OM DENNE EPISODE
Dr Jan Kielhorn's interview on the Smile Business Diaries podcast covers a range of topics, offering insights into his unique approach to dentistry and clinic management. He discusses the importance of data-driven decision-making when choosing a location for his clinic and the design of his office to create a patient-centric space that is adaptable for future changes. A key part of his practice is the emphasis on protocols and staff training, which he believes is essential because staff is temporary. He discusses his approach of training his staff from the ground up, as well as his belief in giving them a high level of autonomy and responsibility. Dr Kielhorn highlights his interdisciplinary approach, working with his wife who is a pediatric dentist, which creates a family-focused practice. He also discusses his holistic approach to dentistry, emphasizing the medical aspects and overall health of patients. Dr Kielhorn also shares his experiences with DSD and how it has transformed his practice by providing structure and an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on the end result first. He is critical of closed interfaces in digital dentistry and advocates for open systems and a fully digital workflow. He underscores the value of a global perspective, seeking out knowledge from various sources and learning from the best in different fields. He also talks about the importance of having a strong professional network and sharing knowledge with others.
