The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 348 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION Join Craig and Peter as they discuss rural practices in rural versus urban area and the challenges and advantages of practicing in rural markets. Also, a concerning trend in dentistry: the rise of non-dentist veneer technicians, or 'near-techs.' These individuals, with minimal training, are illegally placing veneers on patients using nail supplies and acrylic. Craig and Peter express their frustration with the lack of protection for the dental profession and the potential harm caused by these unqualified practitioners. TAKEAWAYS Rural dentists are three times busier than dentists in urban areas, highlighting the demand for dental services in rural markets. The rise of non-dentist veneer technicians, or 'near-techs,' is a concerning trend in dentistry, as these individuals are illegally placing veneers on patients with minimal training. The dental profession needs better protection and advocacy to prevent the proliferation of unqualified practitioners and ensure patient safety. The commoditization of dental services and the race to the bottom on pricing can undermine the quality of care and patient outcomes. Dentists should be aware of these trends and actively advocate for the profession to maintain high standards and protect patient well-being.

Success is a journey, and it takes time and continuous growth to reach new levels. Giving back and helping others is a fulfilling way to create a legacy. Fatherhood can take different forms and evolve over time, with each individual having their own parenting style and experiences. The dental investment market is facing challenges due to high interest rates and the need for a proven track record of success. Consolidation in the dental industry is increasing, with more dentists joining group practices and DSOs. The future of dentistry looks promising for those who are passionate about providing quality care and are aligned with the values of the profession. It is important for dentists to focus on their core competency in dentistry and seek partnerships that align with their values and goals. Business training should be incorporated into dental school curricula to better prepare dentists for the realities of running a practice. Dentists should embrace their strengths and seek support from others to fill in the gaps in their knowledge and skills. The joint venture model can be a beneficial approach for dentists looking to partner with others and expand their practices. The dental industry is experiencing a shift towards valuing quality of care and differentiation, rather than just focusing on revenue and valuations. The future of dentistry will be shaped by factors such as competition, costs, negotiation with payers, and the ability to differentiate and provide value to patients.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast: Bonus Episode! HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak GUESTS: Chase Howard DESCRIPTION BREAKING NEWS! Join us as we welcome Chase Howard for an impromptu bonus episode to discuss the recent news surrounding the FTC and non-compete agreements. TAKEAWAYS The FTC is attempting to ban non-compete agreements, which could have a significant impact on the dentistry industry. Existing non-compete agreements will still be enforceable until the employee leaves the practice. Non-solicitation agreements may become more important for protecting patient and staff retention. The ban does not apply to the sale of practices or certain high-level executives. Dentists should consider revisiting their associate agreements and focusing on other protections such as training costs, non-disclosure agreements, and protecting intellectual property.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 345 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUESTS: Dr. Trey Tippit and Dr. Dwight Peccora DESCRIPTION In this episode, our Fearsome Four is back in full force as we discuss the state of dentistry in 2024 based on data from Dental Intel. We explore topics such as the stability of practices, the impact of inflation on the industry, and the increase in cancellations and no-shows. We emphasize the importance of tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) and implementing strategies to improve patient engagement and reduce no-shows. We also highlight the need for dentists to focus on their mental and emotional well-being to navigate the challenges of running a dental practice. TAKEAWAYS The state of dentistry in 2024 shows a stratification, with top performers doing better than ever and bottom performers struggling. The average practice is experiencing more cancellations and no-shows than ever before, which can be attributed to factors such as lack of patient engagement strategies and deprioritized hygiene programs. Hygiene reappointment percentage is a crucial metric that indicates the stability of a practice and its future success. Mitigating no-shows can be challenging, but implementing systems such as confirmations, scheduling goals, and charging fees for missed appointments can help reduce their impact. Dentists should focus on their mental and emotional well-being to navigate the challenges of running a dental practice and maintain stability in their business. Accountability is crucial in dental practices to ensure that protocols are followed consistently. Creating scarcity in appointment scheduling can increase patient compliance and reduce no-shows. AI technology has the potential to streamline dental workflows and improve diagnostic capabilities. The upcoming summit is an opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in dentistry. CHAPTERS 00:00 - Introduction and Reunion 09:03 - Hygiene Reappointment Percentage 15:03 - Mitigating No-Shows and Improving Patient Engagement 35:49 - The Value of Scarcity in Scheduling 42:28 - The Role of AI in Dentistry REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit 2024 Dental Intel

