Dr. Lorne Lavine also known as “The Digital Dentist” provides dental professionals with focused and expert IT assistance in addressing their specific technological needs from adding to upgrading their otherwise complicated systems.

His biggest asset, according to him, is that he is not just an “IT guy” that dental professionals call whenever they have an IT related problem but rather he is also a “colleague,” a dentist himself who understands technology in the perspective of a dentist.

In Dentistry Blogger episode 1, I invited Dr. Lavine to the show to talk about how he got started in his work and what he thinks dental professionals should consider when investing in necessary technologies for their businesses.
