If you’ve ever thought, “We’re growing… so why does everything feel harder?” — this episode is for you.

Most dentists try to scale by adding: ops, assistants, associates, services, and tech. And it works… until it multiplies chaos. In this episode of Dentistry Made Simple, TBone shares a simple truth: you don’t scale a dental practice — you scale systems and leadership.

TBone’s 5 Rules to Scale Without Losing Your Mind:

Don’t delegate until you define (delegating without defining is abdication)

Build leaders, not bodies (you don’t need more hands—you need more thinkers)

Simplify before you scale (complexity kills growth)

Use scoreboards and standards (including a smarter way to track case acceptance)

The owner’s job must change (from clinician to architect)

You’re the bottleneck for every decision

Adding team members isn’t reducing stress

Growth feels like more fires, not more freedom

You’re “busy”… but not moving forward
