Life-Changing Denture Delivery
- Denise recalls delivering a denture at 8pm to a woman freed from sex slavery who would see her kids for the first time in 15 years.
- That moment revealed how dentistry can change lives beyond clinical outcomes.
Use Schedule Metrics To Time Hiring
- Check schedule indicators before hiring: are you booked 30+ days, consistently doing 135–140+ production, and truly productively full?
- Use these metrics to decide if you need an associate, hygienist, or expanded hours.
Begin With The End Game
- Start with the end game: know whether you want lifestyle, multi-location growth, or a PE exit because it shapes every decision.
- Clear end goals act as road signs guiding staffing, revenue targets, and strategy.
