Kevin and Zach, along with Alan welcome Scott Shrader from 3D Dentists to the podcast! Scott shares his journey from general sales into dental implant and equipment sales. Now part of the 3D Dentist team, Scott focuses on partnerships and the technology division, guiding dentists through the complexities of selecting and implementing digital tools like scanners, printers, and software. The conversation dives into the practicalities of bringing new digital technology into a dental practice. Key themes include overcoming the fear of rapid obsolescence (highlighting how software updates extend hardware life), the importance of having a clear implementation plan to avoid team frustration, and tailoring the approach—whether it's adopting 3D printing, in-house design software like Exocad, or outsourcing—to fit the specific practice's goals, volume, and team capabilities.

Alan welcomes frequent guest and co-host Dr. Matt Standridge back to Very Dental. They dive into the evolving landscape of dental practice ownership, comparing traditional solo practices with the increasing prevalence of DSOs. The conversation explores the current incentives and hurdles for new dentists, the impact of rising dental school debt, and the practical aspects of introducing advanced procedures like aligner therapy and all-on-X implants into general practices. They also touch on the phenomenon of influencer culture in dentistry and its implications. Mostly they just laugh about our absurd profession and how it continues to change. Key Takeaways: Private practice ownership is becoming increasingly challenging due to factors like rising costs, insurance reimbursements, and patient expectations. The "one doctor, one owner" model may become less common, with more practices incorporating associates or transitioning to alternative models. Many young dentists are less driven by ownership and more interested in alternative career paths, including becoming a dental influencer. Overuse of all-on-X procedures is a concern, with potential for complications and ethical considerations. Orthodontic training, particularly with aligners, offers a high ROI and can improve overall dental skills. "Bread and butter" dentistry still has value and shouldn't be dismissed. Beware of "style over substance" in dentistry, particularly when it comes to advanced procedures. Mentorship (or "coaching") can be valuable, but find trusted sources.

In this episode of The Millennial Dentist podcast, Dr. Sully Sullivan talks about how making changes in your dental practice can lead to better success. He explains that if you want your practice to run differently and achieve better outcomes, you need to change how you do things. This includes offering comprehensive patient financing, using better diagnostic tools, improving communication with patients, and adjusting your scheduling. By doing so, you can move from simple, insurance-based dentistry to more complex and profitable procedures. Dr. Sullivan also shares insights from the 3D Treatment Planning course and introduces the new 3D Dentists app, which provides helpful resources and courses @3:00 Don't Change if it works @4:27 Different Goals? Change Approach @6:54 Examples @11:16 Financial Status @14:52 You need Low Case Acceptance Who is Dr. Sully Sullivan? Dr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months. As a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level. Dr. Sully lectures around the country on cone beam technology, cad/cam dentistry, obstructive sleep apnea, and practice management. He is also an ambassador for the 3D-Dentist teaching facility in Raleigh, NC. As always, thanks so much for listening!

It breaks my heart because I do think we've been given a gift.” (5:23—5:57)“Obviously, there are some things in dentistry you might have to do. But really, we are blessed to be able to create and change an environment that suits you. You don't have to conform to what we've been taught, especially nowadays. Nineties dentistry, you were told you drilled and filled, you referred, and you'll make a pretty good living. But now, you can make it what you want it to be.” (7:58—8:27)“A good place to start is to simply write down what it is you do like about dentistry. Now, my dad told me this story one time — he was a dentist. He's passed away now, but he never had an associate because he could never find anyone that he trusted with his patients or connected with. And I always remember this because he said he was in an interview once and he said, ‘Okay. So, tell me what you like about dentistry.' The associate said, ‘Well,...

The 90-10 Case Acceptance Episode #490 with Dr. Tarun “T-Bone” Agarwal Case acceptance should be as high as possible. That's what you've been led to believe. And to challenge that idea, Kirk Behrendt brings in Dr. Tarun “T-Bone” Agarwal, founder of 3D Dentists, with four tips to help you rethink and improve case acceptance. Sometimes, less is more!

