Dr. Tejas Patel, DDS, breaks down how applying the 80/20 rule transformed the way he practices dentistry. Instead of filling his days with high-volume, high-stress procedures, he took a step back to analyze which treatments were actually driving the majority of his revenue— and realized cosmetic dentistry was the clear winner.

Dr. Patel shares how restructuring his schedule around the procedures he enjoys most not only increased productivity and revenue, but also reduced burnout and stress. By seeing fewer patients and focusing on higher-value, high-impact work, he built a practice that’s more efficient, more profitable, and more sustainable. A candid conversation on working smarter, not harder— and designing a practice that truly works for you.
