In this episode, we dive into the world of strategic planning for 2025 and how I’m making the process easier in my practice. I believe it all starts with me getting clear on my financial, clinical, and long-term goals while keeping an eye on the realities we’re facing right now. Once I have that vision, I bring my dentists and practice leaders into the conversation to ensure everyone is on the same page.
We typically spend about an hour outlining the key components together. I also value their feedback—it really helps us fine-tune our strategy. With two months left in the year, now is the perfect time to make adjustments before the new year rolls around.

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, Meredith and I dive deep into the four key fundamentals of achieving successful case acceptance in dentistry. These core principles are essential for ensuring patients understand their dental health needs and agree to treatment plans. We also discuss how to implement these strategies effectively in practice for optimal results.
Maintaining focus on these four fundamentals is critical for achieving high case acceptance and ensuring a thriving practice. As a dental professional, your communication approach and understanding of your patients' values will shape your success. Don't forget—education should come after case acceptance to create a smoother, more positive experience for your patients.

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.
