In one session: multiple-unit implant surgery, three immediates, a crestal lift, a delayed implant, a surgical wisdom tooth removal, and 7 crown preps.
This is what mentorship looks like in practice, experienced clinicians guiding complex cases in real time, so skills are built in surgery, not just seminars.
Comment āGROWTHā and weāll send you the full podcast episode.
We ask our patients to trust us with their smiles every day. But behind the scenes, we also trust each other with ours.
The other day, I watched fit a new crown for It was such a quick appointment, but it was a powerful reminder that expertise doesnāt replace trustāit strengthens it.
The best dentists never stop learning. They still ask questions, seek second opinions, value each otherās experience, and confidently sit in each otherās chairs when itās their own smile on the line.
Thatās the culture Iām proud to be part of.
Because when a team trusts each other enough to become each otherās patients, it says more than any marketing ever could.
Thatās Smile On culture.

Patients rarely respond to information alone. They respond to how that information is delivered. Your tone of voice, facial expression, pace, confidence, body language, and ability to listen often communicate far more than the words themselves.
Behavioural science also teaches us that people are often more motivated to avoid a loss than to pursue an equivalent gain. Rather than simply explaining the benefits of treatment, helping patients understand what they may lose by delaying or declining treatmentāfunction, comfort, bone, tooth structure, time, or future treatment optionsācan make the consequences clearer. This should always be done honestly, ethically, and without creating fear.
The goal is never to persuade someone into treatment.
The goal is to help them make an informed decision they truly understand.
Communication isnāt separate from dentistry.
It is dentistry.
Building.
Studying.
Teaching.
Creating.
Solving problems.
Resting? Thatās the skill Iām still learning.
For a long time, I viewed rest as something you earned after everything was done. The problem is that for ambitious people, everything is never done.
There is always another patient to help, another course to create, another goal to chase, another responsibility waiting.
But Iāve slowly learned that rest isnāt the opposite of productivity.
Itās what makes productivity sustainable.
The body whispers before it screams. The mind does too.
So if youāre someone who feels guilty for slowing down, this is your reminder that rest is not falling behind.
Sometimes rest is the work.
Iām still learning this one myself. š¤
It was Mental Health First Aid.
And it has made me a better dentist.
Not because Iām diagnosing mental health conditions in the surgery. Thatās not my role.
But because it taught me to see what might be sitting behind the chief complaint.
The patient who ājust wants a cleanā may be carrying years of shame.
The patient who keeps cancelling may not be difficult or disinterested.
The patient who hasnāt seen a dentist in a decade may not be neglectful.
Sometimes theyāre anxious.Sometimes theyāre overwhelmed.Sometimes theyāre grieving.Sometimes theyāre simply doing the best they can.
Mental health first aid taught me how to listen without judgment, respond without making things worse, and create a space where people feel safe enough to begin.
The longer I practice, the more convinced I become that oral health and mental health are deeply connected.
When we understand that, our consultations change.
Our language changes.
Our patience changes.
And often, our outcomes change too.
Because behind every set of teeth is a human being with a story.
And sometimes the most important thing we do is make sure they feel seen.

A few years ago, I was rebuilding a career.
Today, I find myself boarding planes before sunrise, flying into regional communities, mentoring clinicians, placing implants, teaching, learning, and stretching myself in ways I never imagined.
Growth is a beautiful thingābut it rarely happens inside your comfort zone.
Being a FIFO clinician has taught me that success is not just about adding more achievements to your CV. Itās about finding purpose in the work, staying connected to your values, and remembering why you started in the first place.
I am incredibly grateful to be part of a company that believes in investing in people, education, and patient care. To work alongside mentors who continue to challenge me, guide me, and share their knowledge so generously is something I never take for granted.
Every flight, every course, every difficult case, and every conversation is another opportunity to learn.
So today, my wish for you is this:
May your career grow.
May your opportunities expand.
May your confidence deepen.
But may your peace, your relationships, your health, and your sense of self never be the price you pay for success.
The goal isnāt simply to build a career.
Itās to build a life youāre proud to come home to. āļøš¤

Dr Shahana believes the reason patients continue to return to her, even with long wait times, comes down to one thing: trust and connection
Making patients feel heard, seen and genuinely cared for is one of the most important parts of being a clinician. Because great dentistry goes beyond treatment - itās about human connection.
Comment āTRUSTā and weāll send you the link to the full episode.
They choose the clinician who makes them feel understood. Makes them feel seen.
One of the most valuable qualifications Iāve gained isnāt in dentistry at allāitās becoming a certified NLP coach.
Why?
Because patients donāt always tell you whatās really going on and you need to read between the lines almost all the time.
āIāll think about it.ā
āIām not ready yet.ā
āIt seems expensive.ā
Often, those words arenāt the real objection.
Sometimes itās fear.
Sometimes itās embarrassment.
Sometimes itās a lack of trust.
Sometimes itās a previous experience they havenāt shared.
NLP taught me to listen beyond the words.
To pay attention to communication patterns, emotional cues, and the concerns that patients struggle to articulate.
It has helped me create a calmer, safer experience for anxious patients and build stronger connections from the very first conversation.
Perhaps more importantly, it has taught me about myself.
It has helped me recognise my own behaviour patterns, regulate my emotions under pressure, communicate more intentionally, and stay grounded when situations become challenging.
Clinical excellence will always matter.
But the ability to understand people, build trust, and help someone feel genuinely seenāthatās where great dentistry begins.
