Talk Dental to Me

In this episode, we’re speaking with someone who’s taken a bold and inspiring leap — from scaling teeth to scaling implant solutions. Thomas Clark-Otton spent many years building career as an oral health therapist, building a strong foundation in patient care and preventative dentistry and now pivoted into navigating the cutting edge of surgical technology and digital workflows, working as an implant solutions specialist with Straumann Australia.  In this episode, we’ll explore how he made that transition, what it's like working on the industry side of dentistry, and the skills that helped him bridge the clinical-to-corporate gap. Whether you're curious about career pivots, passionate about implants, or just love a good story — you’re going to want to stick around.
