Pterygoids Reduce Failures – How adopting pterygoid anchorage dramatically lowered complications from tilted maxillary implants.

Seats are limited - register now to secure your spot. https://products.sharedpractices.com/tfap-intro-to-aox-2026 In this episode of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Steven Vorholt sits down with Dom Thompson, videographer and creative partner behind much of the SPG content, to talk about why documenting your journey matters more than trying to be perfect on camera. They dig into the real world of content creation for dentists and practice owners β€” how to be authentic, how to avoid overthinking, why consistency beats aesthetics, and how storytelling builds trust more effectively than any polished marketing script.

Consistency Over Perfection – Quality improves naturally when you show up often β€” not when you wait to feel ready. Story Builds Trust – Patients buy from people they feel connected to, and content is how you stay top of mind long before they need treatment. 🎧 Listen to Episode 145: Content is King with Dom Thompson to learn why your story is your most valuable asset β€” and how showing up online can drive trust, connection, and growth for your practice.
