About the Program

According to the American Dental Association, the Top 3 Challenges facing dentists today are:

Staff shortages, recruitment, and retention (60.2%)
Low Insurance reimbursements and claim denials (50.3%)
Increasing overhead costs (21.5%)

In other words... Revenue is down. Costs are up. Good employees are scarce. Debt is at all time highs. But even with these challenges there is still a confident path for success.

The Business in Dentistry Program is not about accounting, tax planning, or sales. Instead, it's an honest assessment of macro environment to identify opportunities for revenue growth and fulfillment in practice.
