In this episode, Meredith and I discuss bringing orthodontics back into our practice after a break during the pandemic. We reflect on the success we had pre-pandemic, managing 60-70 cases annually, and how staff changes and the pandemic led us to refer all ortho cases out. Now, with the growing demand for orthodontic treatments, we’ve decided it’s time to reintegrate ortho into the practice. We talk about the importance of having a dedicated team member, or "champion," to lead the program, our goals for managing 5-10 cases per month, and the strategies we plan to use, including marketing efforts and leveraging new tools to ensure success.

In this episode, I talk about the concept that growth is not linear—it comes with ups and downs, and it's essential to approach your dental practice with a proactive, long-term mindset. As the dental industry often reacts rather than leads, this episode emphasizes the importance of shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach, especially in the face of economic uncertainty. Whether we’re in a recession or not, the key takeaway is to remain thoughtful and strategic in your business decisions.
I also shared that understanding and anticipating economic trends can help your practice thrive, even in challenging times. By staying informed and proactive, you can ensure that your practice continues to grow, despite the inevitable ups and downs.

In this episode Meredith and I, focus on the importance of adjusting goals and schedules to balance professional and personal life. Talking how aligning work around your kids' school schedules can simplify the dental business and debunk the misconception that dentistry has to be complicated. Reflecting on nostalgic baseball hitting streaks, I draw a parallel to maintaining consistency in our efforts. We emphasize the need to reassess goals mid-year rather than waiting for the new year, adjusting revenue expectations based on current performance, and reverse engineering strategies to identify what's working.
