The Story of 2 Superpowers in DentistryEpisode #586 with Dr. Amanda Seay &amp; Dr. Adamo NotarantonioEvery superhero has their origin story, and so does every superfan. Today, Kirk Behrendt brings in two superheroes of dentistry, Dr. Amanda Seay and Dr. Adamo Notarantonio, the founders of imP.R.E.S. dental courses, to share how they met and what drove them to create one of the most transformational courses you can invest in.

For me, transactional CE sometimes are those that — not that it's bad. You go to learn something specific, or maybe you go because you want to hear someone speak. They're there at the podium to give you some information, but there's no engagement. There's no follow-up. Meaning, if you have a question about what was taught after the class, you’ve got to figure out how to get that answer maybe from another colleague, internet, whatever. And you can do that — there are lots of little courses like that. But the transformational ones are the ones where there's a relationship. There's follow-through.” (35:27—36:17) -Dr. Seay“The first transformational CE I had was at the Kois Center. John Kois is, of course, the head of that whole center, and he is faculty. But he is the one that teaches that entire curriculum, and he's such a big, famous guy. I remember going there for the first time, and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I have this question. I still don't get it.’ Like, I still don't get it, but I'm so afraid to bother him. I don't want to go up there. So, I went up and I asked, and he asked questions back to test my understanding of, ‘Why do you think this? Tell me why. I'm not saying you're wrong but tell me why you think this.’ And I'm telling him all this stuff, and he could sense my confusion. He's like, ‘Can you meet me tomorrow at 6:00 a.m.? Let's go over this case.’ And I remember that moment. I'm like, ‘You're going to help me.’ Like, I'm no one. You've got thousands of students that you see every year. And he did. I remember leaving that course that week and coming home. I'm like, ‘He cares. He wants to see us better, and he's invested.’ Yes, we paid thousands of dollars to go to the Kois Center and learn from a great educator. But it extends beyond the transaction. And so, I hoped that when I stepped into the educator role that I could achieve the same thing.” (36:20—37:54) -Dr. Seay“I'll tell you, the question that I get all the time from young dentists is knowing where to start, where to begin to get on this track to do the same kind of dentistry. And, of course, CE is important. But I think you need to have a place that's going to teach you the treatment planning, the diagnosis, the comprehensive dentistry, the occlusion. Whether it be Spear, Kois, or Pankey, find your home to learn that because I think that's critical.” (44:18—44:50) -Dr. Seay“For cosmetics, if that's what you want to get into, the AACD is a great place to start because it's inexpensive for so many cosmetic educators under one roof. We’re there, and all of our friends that are educators are there. So, for a very small tuition price, you get a little sampling of all these different educators. And then, when you do that, you can decide, ‘All right. Well, I really like this person,’ or that person, and then make a plan. Make a budget and a plan to say, ‘This is how much I can spend this year on CE.’ And that's the cost of closing your practice, travel. And be intentional about your plan so that you're not just sitting around saying, ‘When I have more money. When I have more money,’ because you're never going to have more money. I mean, I had nothing but debt coming out of school. You have to say, ‘This is how much I'm willing to spend and invest into myself.’ When you're intentional about it, even if you fall short of taking maybe that fifth course that you want to take that year, you've taken three instead of not taking anything, and you slowly chip away at it.” (44:54—46:06) -Dr. Seay“I think one of the biggest problems that we're seeing now — and it's not their fault. I took eight years to finish the course curriculum, and I was getting accredited. I was trying to do everything. But you can only do so much and comprehend it. This younger generation — and I know there are a lot of students on this. I think they should really listen to what I'm about to say and let it marinate for a second because they have the world too easy. What do I mean by that? I'm hungry. DoorDash. Boom, it's there in 10 minutes. I need groceries. Instacart. Boom, a button in one second. I want to learn how to do sinus lifts. YouTube — no. No, no. There's a reason that our courses are 25% lecture and 75% hands-on, because we are firm believers in, you want to learn a Class IV composite, you're going to do it five times in our course, and you’d better do it 50 times on a plastic tooth the next week if you want to develop it.” (46:27—47:28) -Dr. Notarantonio“Everybody now, because of social media, Instagram, and all this, they see all these people with so many followers, and they want to be famous. And they're missing the point. You need to educate yourself at a pace that you're capable of understanding it, and apply it, and then you go to the next step. I didn't get my fellowship for one year. It took me six years. I did 1,000 cases for the 50 I put in. I learned every one, and I got better. Life is too easy now. Everybody can get anything in half a