What happens when a dentist steps away from clinical practice for 15 years… and comes back stronger than ever?

In this episode of the Smile On Podcast, we sit down with Dr Shahana to unpack a journey filled with resilience, reinvention, and purpose. From practising dentistry in South Africa to becoming a FIFO clinician serving regional communities in Australia, her story is nothing short of inspiring.

She shares the challenges, sacrifices and rewards behind building a meaningful career - proving that success doesn’t always follow a straight line.

From taking a 15-year career break to raise her children, to studying an MBA and a Masters in Journalism while balancing motherhood, Dr Shahana opens up about growth, dedication and staying committed to your goals.

We also explore the realities of FIFO dentistry, serving rural communities, and why building genuine patient connections matters just as much as clinical skills.

Successful implant treatment starts well before the procedure.

Dr Zoud highlights the importance of thoroughly assessing your patient’s medical condition prior to surgery, especially in full arch cases. Sedation, medications like anticoagulants, and overall health all need careful consideration.

Planning, assessment, and patient-specific factors are critical to achieving predictable outcomes.

“Don’t poke around.”

Dr Ned Restom and Dr Khaled Zoud talk all things complications.

Episode 9 is here, and we’re joined by Dr Khaled Zoud , Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, to discuss his pathway from general dentistry into one of the most surgically demanding specialties in dentistry and medicine.

In this segment, Dr Zoud shares his journey through dental school, developing a strong interest in anatomy and surgery before entering the oral and maxillofacial surgery training program in New South Wales. After completing both dental and medical degrees, along with specialist surgical training, his pathway took 17 years from the beginning of university to qualifying as a specialist surgeon.

This episode explores Dr Zoud’s experience performing complex implant procedures including zygomatic implants, and the lessons he has learned through years of surgical practice. He discusses the importance of structured progression in implantology, explaining why procedures such as remote anchorage and zygomatic implants should be approached as a marathon rather than a sprint.

Dr Zoud also provides valuable insight into surgical complications. He explains why complications are inevitable in surgery, how clinicians should approach them professionally, and why recognising problems early and referring appropriately is critical for patient outcomes.
