We all like to feel we are progressing. How do you take your practice to the “next level”?

An epiphany
Occasionally you have a realisation that is so important that it changes everything.
Problems in practice
Problems will happen. It’s how you deal with them that makes all the difference.
Business success
Dental school teaches you how to fix teeth but doesn’t teach you how to run a profitable business.
Are we all on the same page?
Staff need to be trained to all give the same treatment explanations to patients.
Are you understaffed?
Understaffing is extremely common and has a huge negative impact on productivity.
Advice for recent graduates
The first few years after graduation are difficult. Here are some suggestions to help you.

The power of creativity
Constantly experimenting with new ideas is a way you can make big progress in your practice.
How to have amazing systems
Great systems make your life easy and can make your patients say “wow”.
A dental disaster story
Running a formerly great practice into the ground. A cautionary tale.
Change your new patient form
