In this episode of The Dental CEO Podcast, Scott Leune tackles one of the most important questions in the profession: does dentistry still make sense as a career? With record-high student debt, stagnant associate pay, and rising stress, many young dentists feel stuck in roles that limit income, autonomy, and fulfillment. Scott contrasts the challenges of associateships with the opportunities of practice ownership, making the case for why ownership remains the clearest path to building wealth, freedom, and long-term satisfaction. Whether you’re a student, an associate, or an owner, this episode will reshape the way you think about the future of your career.
