In the heart of Las Vegas, Dr. Dee Dee Meevasin has carved out a reputation for being ahead of the curve. Her practice is more than a dental office; it’s a hub of innovation, community, and culture where technology and human connection intersect. For Meevasin, digital dentistry isn’t about chasing gadgets; it’s about reshaping the patient experience, empowering her team, and creating a model of care that’s as forward-looking as the city she serves.


Building a tech-forward identity
From the outset, Meevasin viewed technology as a means of empowerment. “The right tech makes things easier: easier for the patient to say yes to treatment, easier for the team to deliver care, and easier for all of us to grow,” she says.

Her practice has embraced same-day workflows, advanced diagnostics, and 3D printing, not just to stay modern but to redefine efficiency. The results speak for themselves: streamlined operations, expanded team skills, and a patient experience that feels both innovative and personal.


Smarter, not flashier
In a field where “shiny object syndrome” can derail practices, Meevasin is careful about what she adopts. Every decision begins with a simple question: “Does this innovation align with our mission to help people live longer and smile more?”

By piloting technology with focus groups and measuring its actual impact, she ensures that new tools enhance both patient care and practice workflow. “Being first means we get to help shape what comes next,” she says. It’s a philosophy that has kept her practice on the leading edge without losing its footing.


Same-day dentistry: Trust in one visit
The shift to same-day dentistry has transformed her practice. Patients save time and stress, while the practice sees higher case acceptance, fewer overhead costs, and stronger margins.

But for Meevasin, the biggest payoff is patient trust. “When patients see that we respect their time and deliver exceptional results in one visit, they feel seen and valued,” she explains. That trust fuels both loyalty and referrals, creating a cycle of growth built on respect.

AI and digital tools that connect
One of the most powerful changes has come from AI diagnostics tools like Pearl. Acting as a “second set of eyes,” Pearl allows patients to see what their doctor sees. “It helps patients feel more informed, confident, and engaged in their care,” Meevasin says.

Meanwhile, 3D printing with Primeprint has streamlined production of nightguards and surgical guides, cutting reliance on labs while improving precision and fit. The shift has empowered her team to co-create solutions with pride and deliver faster, better outcomes for patients.


Balancing tech with human touch
Even in a digital-first practice, Meevasin emphasizes that human connection drives everything. “Digital tools help us work smarter, but human connection is what makes it meaningful,” she says. AI handles analysis, freeing her team to focus on listening more. Same-day workflows reduce follow-up tasks, allowing more time for genuine patient conversations.


Leading through empowerment
Inside the practice, leadership isn’t confined to titles. Team members are encouraged to take initiative, experiment, and “fail forward.” For Meevasin, culture is rooted in trust and clarity, with a focus on hiring for fit, training for skills, and providing people with the space to grow. “Leadership here isn’t about titles—it’s about initiative,” she says.

Coaching has shaped both her leadership style and her outlook. Leadership isn’t about having all the answers. “It’s about asking better questions,” she says. Whether being coached or coaching others, her goal is to empower people to find their own solutions and step into their leadership.


Dentistry with purpose
Her philanthropic program, “Fills Good,” turns everyday dentistry into community impact. For every filling completed, a portion of the fee is allocated to a fund supporting local charities selected by patients and staff. “It turns everyday dentistry into something bigger than the procedure,” she says. The initiative has deepened her practice’s ties to the community and reinforced her belief that success is measured not only in revenue but in impact.


Fighting burnout, building the future
Meevasin sees variety and growth as antidotes to burnout for herself and her team. By embracing new technology, mentoring her associates, and focusing on the complex cases she loves, she has kept her career fresh and energizing.

She also believes the future of dentistry lies in multi-doctor practices that deliver comprehensive care under one roof. “It’s not about volume—it’s about excellence, together,” she says.

While DSOs continue to expand, she sees opportunity for independents who prioritize clarity, culture, and efficiency. Borrowing the best of larger organizations while staying true to personal values, she argues, is how private practices will thrive.


A purpose-driven future
As for what advice she would give Townies, Meevasin urges her peers to reconnect with their purpose. “Step back and get clear on why you’re doing what you’re doing,” she says. “From there, build a vision, find a mentor, and don’t try to do it alone.”

For a dentist who thrives on technology, leadership, and community, her message is simple: Dentistry is about more than fixing teeth; it’s about building people, trust, and futures worth smiling about.