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 344 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden GUESTS: Dr. Trey Tippit and Dr. Dwight Peccora Join us as we break down the well know Harvard Business Review: "Who's got the Monkey" and apply it to the world of delegation, boundaries, and time management in the dental practice. We explore the concept of 'monkeys' - those pesky tasks or problems we delegate to others - and provide invaluable insights on effective delegation strategies and problem-solving techniques. From setting clear expectations to fostering open communication, we'll uncover the keys to preventing monkeys from taking over your work life. Get ready to empower yourself and your team to tackle challenges head-on while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. TAKEAWAYS Delegation is essential for effective management and growth in any organization. Setting boundaries and managing expectations are crucial for preventing tasks and problems from becoming overwhelming. Clear communication and time management are key to successful delegation. Taking ownership of one's responsibilities and empowering others to take ownership of theirs leads to a more efficient and productive workplace. Set a structured time to address problems and have conversations with the team. Avoid discussing important matters over email or text messages. Assign a specific time and level of responsibility for each task or problem. Leaders should empower their team and encourage independent thinking. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial for personal and professional growth. Building and selling small dental practices can be a successful business model. There are different approaches to scaling dental practices, with some dentists opting for a decentralized network and others choosing centralization and consolidation. Outsourcing certain aspects of dental practice operations, such as revenue cycle management, can help streamline processes and improve efficiency. The future of AI in dentistry holds promise, but the technology is still evolving and its full potential has yet to be realized. The dental industry may experience a Renaissance in the coming years, with increased investment and consolidation. Collaboration and learning from others in the industry, even those with different approaches, can lead to valuable insights and growth opportunities.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 343 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak TAKEAWAYS Comprehensive diagnosis is essential, but effective delivery of treatment plans is equally important. Recording consultations can help dentists improve their presentation skills. Fear of rejection and discomfort can hinder effective enrollment. Empathy and understanding the patient's perspective are crucial in the enrollment process. Body language and context play a significant role in treatment presentations. Use patient-benefited language and avoid technical jargon to effectively communicate with patients. Record frequently asked questions and provide videos or resources to patients prior to consultations. The belief set and confidence of the doctor are important factors in patient acceptance. Storytelling and leadership can engage patients and build trust. Avoid talking to patients in a supine position and consider using consultation rooms for treatment presentations.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 342 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden GUESTS: Dr. Trey Tippit and Dr. Dwight Peccora TAKEAWAYS Understanding the differences between acquisitions and startups is crucial in making informed decisions. Financial factors such as revenue, debt-to-revenue ratio, and cash flow play a significant role in acquisitions. Operational efficiencies and utilization rates are key metrics to consider in underperforming practices. Determining the purchase price based on body count can help in evaluating the value of an acquisition. Body count, or the active patient count, is an important metric to consider when evaluating an acquisition. Different metrics, such as average production per patient visit, can provide insights into the efficiency of a practice. Addressing attrition and periodontal disease is crucial in maintaining patient retention and improving overall oral health. Using effective verbiage and communication techniques can help navigate uncomfortable conversations with patients and team members. A letter of intent (LOI) is a non-binding agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of an acquisition, and it is important to clearly communicate expectations and components in the LOI. Negotiating the deal involves discussing important components such as non-compete clauses. Due diligence is crucial and should include reviewing financial data, evaluating equipment and IT systems, and assessing the team and culture of the practice. Using memorandums of understanding (MOUs) and letters of intent (LOIs) can help facilitate the acquisition process. Phasing in changes after the acquisition can help build trust and retain the team. Learning from mistakes and continuously improving the acquisition process is essential.

Understanding your EBITDA is crucial for practice growth and valuation. Culture plays a significant role in practice value and patient satisfaction. Innovation, technology, and AI are driving same store growth and improving patient care. Joining a DSO can provide dentists with more opportunities for career advancement and financial stability. Working for a DSO can provide greater job security and protection against unpaid wages compared to private dental offices. DSOs have better quality control measures in place, ensuring a higher standard of care for patients. The dental profession is expected to become more consolidated, with DSOs accounting for a larger percentage of practices. As consolidation increases, valuations are likely to rise due to decreased supply and increased demand. The consolidation of the dental profession may pose an existential threat to insurance companies. Market conditions, including interest rates and political factors, can impact deal flow in the dental industry.

HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak GUESTS: Leo and Zach TAKEAWAYS Dentists should have a basic understanding of SEO to avoid being taken advantage of by outside vendors. User experience is a crucial factor in SEO, and dentists should focus on providing a seamless and valuable experience for their website visitors. AI is becoming increasingly important in SEO, but it should be used as a tool for curation rather than a replacement for human input. Dentists should be cautious of plagiarized content and strive to create original and valuable content for their websites. User experience and authority are crucial for generating valuable content. Strategic marketing, which considers the synergy between different elements, is more effective than tactical marketing. The four metrics to measure marketing success are: more eyes on the content, click-through rate, conversion rate, and sales. Mastering topical relevance is essential for improving search engine rankings and attracting the right audience.
