Cracked Teeth and Dentistry’s Tough Questions with Dr Lane Ochi – PDP175

Dr Lane Ochi is such a legend that I wanted to throw ALL of Dentistry’s tough questions at him – and as you guys requested, it’s MOSTLY about CRACKS!

Dr Ochi practiced in Beverley Hills for 43 years and embodies the Protrusive values of a lifelong learner, avid sharer and with so much humility.

Dr Lane Ochi and another of my mentors Dr Michael Melkers will be visiting London on 27th and 28th July in London for a 2 Day course. Click here to book on!
