Today, we are chatting with a fellow dentist, Amy. She talks about what she has learned in buying her practice, having her husband as a business partner, and how she started out in her new practice as an office manager doing the behind-the-scenes work.
When she transitioned over to working full-time at her practice, Amy found that she wasn’t as stressed working in-between her practice and her full-time job. However, as they want to maximize their production at their practice, they take on emergencies as much as possible.
Box scheduling is a great way to get those last-minute emergencies in. When you only fill your schedule to 90%, you leave room for those patients who need to come in the same day.
Dentistry is changing. Technology, education, and resources are closer to our fingertips now more than ever! Are you ready to learn what millennial dentists are doing to exceed patient expectations, enjoy dentistry more and take vacations and how this generation can join up with the previous generation to make for an unstoppable dental team? Wait no longer! Listen in and find out how to push your lifestyle to the next level.
Show Notes:
[01:51] How Amy started her practice with her husband.
[10:38] Creating better production inside the dental office.
[15:30] When to take full-mouth pictures of patients.
[22:30] Why adopt technology and use a milling unit in practice.

Today, we are chatting live in Miami with Dr. Rusty and Dr. Corey to chat about the future of AI in dentistry and predictions on where we think that technology will be taking dentistry in the future.
Dr. Corey has been creating online courses with his newest course, Transcendental Education, to show others how to fabricate components in-house. There’s so much AI in dentistry today; he and his team are focusing on full-arch guides in his lab.
When you utilize technology efficiently, your team can create much of the work for patient impressions. Now, with trained staff, your workload lessens, and you have more time to work with patients instead of creating products for them.

Today, we are chatting with Dr. Jackson Hall, our new team member! Dr. Hall graduated from the University of Memphis and is here to talk to us about the gap in dental education regarding income, tax write-offs, and how to run a practice as a business.
The most significant checks I’ve written since I’ve started my business were for taxes, by a long shot. When you run a business, you need to find out how to mitigate taxes with tax write-offs and lower your taxable income legally. My advice to young dentists is to make sure you find a good CPA who can guide you with taxes and tax shelters.
After you have your student loans and other debt paid off, your next step is to think about wealth management. Investing in your retirement is similar to buying time, which is why you want to invest a lot of your money as soon as possible. Once you can max out your 401K, you’re on the right path to retirement.

We are chatting with Justin Maceroy from Midwest Dental Arts and Nikoli Mensuri from Detroit Dental Lab. Both guests are here to discuss 3D printing in dentistry, reforming their staff based on technology, and how our labs are set up based on our dental specialties.
Clinicians need to stay informed about new technologies, which is essential for providing excellent dental care to clients. The more you know about in-house design and specialty dentistry, the greater you can offer services to your patients. “The more you know about digital dentistry, the better your cases can be.”
In-house technology inside your practice makes designing fast and straightforward. The manufacturing process is the part of patient care that can increase turnaround time. 3D printing allows for more rapid design and gives you more time in your schedule because you’re not using your time waiting for an impression to be delivered.
Having a 3D printer in-office removes the hassle of overnight shipping. With COVID affecting shipping times, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get your products within one day anymore. In addition, having a printer in-office cuts down on overhead costs and reduces the amount of time you can take care of a patient emergency.

Show Notes:
[02:14] How we can efficiently receive data with modern technology.
[04:37] The future of in-house design and sending off work to a lab.
[10:00] Finishing times for in-house designed impressions.
[17:05] The ease and efficiency of 3D printing.
[21:48] Fixing broken implants and other devices for patients with 3D printing.

We are excited to have opened our new location, which we have been practicing for the past three weeks. Listen to today’s episode as we talk about our new practice, where we are going, and our goals for the future of our businesses.
Today, we talk about our past and how busy we were after graduating from dental school. Between getting our practices set up, getting married, starting families, and building houses, we’ve finally gotten to a point in our lives where we can slow down and enjoy life more now than ever.
The importance of hiring someone to keep you accountable pays for itself in more ways than one! When you are looking to reach further than what’s inside yourself, it’s an excellent investment to hire an expert or coach to assist you in reaching your goals. For example, when Dr. Peyway hired a personal trainer, he realized how far he had come physically from his before and after pictures. He also talks about how the benefits of training and exercising have given him a better day at the office.
Whether you don’t like fillings or doing your financials, you need to delegate the aspects of your business that aren’t in your wheelhouse. When you delegate, you give the task to another person that is more qualified and experienced, who can get the job done. In addition, this takes the constant stress off of you so you can work to improve your practice.

