The New Paradigm in All-on-X: Predictable, Proficient, and Profitable

A Presentation by Dr. John Phillips & Adam Ahokas at the 20th Anniversary Sunrise Dental Solutions Summit – Sept. 18-20, 2025

In this presentation, we’ll be addressing some of the most common challenges dentists face when restoring All-On-X cases such as rapidly changing technology, conflicting opinions, too many components, complex workflows, and rising costs. These issues can make even the most experienced clinicians feel overwhelmed. John and Adam have developed practical, proven solutions to help simplify the process. From helping you choose the right technology for your practice to streamlining workflows, reducing part counts, and offering fixed pricing, our goal is to support you every step of the way. By the end of the presentation, you’ll have the tools, clarity, and confidence to take on these cases more efficiently and predictably.
