Show Notes
On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by returning guest and longtime friend of the podcast, Dr. Matthew Standridge, live from the Voices of Dentistry conference. Dr. Standridge shares his incredible journey from owning multiple rural practices in Kansas to selling them and transitioning into a career focused on education and clinical mentorship. He opens up about the unique and atypical process of selling one of his practices to a nonprofit organization pursuing FQHC status, and how that created a win-win for both the community and his personal goals.
Now living in Edmond, Oklahoma, Dr. Standridge reflects on the improved quality of life for his family and his renewed passion for teaching. He dives deep into his new online education platform, Orthodontic XP, designed to help general dentists implement clear aligner therapy confidently and effectively—especially those who feel stuck after initial certification courses. Dr. Standridge also shares key insights on team training, patient communication, and systems for case acceptance in ortho.