second, and they don't want to put in the work that Amanda put in to get where she is, that I put in to get where I am. They think we woke up, threw a case on Instagram, and all of a sudden, we're famous. It's not true.” (47:30—48:10) -Dr. Notarantonio“I understand how [through social media dentists] can become enamored with, ‘Oh, this is the lifestyle of a cosmetic dentist who lectures,’ or whatever it may be. But what they don't see is that we're grinding it out in a storage unit, counting compules of composite for our courses, bagging them, labeling them, and doing — I mean, there's a lot of not-sexy stuff that we do behind the scenes that we don't always show. And his resident, Sarah, who helps us with our courses, the first time she came to help us prep for the course and clean up, she looked at us, and she's like, ‘Oh my gosh. I had no idea of all that you guys do. I didn't even know how you do this.’ And there's no magic button. There's no like, ‘Take this CE, and all of this will magically come to you.’ You've got to work. You've got to grind it out. You've got to fail. You think you're going to go home, take your first photo, and it's going to look good. No. You're going to do your first composite, and it's not going to look good. But you keep doing it. You get up, and each time, you get better.” (48:34—49:46) -Dr. Seay“I think photography is absolutely essential. I think that you can't really evaluate your own work if you don't know how to take a photo. And you can't get better if you can't take good photos. You can't get better outcomes if you can't take good photos. Dr. Brian LeSage says don't let your photography hurt your dentistry.” (51:10—51:40) -Dr. Seay“[The rubber dam isolation course is also important]. Let's go back to the highlight reel. You see somebody slap on 20 veneers on every single patient, and then, a) some people, you don't know how they even cemented them. B) you see some of the video, and I cringe because I'm like, ‘There's saliva all over the teeth.’ I'm like, ‘Wait a second.’ Yes, you want to be famous, and cosmetic, and blah, blah, blah. But is your stuff going to last? And what is the foundation for everything we do in our office, with the exception of surgery? It’s bonding. You cannot bond without good isolation. There's no argument. I don't care if people say there's no data, or research, or this and that. You cannot bond if you get moisture contamination. So, how do you do that? Rubber dam. So, you could take our class for a composite course and make beautiful composites. But do you know how to stick the composite to the tooth? You could take our veneer course and learn how to prep, smile design, or injection mold. Can you make it stay as long as humanly possible?” (51:52—52:50) -Dr. NotarantonioSnippets:0:00 Introduction.2:02 Dr. Notarantonio’s background.7:33 Dr. Seay’s background.12:44 The story behind how they met.19:58 How they started ImP.R.E.S.25:24 Their individual superpowers.27:54 Dr. Notarantonio’s “why”. 31:31 Dr. Seay’s “why”.35:13 Transformational versus transactional, explained.39:00 Dr. Seay and Dr. Notarantonio’s current and future courses.44:02 Last thoughts.46:07 It takes hard work to be a dentist.50:03 More about ImP.R.E.S and how to get in touch.Dr. Amanda Seay DDS, FAGD, FAACD Bio:Dr. Amanda Seay is the award-winning Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Clinical Director of Expertise Dental in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Story of 2 Superpowers in Dentistry - Dr. Amanda Seay & Dr. Adamo Notarantonio

Why Most Social Media is BSEpisode #476 with Dr. Adamo NotarantonioThere are good things that social media can do for dentistry. But there's a bad and ugly side that every dentist should be aware of. And today, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Adamo Notarantonio, co-founder of the imPRES courses, to highlight what we already know: most social media is BS! Every gorgeous image is the result of education, practice, and a billion more of hours of practice. Don't be discouraged by what you see! To learn the good, bad, and ugly of social media and how to stay motivated, listen to Episode 476 of The Best Practices Show!Episode Resources:Dr. Notarantonio’s social media: @adamoelvis Dr. Notarantonio’s courses: https://imprescourses.com/Subscribe to the Best Practices Show PodcastJoin the To The Top Study ClubSee our Live Events Schedule hereGet the Best Practices Magazine for Free!Write a Review on iTunesMain Takeaways:Understand the good, the bad, and the ugly of social media.Don't strive for perfection — no one can be perfect.Practice, practice, and practice some more.Be authentic on social media.Get educated — a lot.Quotes:“A cool part of social media for the younger generation [is] they could see what the possibilities are. But I think they have to realize and understand that to get to the level of the educator that we all look up to, like a John Kois or Frank Spear or Gregg Kinzer or Amanda Seed — do you know how much work they had to do to get to that level?” (9:33—9:57)“Instagram is great to meet people. I have great friends — I use it as advertising for my courses. Obviously, that's great. But the amount of work that I do behind closed doors to get to the level that I'm practicing at right now, the younger generation can't fathom because they want — and not to their fault — everything is so fast; the click of a button on a phone, boom, boom. That's not the secret to success.” (9:57—10:19)“We all have work out there we’re not proud of. Maybe the patient loved it. Maybe it wasn't our best. But you learn from it. That's the whole point.” (10:36—10:44)“To do composites at the level I'm doing, I failed a thousand times. I redid 10,000 of them. I practiced a billion times. And I think that gets lost now because, ‘Oh, you need food? Okay, DoorDash. Two seconds. You want this? Boom. Five seconds.’ That's not reality.” (10:45—11:03)“I don't want to bash social media altogether and say it’s BS — it’s not. It’s great for certain things. And I see it more with the younger generation, ‘Hey, teach me how to do,’ or, ‘What camera did you use?’ And I want to reply to them like, ‘I'll send you my camera. You still won't take that picture because you don't understand the settings and the lighting and all that.’ The better question would be like, ‘Hey, where can I go to learn that?’ And I will say, ‘Take this course. Take that course.’” (11:08—11:32)“Social media shows you the before and the after with the nice car and nice clothes. The amount of work that you need to do to get there, everybody wants to overlook that.” (13:59—14:09)“In the sense of how it’s good, [social media] made me what I am or where I am right now.” (14:45—14:49)“The other good part [of social media], you meet amazing people. I'm in a group chat with probably 50 dentists around the world. Their work, every day I'm like, ‘Oh my god. That's insane.’ So, it’s cool for the exposure, to see stuff that — we would've never heard of half these people. And they wouldn't have a shot to come up if we weren't able to notice them. So, I think that's the good, for me.” (16:02—16:24)“My advice to anybody who wants more referrals in a specific area, well, then become the best in that area. And then, all referrals are going to come to you.” (19:07—19:14)“What drives me nuts is when people put a before-and-after, something almost ridiculous, and they're like, ‘Oh, I did that in one visit.’ I'm like, ‘Come on.’ Listen, nobody’s ego needs to be stroked. That's a year-long process, six months long. Explain it. Say it. Even if you don't give your exact steps, that's fine. Because, like I said, you can't teach that kind of dentistry in a post. It’s impossible. So, just say, ‘Hey, this patient went through a full-mouth rehabilitation. It took six months,’ so on and so forth.” (23:41—24:16)“I think the bad stuff is, other people see it who are not trained. They look at it and they go, ‘Oh, he did that in one visit. I could do that.’ And that's a nightmare for a patient — a complete and utter nightmare — because the proper protocols, the proper sequence, the proper treatment wasn't taken into account. It was all for a before and an after. And I think that's what kills me about social media.” (24:17—24:45)“I try to [post photos] that I think are educational. There are some that I don't like that I don't think 80% of my following would even notice what I don't like. But that's the cool thing about your education. As you get better, you see more than you did 10 years ago. I wouldn't have noticed stuff that I see now 10 years ago because my eye wasn’t trained as well. I just think that [social media] is too much [about the] before-and-after.” (24:56—25:20)“Everybody wants it fast. They want it done. And they miss the diagnosis, the risk assessment — all the stuff we put into every single case, that I put up and I know people that I'm close to put up. There's so much more to it. And it’s very hard to control because it’s social media. It is what it is. But I wish that people took a step back and realized it’s a cool platform to share and have discussions, but it’s not the Bible for dentistry. You have to go get educated. And I think that's very overlooked in a lot of areas.” (25:21—25:59)“With social media, all you want is perfection, ‘I want the perfect before-and-after.’ No. You want to fail, and fail again, and fail again. Because once you can say to me, ‘You know what, doc? I should've used a chromatic enamel instead of an achromatic,’ boom, my class was worth every penny that you just spent, 100%.” (27:42—28:00)“I get messages at least monthly where I have somebody that I mentor — and I mentor a boatload of people, especially for accreditation — and they say, ‘I need to quit dentistry. I'll never do the work that I see up on social media, and my work sucks, and I'm a horrible dentist.’ And I'm like, ‘Listen to me carefully. Social media is a highlight reel. That is the one best case that that person had that month or year, and they photographed it seven different angles and got seven posts out of it. That's not what they do every day. And I'm going to be honest, the stuff you see on mine, it ain't what I do every day either, because not everyone turns out that damn perfect.’” (29:04—29:44)“The ugly part of social media is it can be very depressing for a lot of people.” (31:39—31:43)Snippets:0:00 Introduction.2:37 Dr. Notarantonio’s background.4:52 Being an Elvis fan.8:11 Why social media is BS.12:01 Practice, practice, practice.14:18 The positives of social media.16:46 How to get more referrals.19:14 More advice for dentists.22:58 The bad of social media.25:59 Educate with your posts.28:00 The ugly side of social media.32:33 What’s on the horizon for Dr. Notarantonio.35:39 Dr. Notarantonio’s courses and how to get in touch.  Dr. Adamo E.

