The Most Influential Leaders In Dentistry to Watch in 2026

From Extractions To Full-Mouth Restoration: How Dr. Jason S. Emett Is Transforming Dental Care 

Dr. Jason S. Emett is the founder of All Out Dental, a Las Vegas dental practice focused exclusively on 3 on 6™ full mouth restoration. As the only Platinum 3 on 6™ Provider in Las Vegas, Dr. Emett and his team have built the practice entirely around 3 on 6™ and full mouth restorative care.  

With a career rooted in dental surgery and thousands of surgical extractions performed, Dr. Emett brings extensive surgical experience to full mouth dental implant treatment. His approach combines restorative precision with an emphasis on preserving a patient’s natural anatomy, including healthy bone and gum tissue whenever clinically possible. His transition from a practice focused exclusively on wisdom teeth to one dedicated entirely to 3 on 6™ full mouth restoration changed the trajectory of All Out Dental and shaped the practice as it exists today. Through his clinical work, continued advancement in full mouth restoration, and mentorship of other dental professionals, Dr. Emett has earned recognition as an influential leader in dentistry to watch in 2026.

Early Foundations and the Dental Laboratory 

Dr. Emett’s introduction to dentistry began long before dental school. Growing up in Utah as the oldest of ten children, he was exposed to the profession through his father, who worked as a dental laboratory technician. His first job was working alongside his father in the family dental laboratory. The experience gave him an early understanding of the technical side of dentistry. He enjoyed solving mechanical problems, working with dental materials, and using his hands to create precise solutions. Those early experiences helped shape the way he would later approach both surgery and restorative dentistry. 

His uncle, Dr. Jim Ott, showed him another side of the profession. Watching patients come to his uncle for help made a lasting impression on Dr. Emett and showed him how clinical knowledge and skills could directly improve someone’s quality of life. Together, his experiences with his father and uncle introduced him to both sides of dentistry: the technical precision of the laboratory and the human impact of patient care. 

The Surgical Baseline: Thousands of Extractions 

Once Dr. Emett began treating patients in dental school, he quickly gravitated toward surgery. His clinical professors recognized his interest and encouraged him to continue developing those skills. After graduation, he pursued additional surgical training, and on his first day practicing as a general dentist, he treated three separate wisdom teeth cases. That surgical focus eventually led him to establish All Out Dental, which began as a practice dedicated exclusively to wisdom teeth and third molar surgery.  

Over the course of his career, Dr. Emett has performed thousands of wisdom teeth extractions. That volume gave him something difficult to replicate through coursework alone: repetition, experience, and the ability to remain calm when a case does not go exactly as expected. He often explains that after performing a procedure ten times, you begin to feel capable. After one hundred, you have encountered unusual variations. After one thousand, there is very little you have not seen.  

That experience shaped more than his surgical technique. It also shaped the way he approaches patients. For many young adults, wisdom tooth removal is their first experience with surgery. Dr. Emett has never lost sight of the responsibility that comes with caring for an anxious patient in a surgical setting. Learning to listen carefully to both patients and parents became just as important as developing the technical skills required to perform the procedure.

A Structural Shift to Full-Mouth Restoration 

Although All Out Dental had built its reputation around extractions, one conversation during surgery changed the direction of the practice. A Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist working with Dr. Emett asked why he was not performing full mouth restorative procedures. His answer was simple: he had not found anyone doing them the way he believed they should be done.  

Dr. Emett explained the clinical principles he was looking for, including a FP1 style restoration designed to replace the teeth while preserving the patient’s natural gum tissue rather than replacing it with prosthetic material. The CRNA told him about a group in Utah using an approach that closely matched what he had described. Two weeks later, Dr. Emett was on a flight to Salt Lake City to see the 3 on 6™ treatment approach firsthand. The visit confirmed what he had been looking for.  

When he returned to the office the following Monday, he told his team, “We are changing the trajectory of the company.” He meant it. Dr. Emett committed to the approach, and All Out Dental began its transition from a practice centered on extractions to one focused exclusively on 3 on 6™ full mouth restoration. That transition also helped define a philosophy that remains central to All Out Dental today: KEEP YOUR GUMS.  

