, for an in-depth discussion on what truly drives success and sustainability in full arch dentistry. Rather than focusing on products alone, this conversation explores the underlying systems, principles, and decision-making that separate scalable full-arch practices from those constantly fighting complications. Hogan and Kofford break down why variability—not skill—is often the biggest threat to predictability, profitability, and long-term enjoyment in full arch workflows. A central theme of the episode is the importance of reducing friction in immediate-load dentistry. From provisional fractures and component selection to inventory management and chair-time efficiency, the discussion highlights how small inefficiencies compound into major operational and emotional costs for clinicians. The goal, they argue, is not perfection—but repeatability under real-world pressure. The episode also tackles a critical educational gap in modern implant dentistry: the tendency to chase digital solutions without mastering foundational analog principles. Hogan explains why understanding prosthetics, occlusion, and “teeth in space” is essential before digital workflows can truly deliver their promised efficiency. Kofford reinforces that analog competency doesn’t slow clinicians down—it prevents costly mistakes and makes digital systems work as intended. Beyond clinical workflows, the conversation addresses the corporate realities of innovation in dentistry, including resistance to change, economic incentives, and the challenges faced by clinician-led solutions that disrupt established revenue models. Kofford shares insight into navigating these pressures while staying focused on improving outcomes for both doctors and patients. The episode concludes with a preview of the upcoming Dental Implant Face-Off, a unique live event bringing experienced clinicians together to openly discuss why they choose specific implant systems. The goal is not brand promotion, but transparency—helping doctors understand the real-world tradeoffs, logic, and biases behind implant selection. This episode is a candid, experience-driven discussion for clinicians who want fewer complications, better systems, stronger fundamentals, and a clearer path forward in full arch dentistry.

In this episode of the All In, All On X Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Zack Brown, a dual-degree oral and maxillofacial surgeon, for a real-world conversation on full-arch implant dentistry beyond the highlight reel. From hospital-based surgery (TMJ, orthognathics, trauma, reconstruction) to advanced implant anchorage, Dr. Brown explains how surgical fundamentals—planning, hemostasis, flap management, and vigilance—translate directly into predictable long-term outcomes. We get into what actually drives failures and complications in full-arch cases, including occlusion, clenching, and the “it’ll buff out” mindset that can turn into serious problems over time. Dr. Brown shares hard-earned lessons from humbling cases, and he offers a clear perspective on when to avoid aggressive treatment, how to choose the right patient, and why expectation setting is often more important than the surgery itself. The conversation also goes deep on medical risk: thorough histories, hidden comorbidities, A1C/diabetes considerations, airway evaluation, BMI thresholds, and why sedation is often the most dangerous variable in the dental office. Finally, Dr. Brown speaks candidly about lifestyle, burnout prevention, and how prioritizing fitness, mental health, and family supports high performance in a demanding surgical career. Topics include: All-on-X decision-making, zygomas vs pterygoids vs transnasals, complication management, occlusion strategy, patient selection, medical history/A1C, sedation safety, mentorship, and continuous learning.

In this episode of the All In, All On X Podcast, Dr. Adam Hogan sits down with one of the most respected full-arch minds in the Lusophone world, Dr. Marcelo Zamperlini. Practicing between Brazil and Portugal, Marcelo is known for his precision in zygomatic surgery, mastery of digital workflows, and his ability to simplify complex concepts for clinicians worldwide. What begins with tech struggles, head colds, and friendly banter quickly turns into a powerful conversation about the evolution of full-arch dentistry, the influence of the pioneers, and the philosophies that guide Marcelo’s work. From his beginnings under giants like Brånemark and Migliorança to teaching thousands of surgeons across borders, Marcelo brings humility, clarity, and decades of experience to every topic. In This Episode• Origins & InfluencesMarcelo shares how he unexpectedly entered dentistry, the mentors who shaped him, and the early days of zygomatic implants—long before the world accepted them. He reflects on working with Brånemark, Migliorança, and Malo, and how those experiences created the foundation for his global impact. • Evolution of Full-Arch ConceptsThe two discuss the shift from “just place implants” to understanding bone reduction, smile lines, prosthetic space, hygiene, and proper treatment planning. Marcelo explains how much has changed since the early 2000s—especially after Malo introduced All-On-4 principles. • Mistakes, Growth & HumilityMarcelo openly revisits a 12-year-old failing case he once performed, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging mistakes, learning, evolving, and correcting complications with modern tools and techniques. • Zygos vs. Transnasal ImplantsMarcelo shares his real-world opinion: transnasal implants are primarily a rescue technique, not a first choice. They discuss anatomy limitations, bleeding risk, medico-legal concerns, and why quad zygomas are typically more predictable. Both stress that mastering complications—not just placing implants—is essential. • Soft Tissue, KG & Long-Term StabilityMarcelo calls himself “a maniac with KG,” stressing that incision design dictates long-term peri-implant success. They explore mechanical complications, prosthetic considerations, and why proper soft tissue management is non-negotiable. • Dentistry, Business & BurnoutThey discuss the realities of running a business, the three pillars every dentist must master (marketing/sales, administration, and clinical skills), and the myth of a “9–5 dental career.” Marcelo and Adam reflect on working long hours early in their careers—and the shift toward protecting their health, energy, and families. • Family, Purpose & PerspectiveBoth doctors talk about fatherhood, travel, and how being away from their kids is the hardest part of international teaching. Marcelo speaks about living between two countries, the instability of Brazil’s economy, and building a life and business abroad. • Teaching & Giving BackMarcelo describes his hands-on All-On-X and zygoma programs in Brazil and Portugal—high-volume, practical courses with real patients. He shares success stories from international students and emphasizes the joy of giving your gift away to the next generation.
