“Education must be practical, profitable, and personal.” — Dr. Patrick Lillis

The science? Solid. The implications? Huge.

Dr. Patrick Lillis joins Inside the Practice to share his path from private practice to national lecturer. Known for his focus on full-mouth rehab and aesthetic dentistry, Dr. Lillis brings real-world insight to what today’s dental professionals are missing—and what they need most.

What Drives Great Clinicians?
Dr. Lillis reveals how teaching transformed his own clinical standards and why sharing knowledge is essential to staying sharp in dentistry.

The New Reality for Dental Education
With debt and time constraints dominating young dentists’ decisions, the future is hybrid. Online for access, in-person for relationships and depth.

Diagnosis is the Missing Link
Younger clinicians lack depth in diagnosis and treatment planning. Dr. Lillis explains why this skill is the foundation for clinical and business success.

Mentorship is Everything
Dentistry may be clinical, but success is personal. Lillis discusses how real mentorship—and showing up for others—shapes careers and the future of the field.

Small, Smart, and Local is the Future
Forget mega-conferences. Dr. Lillis is all in on small, specialist-led study groups where relationships, trust, and practical CE create lasting impact.

"Teeth are teeth. People are people. But it's the relationships that change everything." This episode is essential listening for every dentist committed to growth, excellence, and giving back.
