MILES CITY, Mont. - PennZone -- During his heartfelt presentation, Dr. Barrie Matthews shared his remarkable journey working with Progressive Dental Marketing, from starting his first practice with just $17,000 to establishing Big Sky Smile Center as a hub for advanced full-arch implant dentistry. "I started my practice using equipment from a retired dentist's garage," he said. "Through hard work, education, and innovation, I've been able to grow Big Sky Smile Center into a practice that changes lives every day."

What Does This Mean for Full-Arch Dentistry?
At Big Sky Smile Center, Dr. Matthews and his team have embraced the latest advancements in technology, including facial scanners, photogrammetry, and digital workflows. These innovations enable the practice to deliver life-changing results efficiently and predictably. "I went from placing a few arches a month to completing 20 a month while working just two weeks," said Dr. Matthews. "This shift has allowed me more time with my family while growing Big Sky Smile Center into a leader in full-arch care."
