Dental Summit The Future of Dentistry

Builds at-home prevention products at ZERObrush. His session is about the gap between a hygiene protocol a patient agrees to in the chair and the one they are still following eight weeks later — and what closing that gap is worth to a practice that has already paid to acquire the patient.

The second half is unit economics: what it costs to stock, recommend and restock a prevention line, what margin survives after chair time and staff attention, and how to run it without turning the front desk into a retail counter or the hygienist into a salesperson.

Brings the clinical perspective on prevention: how patient behaviour actually determines outcomes, and how emerging oral-care technology becomes part of a working protocol rather than another product recommendation.

Practical throughout: what you hand a patient, what you can reasonably expect them to do with it, and how to tell at the next recall whether any of it is working.

Invests at Phase Two Ventures and shares the afternoon session with Dr. Morachis: what investors are seeing across dental technology and healthcare innovation, and which companies are attracting capital.

His half leans clinical — how a fund evaluates a diagnostic or AI claim, what evidence actually moves an underwriting decision, and how far the technology has to get before the market follows it.

Underwrites companies at Phase Two Ventures. His session is a candid account of what actually gets funded in this sector: what a fund is buying when it invests in a dental company, what makes it pass, and how often the deciding factor has little to do with the clinical merit of the product itself.

Aimed squarely at clinicians with an idea — what to have ready before a first conversation, what a term sheet is really asking of you, and the honest answer on when venture capital is the wrong instrument for the thing you are trying to build.

Builds surgical navigation at AssurTek Surgical and presents the 12:30 session on how surgical technology, digital workflows and new tooling are changing implant and oral-surgery procedures.

Her half covers what navigation can and cannot compensate for, what changes in the operatory around it — setup time, staffing, the learning curve nobody quotes in a demo — and where the technology is realistically heading over the next few product cycles.
