Welcome to the 156th episode of the Tooth or Dare Podcast with Irene Iancu (@toothlife.irene) and this week's guest Dr. Steven Vorholt (@vorholtdds), co-hosted by Dr. Craig Harder. Starting a dental business from scratch obviously requires a lot of money, time and effort - and then you need patients to actually come to you. But what if you could bring dentistry to your patients instead? That’s exactly what Dr. Vorholt decided to do, while still coming home every night to his family. Tune in to hear how he maintains work and life responsibilities using his experiences running a private practice, and reflections on lessons learned from a failed business partnership. Dr. Steven Vorholt: Dr. Vorholt was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and later moved to Columbus, Ohio to attend college. He graduated with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery from The Ohio State University in 2013. Shortly after graduation, Dr. Vorholt started a private practice in the Columbus area. Immersing himself in as much continuing education as possible, he eventually developed a great passion for dental implant surgery. In 2019 after 6 years of building a successful general practice in Ohio, he followed his passion and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona to take a full time position focusing solely on implant placement and restorations and also worked in dental education. He taught courses such as Basic Implantology, Sinus Grafting, Full Arch Overdentures, Implant Complications, 3D Printing Surgical Guides and more. Dr. Vorholt also helped over 1,000 dentists place over 12,000 implants in his time in live surgery education. In 2021 Dr. Vorholt received his Diplomate in the American Board of Oral Implantology. In 2022 he became a Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and was asked to present at the AAID Annual Conference for two different workshops and lectures. He lectures nationally on all topics of dental implants and loves to partake in CE from other great educators whenever given the chance. In late 2022 Dr. Vorholt decided it was time to re-enter private practice. He moved to Santa Barbara California with his family and opened Santa Barbara Dentures and Implants, an implant-focused practice serving the Central Coast of California.
