The Dentalpreneur Podcast. Okay, doctor, it's time to put down that handpiece. You're listening to the show dedicated to helping dentists get their lives back. It's time to decrease your stress, increase your profitability, and regain your passion. Now introducing your host, Dr. Mark Costes.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Down Up On Our Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Mark Costes. Hey, friends. All right, this is a crossover episode featuring my great friend, Dr. Tom Pfau, who's an incredible surgeon and faculty over at the Colorado Surgical Institute. This was a webinar that we did inside DSN, and he talked about surgical complications. We'll be right back. We discussed planning for long-term success. Tom talked about why healthy tissue, prosthetics, and occlusion all matter after the surgery is done. And finally, we discussed keeping complications from escalating. We discussed pre-op planning and medical history, plus a memorable case that showed why it helps to pause and assess the situation instead of

plowing through when things get complicated.

All right, guys, I hope you enjoy this episode. It is a surgical episode, clinically-based episode, but I love Tom's
