Memories Made

Shaking up dentistry, together

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Be who you needed when you were younger”? That’s what we’re doing here (not that we’re old or anything). Helpful insight, honest guidance, and witty banter about the dentist’s journey comes in handy. Whether you’re in dental school, recently graduated, hunting for an associateship, or thinking about starting your own practice – pull up a seat. This one’s for you. The Life & Dentistry Podcast was created to serve as a round table for dental professionals to come together, share laughs, and lift one another up. We go beyond being an educational resource and aim to also provide a valuable community where we can all learn from each other and find that balance between life and work that made us all choose dentistry in the first place!

Our Team

We're not just podcast hosts. We are best friends, too! We think that what makes us special is that we have a genuinely good time with each other. Our close bond shines through on the podcast, and we hope you'll come to know us and feel right at home in our community.

Ep. 152: The Secret In Dentistry with Dr. Pete Stover

Dr. Pete Stover graduated from OU in 2002 and built a practice in Elk City, OK after 3 years at the OKC Indian Clinic.  He and Sheri have been married for over 20 years and have 2 teenagers, Jaclyn and Jacob.  Dr. Stover had an affinity for technology and has been a CEREC trainer, faculty at the Dallas Implant Institute, Fellow in the California Implant Institute, beta tester for Sirona, Blue Sky Bio, ClearCorrect, and developed Pilot Plus, a guided drill system for dental implants.  As 3-D printing came on to the scene, Pete was an early adopter and much like a “cat lady”, he can’t remember just how many printers he has owned over the years.  3-D printing is a staple in Dr. Stover’s office for surgical guides, aligners, removable, full arch hybrids, occlusal guards, and there’s no end in sight.

Faith in Christ is the cornerstone of Pete’s family. They’ve served in the local church and they’ve even had the opportunity to work together in Thailand providing dental care in regional orphanages. Dr. Stover has had the opportunity to participate in dental mission work in 6 countries, and hopes to add many more.

As the latter portion of Pete’s career rolls around, he is enjoying the mentoring aspect all the more, but has no plans to stop learning and developing more skills, especially in the area of technology and implantology.
