Practice Owners

If you’re struggling with the basics of social media for dentists, it’s probably not because you lack content. Most otherwise-successful practice owners find themselves struggling on social media because they have been taught to treat social media as a performance, a continuous obligation to produce content that captures attention, follows platform trends, and projects a […]

Every dental practice software vendor promises efficiency, growth, and transformation. The true value and ROI of tech in dental practices is a more complicated story. Some technology investments genuinely change the economics of how a practice operates. Others add cost, require ongoing training, and produce metrics that look impressive in a demo but do not […]

The dental hygienist turnover rate has become one of the most closely watched indicators of practice health among group operators and DSO executives. The data is not reassuring. Hygiene departments across the country are experiencing turnover that disrupts patient continuity, strains scheduling, and erodes the production consistency that makes practices financially stable.

The question has been bouncing around in your head for awhile. “Should I sell my dental practice, or should I continue building it?”  Only you can answer, but the solution does not arrive on a set schedule.

Most dental practice marketing advice focuses entirely on channels, tactics, and […]

Just about everyone claims their product uses AI. Some of those claims describe genuine automation delivering measurable value. Others describe features that have been labeled artificial intelligence primarily because they make them easier to sell.  AI for dental practices requires the same evidence-based evaluation you apply to clinical treatment decisions, separating what the research actually […]

Most dental practices lose good employees for reasons unrelated to compensation. A hygienist accepts a lower-paying position across town because she feels heard there. A front desk coordinator who trained three people in two years finally stops applying for the job she actually wants and quietly starts her search. HR for dental offices often gets […]
