Join Dr. John Flucke, a dedicated Technology Evangelist, as he hosts Dr. Chris Griffin on Episode 11 of The Technology Evangelist Podcast, proudly sponsored by Medidenta Digital Solutions. This episode features Dr. Griffin, a dentist from Ripley, Mississippi, who has transformed dental care through his innovative use of 3D printing and milling. Dr. Griffin shares his unique path from engineering at Mississippi State University to dentistry at the University of Tennessee, graduating in 1998. Returning to his hometown, he began as an associate before establishing a fee-for-service cosmetic practice, overcoming challenges like a high-volume PPO practice and a 2009 flood by adopting lean management. After a 2013 fire, he rebuilt with in-house memberships, and during COVID-19, he embraced 3D printing for dentures, orthodontics, and laser dentistry, reducing external lab dependencies.
