#102 - Fix Up, Look Sharp! With Shiraz Khan
Fix Up, Look Sharp! With Shiraz Khan This week’s guest is winner of the Fast Track 4 award for future leaders in dentistry. But this conversation proves that dentistry’s best-dressed Shiraz Khan is leading the way in so many ways right now. Dentist, lecturer and trainer Shiraz reveals how he went into a high profile role almost fresh from dentistry school and talks life on the lecture circuit (and the nerves that go with it). Shiraz also weighs in on the porcelain vs composites debate. Enjoy! “On my composite courses, I show the first-ever composite I ever photographed. And the reason I love doing that is that it brings me back to level pegs.” Shiraz Khan In This Episode 01.06 - Backstory09.26 - On dancing15.13 - First job & inspirational mentor16.41 - Lecturing & training28.48 - Documenting cases33.31 - Blackbox thinking39.18 - Working with Koray Feran47.00 - Composite Vs porcelain Vs edge bonding57.53 - Putting training into practice01.03.20 - The patient journey01.08.34 - Consumer ortho, AI and Turkey Teeth01.15.15 - Last days and legacy About Shiraz Khan Shiraz Khan graduated from Birmingham Dental School in 2013 and trained in restorative dentistry at Croydon University Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’.
