An Interview with Dr. David Little<br />
Interview of David A. Little, DDS<br />
by Bradley C. Bockhorst, DMD<br />
Dr. David Little maintains a multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art<br />
dental practice in San Antonio, Texas, where he dedicates himself<br />
to developing and refining his knowledge skills — as well as those<br />
of his colleagues and peers — through extensive continuing<br />
education and product research. As a clinical researcher<br />
focusing on implants, restorative materials, and technology,<br />
Dr. Little develops predictable procedures for successful<br />
functional and esthetic outcomes. His passion for helping others<br />
drives him to share this expertise in emerging restorative<br />
techniques and materials, as evident in the following interview.<br />
Dr. Bradley Bockhorst: Your practice<br />
is a little different from the typical practice<br />
out there. Tell us how you’re set up.<br />
Dr. David Little: My practice is in a little<br />
town called China Grove, which the<br />
Doobie Brothers made famous. It’s a<br />
sleepy little town around San Antone,<br />
but you can see downtown from my<br />
office. I built the office around a lake,<br />
so all the treatment rooms look out on<br />
the water. One half of the office is a<br />
specialty wing. I have a fully equipped<br />
surgical suite and orthodontic bay,<br />
and every specialist in dentistry rotates<br />
through my practice. We have<br />
CBCT technology, intraoral scanners,<br />
lab support — just about everything<br />
under one roof. And they’re not part<br />
of my practice, they just rent from me.<br />
Together we provide many services.<br />
BB: So you can refer a case and still<br />
keep it in-house?<br />
DL: Exactly.<br />
BB: You’re a general dentist. You place<br />
and restore implants. How do you decide<br />
which ones you’re going to place<br />
and those you’re going to refer out?<br />
