Hello and welcome back for episode 29 of the Noobie Dentist Podcast, in this episode I sat down with Dr. Ivan Chicchon, the Implant Ninja himself. Dr. Chicchon is a surgical prosthodontist who completed his specialty training at the prestigious University of Michigan ( I know you’ve all seen their old school clinical videos on YouTube, pretty much got me through dental school). I really enjoyed our chat and have so much respect for Ivan, a family man, an outstanding clinician and a straight up hustler. Ivan keeps busy running his practice and is very active in the clinical implant education space. He has authored the “All on X Handbook”, runs hands on courses for dentists and is about to release his highly anticipated Online Implant Ninja course through is website: http://school.implantninja.com/.
In this interview we talk about his journey through dental school and prosthodontics residency. As you’ll here in the story Ivan loves to think outside the box and take matters into his own hands. Some great takeaways from the interview is that to stand out you need to break away from the implied rules or norms. Because most people do things the same way, there is always bound to be more competition. By breaking the rules and doing things your own unique way then windows of opportunity will always present themselves. For example, Ivan set up his practice website 3 years before we opened it. This allowed for his site to grow in terms of rank in google search and it was ready to go as soon as he opened his doors.
