**********************************************************************

Paula Quinn has spent close to 30 years inside dental practices, first as a top-performing registered dental hygienist, then as an owner, trainer, and now consultant. Today, she partners with dentists and leadership teams to improve patient experience, team alignment, and operational consistency. At Next Level Consultants, Paula focuses on the intersection of human connection and systems. Her work helps practices move beyond “doing more” and instead build repeatable processes that improve care, retention, and revenue, without sacrificing culture.

In this conversation, we unpack what consulting looks like inside a highly specialized, regulated industry, and what firm owners in any niche can learn from dentistry about trust, communication, and long-term client relationships.
