Summary

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Jon Padolsky of Flex to explore how dental technology is transforming the front office experience. Jon shares his journey from growing up around dentistry and spending 14 years as a dental office manager to helping practices streamline operations through Flex. The conversation covers the evolution from paper charts and manual reminders to digital forms, online scheduling, integrated payments, insurance verification, and treatment planning tools built specifically for Open Dental users. Jon also explains how Flex helps teams present treatment more clearly, use patient photos to improve case acceptance, reduce time spent on insurance verification, and consolidate multiple systems into one deeply integrated platform.
