The Storm has Arrived for Private Dentistry
<p>Back in 2011, I gave a lecture called “The Coming Storm for Dentistry.”</p><p> I warned that insurance companies would choke reimbursements while corporate dentistry scaled up and swallowed private practices.</p><p>Fourteen years later… well, here we are.</p><p>In this week’s Practice Autonomy Podcast, we open that time capsule and compare those predictions to the real 2025 data — and it’s chillingly accurate:</p><p>🦷 <strong>PPO reimbursements are lower</strong> than last year for one-third of dentists.</p><p>💰 <strong>Overhead is rising faster</strong> than collections.</p><p><strong>DSOs now employ more than 1 in 4 new grads</strong>, backed by billions in private equity.</p><p>But it’s not all doom and gloom. I also share the same three-part counter-strategy that still works today:</p><p>1️⃣ <strong>Get Bigger</strong> – Build multiple sources of new-patient flow.</p><p>2️⃣ <strong>Get Faster</strong> – Run your practice with precision systems that out-produce corporate offices.</p><p>3️⃣ <strong>Get Stronger</strong> – Align your team so you can move faster than any DSO.</p><p>If you’ve felt that “Viking raid” from corporate recruiters or insurance clawbacks, this episode will hit home — and give you a roadmap to fight back.</p><p>Stay independent, stay sharp, stay private</p>

How to Develop Superstar Staff, Discover Their Secrets, and Keep Them Happy
<p>Staff has gotten so expensive. It's so expensive to keep good team members that any successful dentist knows it is the #1 item on the P&L by far these days.</p><p>And yet, it's so important to keep those key players.</p><p><span>The success or failure of a dental practice is overwhelmingly dependent on its staff, who function as the critical intermediary between the doctor and the patient. </span></p><p><span>A significant portion of patients place more trust in the opinions and expertise of the staff than in those of the doctor. </span></p><p><span>To achieve peak performance, doctors must understand the unique motivations, perspectives, and "secrets" of their staff members. </span></p><p><span>Uncovering these underlying factors is essential for breaking down barriers to productivity, resolving internal conflicts, and fully implementing the practice's vision.</span></p>

How to Take an Extra Day Off Every Week and Produce the Same
<p>Most of us waste a ton of time each day.</p><p>I'm not asking any dentist to rush through any procedure or exam.</p><p>You should demand excellence for yourself every second of every day.</p><p>But, you're kidding yourself if you think you're not wasting time.</p><p>My theory is that if you are taking a day away from your family to be at the dental office, you should make every second count.</p><p>What I believe you will find is that you can absolutely be as productive while working less if you put your mind, heart, and soul into that pursuit.</p><p>If you pull this off, you'll basically give yourself a vacation every single week.</p><p>Imagine how much your family will appreciate that!</p><p>In this episode I lay out the basic concepts that allow this to happen.</p><p>See what you think and let me know.</p>