Why Most Social Media is BSEpisode #476 with Dr. Adamo NotarantonioThere are good things that social media can do for dentistry. But there's a bad and ugly side that every dentist should be aware of. And today, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Adamo Notarantonio, co-founder of the imPRES courses, to highlight what we already know: most social media is BS! Every gorgeous image is the result of education, practice, and a billion more of hours of practice. Don't be discouraged by what you see!

But I think they have to realize and understand that to get to the level of the educator that we all look up to, like a John Kois or Frank Spear or Gregg Kinzer or Amanda Seed — do you know how much work they had to do to get to that level?” (9:33—9:57)“Instagram is great to meet people. I have great friends — I use it as advertising for my courses. Obviously, that's great. But the amount of work that I do behind closed doors to get to the level that I'm practicing at right now, the younger generation can't fathom because they want — and not to their fault — everything is so fast; the click of a button on a phone, boom, boom. That's not the secret to success.” (9:57—10:19)“We all have work out there we’re not proud of. Maybe the patient loved it. Maybe it wasn't our best. But you learn from it. That's the whole point.” (10:36—10:44)“To do composites at the level I'm doing, I failed a thousand times. I redid 10,000 of them. I practiced a billion times. And I think that gets lost now because, ‘Oh, you need food? Okay, DoorDash. Two seconds. You want this? Boom. Five seconds.’ That's not reality.” (10:45—11:03)“I don't want to bash social media altogether and say it’s BS — it’s not. It’s great for certain things. And I see it more with the younger generation, ‘Hey, teach me how to do,’ or, ‘What camera did you use?’ And I want to reply to them like, ‘I'll send you my camera. You still won't take that picture because you don't understand the settings and the lighting and all that.’ The better question would be like, ‘Hey, where can I go to learn that?’ And I will say, ‘Take this course.

Why Most Social Media is BS Dr. Adamo Notarantonio

No BS Interview on Digital PhotographyEpisode #281 with Dr. Adamo NotarantonioIf you want to be a good dentist, you need a digital camera — and know how to use it! In today’s podcast, Kirk Behrendt brings in Dr. Adamo Notarantonio to teach you why. Not only is it a way to display your work, but it is also an effective way to communicate with patients and prospective patients. To learn about other benefits of good photography in your practice, listen to Episode 281 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Work ethic leads to success. Put the time in.You need good photography in dentistry.Dentists need social media. Instagram is free advertising!Understand the materials you're working with to be a better photographer. You will never be a good dentist without a digital camera. Quotes:“One of my biggest pet peeve questions I get when I show my photos on Instagram is, ‘What camera did you use?’ And I'm like, ‘Listen, I can physically send you my camera with my SD card, and you'll never take a picture like me. Why? Because you don't understand light. You don't understand camera settings.’ You have to put the time and hours in to understand this to create the kind of work that you see that these guys create.” (11:28—11:52)“I don't know how anybody practices without a digital camera. I think you're nuts if you do. But if you can start getting into the artistic stuff, and it doesn't have to be crazy, the amount of advertising — I get so many patients from Instagram. And we used to spend $10,000 on 30,000 flyers to five local zip codes and get patients looking for deals, not looking for quality.” (15:59—16:20)“A lot of people will ask, if I post a composite, ‘Which composite?’ That's really not the question you should ask. ‘What camera?’ It doesn't really matter, to be honest. You need to understand how the composite I'm working with handles, what color is it really, how does it reflect light, and stuff like that.” (18:50—19:07)“If you're not taking before and after photos of your work constantly, which is what I do, how are you going to improve?” (23:31—23:37)“When you're able to display your work at the highest level, they come to you. You don't even have to do anything anymore.” (32:48—32:56)Snippets:Dr. Notarantonio’s background. (03:32—06:32)Denzel Washington’s garbage truck story.