Show Notes:
[04:37] Growing in the area of dental implants.
[10:15] Reviewing life and learning how to reprioritize what’s important.
[14:12] Developing healthy lifestyle habits that improve our personal and professional lives.
[19:07] How mediation has helped Dr. Peyway when practicing surgery.
[28:10] Delegating the office management tasks that aren’t in your wheelhouse.
[39:49] The importance of taking responsibility for everything that happens in your practice.
[46:13] Why you want to be clear and transparent with your hires so they understand the responsibilities they are going to take on in your practice.

We are excited to be at the Mastermind in Smithville, Tennessee, on the second day. We are broadcasting from this event, and we are joined by Dr. Matt Corbin and Dr. Ben Height to chat about lifestyle, family life and dentistry, and profitability of your practice.
In our roundtable today, we discuss the importance of designing your dental office space around your specific office and practice needs. Dr. Corbin took over a practice from Dr. Silverstein four years ago and has since doubled his business’s gross profit. In addition, he was able to bring in procedures that were previously referred out, such as sedation.
Dr. Height purchased his practice in 2017 after working in a dental office for eight years. He bought his office at $1.2 million and brought it up to $1.5 million the first year of business in a 1,000 square foot practice - with only himself as a practitioner.
If you want to build and grow a practice significantly, it’s a good idea to purchase a business grossing around $500 to $600,000 annually. When you look at practices making over $1 million, you have to have a specific skill set to handle that type of profit in the dental practice to keep your numbers at or above a million dollars a year.
The most important aspect of having a dental practice is to focus on doing more of what you want to do inside your practice. Always look for a different way to practice if what you are doing isn’t filling your cup.
Dentistry is changing. Technology, education, and resources are closer to our fingertips now more than ever! Are you ready to learn what millennial dentists are doing to exceed patient expectations, enjoy dentistry more and take vacations and how this generation can join up with the previous generation to make for an unstoppable dental team?

Show Notes:
[01:51] Matt’s expectations of Dr. Sully’s old office.
[03:52] The importance of designing your office around your dental practice needs.
[04:30] Dr. Matt Corbin and Dr. Ben Height share their office stats.
[09:31] Choosing your work schedule based on your lifestyle.
[13:00] Having a space that you enjoy and feel good practicing in.
[14:17] Facilitating success in your practice.
[19:49] Roadblocks holding dentists back from making changes in their business.
[28:13] Looking at the profitability of procedures and taking items off that aren’t as profitable.
[35:42] Getting to a place of contentment; which also means lack of motivation.
[42:25] The importance of commitment to family life.

Today we are celebrating the grand opening of Sullivan Dental Partners! A long-term vision to building the practice, we are talking about the steps of our journey and how we could reach our goal of dental partnership. Listen in to find out the challenges we’ve had, successes, and how we solved the partnership problems.
After organizing the office and getting into an efficient workflow, Dr. Rick and Dr. Sully decided to reinvest their business profit back into the business to grow their practice. They purchased additional mills and scanners for their company.
Approaching their economic and growth tipping point, they decided to purchase and build a new practice. Building their practice was a two-year process in which Dr. Rick and Dr. Sully had to be aware to separate their emotional connection to their business from the business aspect of purchasing a property.
When they found out a family member was selling the lot next to their location, both doctors were excited, but then decided to lease another building and redesign the space for their new practice. Once they moved into their new practice, they decided on a redesign, what their new surgical suite was going to look like, sorting out the new dental schedule and figuring out which procedures they could now offer to clients with same-day service.

Listen in to find out the challenges we’ve had, successes, and how we solved the partnership problems.
Dr. Rick believes and teaches that the best investment you can make is your investment in yourself. So, when they combined forces, Dr. Rick and Dr. Sully could pick up restorations and general dentistry. This allowed Dr. Rick to work on more cases involving wisdom teeth and other aesthetic dentistry.
Opportunity costs could be found early on. Dr. Sully realized that his father had a robust surgical skillset, but they didn’t have a set block schedule. So, Sully coming in and giving the practice another skillset; they were able to better organize the time they spent in-office with patients by blocking off times.

When they merged, Dr. Sully hesitated because he would now have only half the number of chairs, patients, and income. At first, the senior Sullivan would debrief the younger Sullivan for about 30 minutes at the end of the day to review what they had accomplished and what can be improved upon.
Sully would ask Senior Sully for assistance when he needed help with a dental procedure. He wasn’t afraid to ask for help, even in the middle of a root canal, important for patient care.

