The Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 334 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak TAKEAWAYS The dental industry is facing challenges such as a wage gap between dentists and hygienists, a changing market outlook, and the need to adapt to new technologies and consumer preferences. Convenience, technology, and marketing play a crucial role in the success of dental practices, and the use of AI and automation can provide a competitive advantage. The future of dentistry may involve a shift towards a hybrid model of acquisitions and de novos, with an emphasis on adding organizational value and creating a differentiated brand. Partnerships can be beneficial if the right partner is chosen, but it is important to carefully consider the terms and goals of the partnership. Job opportunities in dentistry exist, and dentists should consider their own goals and values when deciding on their career path. REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Dental Practice
