If you think taking over a dental practice is easier than starting one from scratch, think again. Dr. Luchtefeld discovered early on in his career that when you buy an old practice, you inherit its problems. How do you fix an outdated, neglected dental office? Tune in to find out how Dr. Luchtefeld turned it around, and went on to practice in several different states before moving from the US to settle in Canada, transitioning out of clinical work into coaching dental professionals. 

Dr. Jason Luchtefeld, DMD

A 2000 graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine, he was an active leader in the ASDA, AADS (now ADEA) and the AGD.  Following dental school, he completed a General Practice Residency at the VA Hospital in Denver, CO.  His technical training has encompassed learning from the Dawson Academy, the Misch Institute, R.L. Frazer & Associates and many other respected learning organizations. 

In 2005 Dr. Luchtefeld obtained his Fellowship in the AGD (Academy of General Dentistry ) and the ICOI (International College of Oral Implantologists).  In 2007 he joined the AES – Occlusion, TMD, Comprehensive Care (formerly American Equilibration Society) and quickly rose to leadership.  He first served three years as AES Exhibit Committee Chair and a member of the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC).  After a year on the SPC he Co-Chaired the most successful and transformative AES Strategic Planning Process in more than 55 years.  During the Applied Strategic Planning process (led by Dr. Bob Frazer) a passion was ignited for the power of the process.  This passion has continued in Jason overseeing implementation and ongoing monitoring of the AES ASP – allowing the ASP to become the central governing document for the society.  

In 2019, Jason began expressing his passion and purpose for asking questions into the formal process of Applied Strategic Planning as a partner in Inspero – a strategic planning and coaching firm based in Austin, TX.  His goal is to help dentists and their organizations question, create, and then inspire their best futures.  Jason’s experience in this arena has rapidly grown to include co-facilitating several ASP’s for dentist’s and a corporation as well as leading the process for several dental organizations.  He has also led the Organizational Health Process through multiple iterations.

In 2024, Jason joined forces with Dr. Kevin Kwiecien to form The CCO Solution to provide fractional chief clinical officer functions to growing DSO’s.
