Real talk between different dental professionals to help the rest of us navigate our careers and get us to where we want to be.

Dentistry is changing fast — from new technologies and practice models to the growing focus on oral-systemic health. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Abdi Sameni, Clinical Associate Professor at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, founder of the Los Angeles Dental Symposium, and practicing clinician at WLA Dental Center in West Los Angeles. Known internationally for his work in dental photography, esthetics, and interdisciplinary care, Dr. Sameni brings decades of experience and perspective to what it takes to make a lasting impact in today’s profession.
We cover:
How dentistry has evolved and where it’s headed
How dental photography can improve diagnostics, treatment planning, and case acceptance
The real effect of DSOs on dentists and what it means for your future
What makes the LA Dental Symposium a standout event for clinicians
The critical connection between oral health and systemic health you can’t ignore
This episode is a must-listen for dentists who want to stay competitive, sharpen their skills, and build a career that lasts — while making a bigger impact on patients and the profession.
