We worked that label out on 8 November 2026 from the date of the last episode in the feed. How we do it.

Hosted by Adrian Lefler

Cut through the AI noise with Adrian Lefler, a 15-year dental industry veteran who's actually using this stuff. No theory, no sales pitches, just the tactical AI implementations that are transforming dental practices right now. In 20-30 minute episodes, Adrian brings you real practitioners sharing exactly how they're using AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other LLM's to save time, increase revenue, and stay ahead of the curve. Whether it's automating patient communication, streamlining workflows, or implementing diagnostic AI, you'll get step-by-step guidance from people who've done it successfully. This isn't another "AI is the future" podcast. It's your practical guide to implementing AI in your dental practice today – without the hype, without the fluff, and without wasting your time. Perfect for busy dental professionals who want actionable insights they can implement immediately. Because while everyone else is talking about AI, we're showing you how to actually use it. New episodes weekly. Real results guaranteed.

Nobody starts with a number. We score a page once three independent sources back it up, and this one has 3. They are listed further down. The next scoring run is what turns them into a number.

a blank is honest. a zero would be a lie

How scoring works

Podcasts get the same two numbers as everybody else, worked out the same published way. That has not been run yet, so both read . We are never going to rank these shows on downloads, because nobody publishes a download figure we could check.