For Dr. Emett, those words represent more than a tagline. They reflect his belief that full mouth restoration should preserve a patient’s natural anatomy whenever clinically possible. Rather than routinely replacing healthy gum tissue with prosthetic material, the 3 on 6™ approach allows Dr. Emett to restore the teeth while maintaining the patient’s natural gums and smile architecture. That philosophy influences nearly every aspect of treatment at All Out Dental, from surgical planning and implant placement to the design of the final restoration. The goal is not to provide a one size fits all solution, but to create a treatment plan based on the individual patient, their anatomy, and their long term restorative needs.

Work-Life Balance and Recharging 

Building and operating a practice focused entirely on full mouth restoration while also teaching and mentoring requires significant time and energy. Over the years, Dr. Emett and his team have become intentional about creating a practice that allows them to work hard without sacrificing life outside of dentistry. That was not always the case. Years ago, the team sat down and discussed what their ideal practice would look like, and a healthy work life balance became an intentional part of that plan. 

Today, All Out Dental follows a structured schedule that includes Fridays off, an extended break during the winter holidays, and additional time away throughout the year. Their philosophy is simple: work hard when it is time to work and make time to enjoy life when it is not. 

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Emett enjoys spending time outdoors and playing drums with his Grateful Dead tribute band. These activities allow him to recharge and build relationships outside of the dental office. Sometimes, he says, a few hours spent doing something he genuinely enjoys is enough to return to work focused and energized. 

Those boundaries connect to one of the most important lessons he has learned from his patients: life is short. His advice is straightforward. Take opportunities to enjoy your life, and do not spend more of it than necessary living in pain or avoiding your smile.

Team Dynamics and Patient Confidence 

For Dr. Emett, successful full-mouth restoration involves much more than the dentist performing the procedure. Patients need to feel confident in the entire team, from their first interaction at the front desk through surgery and the restorative process.He believes patients can recognize when a team has worked together for years. Experience creates an efficiency and calmness that is difficult to manufacture. He encourages patients considering major dental treatment to pay attention to that dynamic. How long has the team worked together? How comfortable are they with one another? Does the patient feel heard and confident in the people who will be caring for them? It is one of the reasons Dr. Emett frequently says he is “the luckiest dentist on the planet.” He credits much of what All Out Dental has accomplished to the team working alongside him. 

The most rewarding part of the work, however, is what happens in the lives of patients. Patients return with stories about interviewing for new jobs, entering new relationships, gaining confidence, smiling in photographs, eating more comfortably, or finally living without the dental pain that had affected them for years. A restored smile means something different to every patient, and for Dr. Emett and his team, being part of those individual transformations is what makes the work meaningful. 

Mentorship and the Future of Dental Technology 

Beyond treating patients at All Out Dental, Dr. Emett dedicates part of his professional life to teaching and mentoring other dental professionals. Mentorship played an important role in his own development. From his early exposure to dentistry through his father and uncle to the professors and clinicians who helped him develop his surgical skills, he experienced firsthand the value of learning from people willing to share their knowledge. Today, he enjoys doing the same for others by sharing the surgical knowledge, clinical experience, and practical lessons he has gained throughout his career. That interest in continued learning also influences how he views the future of full mouth restoration. 

Dr. Emett and his colleagues continually look for ways to make treatment less invasive, more predictable, and easier for patients to recover from. He is particularly interested in the continued development of dental materials and digital technology. He believes the future may bring materials that offer the strength and durability expected from today’s restorations while allowing those restorations to be printed directly in the dental office. Advances like these could continue to improve how efficiently and predictably restorative treatment is delivered. For Dr. Emett, adopting new technology is not about using something simply because it is new. It is about determining whether it can improve the treatment process or the patient experience.

The Systems Philosophy 

One philosophy has remained consistent throughout Dr. Emett’s professional and personal life: “The system you are currently using is perfectly designed to get the results you are currently getting.”  

The idea applies to nearly everything. In surgery, it might mean recognizing that an instrument or technique is not producing the desired result and changing the approach. In business, it can mean examining an entire process and rebuilding it when the outcome no longer aligns with the goal. For All Out Dental, it meant being willing to completely change the direction of an established practice when Dr. Emett found an approach to full mouth restoration that aligned with what he believed treatment should accomplish.  

That willingness to evaluate, adapt, and improve helped transform All Out Dental from a wisdom teeth practice into a Las Vegas dental practice focused exclusively on 3 on 6™ full mouth restoration. Today, every treatment plan begins with the individual patient, their anatomy, their goals, and the long term health and function of their smile. It is an approach shaped by Dr. Emett’s surgical experience, his commitment to continued improvement, and a philosophy that has become synonymous with the practice: KEEP YOUR GUMS.
