Are you still planning restorative cases by focusing primarily on individual teeth, or have you started thinking about the entire face? This fundamental shift from tooth-centered to facial-driven treatment planning represents one of the most significant changes happening in modern dentistry. Dr. Richard Martin brings over two decades of clinical experience as an oral surgeon practicing in Lewisville, Texas since 2002. A graduate of New York University Dental School where he was elected to Omicron Kappa Epsilon and graduated with full honors in Oral Surgery, Dr. Martin completed his residency at Harlem Hospital, Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he was appointed chief resident. He furthered his training with a one-year Fellowship at the Oral Surgical Institute in Nashville. Beyond his clinical expertise, Dr. Martin is an innovator who has developed more than 20 dental instruments throughout his career. This episode explores the revolutionary integration of 3D facial scanning technology with traditional digital workflows, demonstrating how facial scanners are transforming treatment planning from a tooth-centered approach to a comprehensive facial-driven methodology.
