#11 - DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY with Dr. Matthew Youssef

Welcome to Season 2 of the podcast!

Implants are becoming a bigger part general practice with more dentists now incorporating dental implants as a treatment modality. If it’s something you are considering introducing or incorporating into your own treatments you’ll find this episode to be quite helpful. I have a chat with Dr. Matthew Youssef who has had extensive training and experience in the field of Dental Implantology. Matt enjoys the pursuit of learning so much that he has undertaken hundreds of hours of CPD and post graduate training programs to expand his knowledge and further his skills. Matt is now at the point where he has his own dental education academy  - The Australasian Restorative and Implant Academy (a.k.a. ARIA).  We of course talk all things implants and high end treatments but also delve into other areas of dentistry: treatment planning, stress, work life balance and the importance of looking after oneself.

I had a great time chatting with Matt and I hope you enjoy this conversation!