Sun is from Tru, and they provide custom abutments for crown restoration. Selling over 8.000 abutments per month, 70% of production goes directly to the lab. As a dental milling specialists, they can create custom abutments for any type of restoration or dental work.
A Swiss-type CNC machine is a type of turning center that was developed for the Swiss watch industry. These machines are designed to turn small, complex, precision parts and mill them with accuracy and consistency. Due to this capability, this type of milling machine is used to achieve the strict dimension and tolerance requirements necessary for application in the aerospace, military, and medical industries.
Tru pre-fabricates their inventory overseas and takes their pre-fab inventory to Irvine, California, where they create their custom dental abutments. Abutments come with a lifetime warranty with a 5-year coverage on the implant system itself. This is possible because of the manufacturing process that follows strict manufacturing standards. In addition, they provide free samples to new customers to verify the quality of our abutments yourself.
TruAbutment DS custom abutments provide individual anatomic contours, emergence profile, and margin placement to provide an excellent foundation for improved long-term function and esthetics compared to stock abutments. Patient-specific imaging, including CAD/CAM abutments, is individually designed, taking the final tooth shape into consideration. Adjustable cement line for better maintenance of proper biological width. Their manufacturing process makes sure you get a precise fit every time.

Today we have Shay with us again for another episode, and we chat about milling experiences and opportunities that you can take advantage of for your dental practice. Tony, Darren, and Donny also join us to talk about his experience with different types of dental mills.
Sully’s practice currently has three mills a wet, a wet/dry, and a prime mill. He is presently milling Zirconia in less than five minutes with his prime mill. Because he can create milled items quickly, Sully can do his patient procedures all in-house in the same visit. In addition, he can touch test the block before restoration, which is beneficial for a good fit.
Tony started with the older E4D mill in 2009 and made an effort to learn how to use the mill effectively. He is using a scanner to create Invisalign products using itero. In addition to itero, they also use trios for same-day products.
Dr. Don Murry is a 2010 graduate who is making waves in dentistry.
He talks about his milling journey, starting with a cone beam in 2012. He is currently puck milling at his office to create full-arch products with Zirconia.
Learn what new milling processes are available, how easy or hard they are to use, and how you can get your hands on a digital mill to create same-day dental appliances.

Today we have Shea Tolbert and Tony Mennito with us to chat about how dental ecosystems work, how 3D printing has advanced dentistry, and what students are currently learning in dental school. We also talk about digital design and when is a good time to hire a digital designer into your practice.
Ecosystems and branching out to find a mentor are critical to your success as a dentist. The progression of digital dentistry is happening faster than manufacturers can keep up with the demand.
We’ve been pushing the limits of these ecosystems. Our practice just purchased a machine to do a same-day crown for clients. We can do a variety of procedures much more quickly than we used to be able to in dentistry. Digital design has created a faster, more efficient dental system.
Social media has been a big topic lately, and we talk about how we are marketing on social media. We can post pre and post images of work in the office, before and after images, and post reviews from our clients.
Learn what new dental technology we are playing around with right now, learn about other dentist ecosystems, and predict new technology that we are thinking will come about in the next few years.

Today we have Holly, who grew up in dentistry and the airline industry inside the state of Tennessee. As a ramp rat for almost five years, she has flown all over the country. When she was 18, she moved to Charlotte to instruct and teach other US Air employees. She was working too many hours and having a job with more stability, she decided to get into working for a local dental practice.
Holly decided to go to school to become a dental assistant. After graduating, the practice she worked for broke up on bad terms and stayed with one of the partners. She started to learn the ins and outs of dentistry from the business side at her new practice.
Holly learned under dentistry’s “big five” and practice cosmetic dentistry. Her boss, Ross, put her through more dental training, and she ended up being a dental speaker. Traveling around the country, speaking, and training other dentists, opened her eyes to the potential and opportunities.
After bringing her last company to $5 million, she started to get the itch to build her own practice. She worked 100 hour work weeks, along with her brother, who had a degree in marketing, to develop her own business training doctors and dentists.
With so many people afraid to fail, Holly decided to learn to fail and pick herself up and learn from her mistakes. A multitude of dentists isn’t OK with coaching; as Holly says, “When they hear about coaching, they think they are in trouble.” Her clientele is someone who is going to bet on themself to win. She puts herself in a space where she gets her clients' ideas and takes them into her work.
Dentistry is changing. Technology, education, and resources are closer to our fingertips now more than ever! Are you ready to learn what millennial dentists are doing to exceed patient expectations, enjoy dentistry more and take vacations and how this generation can join up with the previous generation to make for an unstoppable dental team?