Write ahttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-best-practices-show/id1223838218 ( Review on iTunes) Main Takeaways: Understand the 90-10. Give a good, full diagnosis. Present patients with choices. Always set firm, financial agreements. Utilize third-party financing for patients. Use the three levels of priority scheduling. Offer dentistry in fewer, well-planned visits. Quotes: “I believe we have been massively misled about case acceptance and what case acceptance should be. We're all led to believe that case acceptance should be as high as possible. And I actually want case acceptance to be around 10%.” (6:00—6:12) “Here's what I think happens. We see a tooth, we tell a patient they need a tooth done, and we forget about everything else going on in their mouth. And we never give our patients the chance to say yes to doing all of their dentistry in fewer, well-planned visits.” (6:19—6:33) “The 90-10 concept comes from this: I want 10% case acceptance. And what I mean by that is, if Kirk came in as a patient and he's got a mouth full of old amalgams that are starting to break down, I want Kirk to say, 10% of the time, yes to doing everything. But 90% of the time, I want Kirk to say yes to doing at least one area of his mouth. So, it's a some-or-all concept.” (6:50—7:19) “I tell patients, ‘You have a right to choose to do some of it, none of it, or all of it.' So, 90% choose to do some of it. Some people choose to do none of it. And 10% choose to do all of it in fewer, well-planned visits. And that's the premise of the concept.” (7:20—7:36) “We don't present what people aren't ready to hear, or willing to hear. So, we believe in a nonconfrontational, non-salesy approach to case acceptance. We believe in an influential approach to case acceptance, not an educational approach to case acceptance. And so, we have a four-step process that we teach.” (8:25—8:45) “The first concept is, I think it's our ethical obligation to fully diagnose what all is going on in a patient's mouth. That doesn't mean make up things. That doesn't mean everybody is a full-mouth rehab. That just means if you looked at this patient and you assume — and this is a big assumption that we have to get through our heads — that money is not an object. We have to diagnose with the assumption that money is not an object. And the second assumption I take is, ‘What would you do if this were your mouth?'” (9:17—9:51) “We have a fear of overwhelming the patient. We have a fear of hearing “no”. And I think the crutch of the problem is we don't know what we're looking for. We don't have the diagnostic eyes to see. I'll give you an example. Last week at one of our programs, I put up a picture and I asked all 12 dentists in the room, ‘Put up a treatment plan from this one picture. Assume money is not an...
If you have a great line of products but don't optimize, price and package them strategically, you are leaving money on the table. The truth is, 10% of your customers are willing to pay you 10 times more money if you had the right product or package for them. Every company should think through having an entry-level product, a mid-level product, and an elite-level product for customers with different needs (and pocketbooks!). In today's coaching conversation, Donald Miller talks with Dr. Tarun "T-Bone" Agarwal, Owner of 3D Dentists, an educational service helping dentists run a successful dental practice by simplifying both the business and clinical sides of dentistry. Don helps T-Bone think through different tiers of products that could triple his revenue and help him reach his goal of having a wait list for his programs.

Dentistry is hard. We can only give so much of ourselves and we can only be compassionate to our patients for so long. Dr. Brian McGue teaches sedation with 3D Dentists and at Implant Pathway and is acutely interested in helping dentists avoid burnout from compassion fatigue. So, what is compassion fatigue? Brian and Alan dig in to a topic that many of us relate to but probably haven't put into words yet. This is the first full episode of the "We Are All Broken" podcast series. I'd love to hear from you if you find it helpful and worthwhile and perhaps some other topics you might be interested in hearing discussed!

Neodiamonds from Microcopy Dental are very fine. I mean, all of them are awesome, but some of them are actually “very fine.” Specifically I mean the yellow striped ones they call “finishing” diamonds. I use Microcopy finishing diamonds on just about any patient that I might be spinning a bur on. Very fine finishers do the heavy lifting on composites so polishing is simple and easy. I use them to finish crown preps. I've been known to adjust Emax and Zirconia with them. Once you try them you're going to find a ton of places to use them! And just like all of Microcopy's burs, they're sterile out of the package and single use means they're sharp and efficient and can be disposed of at the end of the appointment! Go check them out at verydentalpodcast.com/veryfine (all one word)! The Very Dental podcast is also supported by our friends at Cosmedent! Cosmedent has just released a new composite that you're going to want to try! It's called “Renamel Bulkfill” and it's here to simplify your posterior composite placement. It rivals the speed and efficiency of amalgam but it's still packable, sculptable and polishes like a dream! You can cure up to 4mm increments, so it's sure to increase the efficiency of working in the posterior. It's radiopaque for easy identification on recalls, too! I'll get a chance to try it clinically next week and I'll give you my review with photos in the Very Dental Facebook group! Cosmedent is offering a killer 20% off deal for Very Dental Podcast Network listeners by using the coupon code “VDP21” at checkout on their website!

Haseeb Sajid is the second-generation owner of TBS Dental Instruments, a company that has been providing high-quality dental equipment to practices across the country since 1992. They're also behind the U.S. patented FRINGS technology, or forceps with spring. FRINGS replaced the need to manually open dental forceps, which allowed practitioners to use the tool with much less stress on the hand. To make dentistry as efficient as possible, Haseeb and his team continue to innovate and create tools that could one day replace what every dental practice is using today.Today, Haseeb joins us to share the meaning of the company name, a short story of how it started, and the changes he and his brother made when they inherited the company. He discusses what sets them apart from other instrument manufacturers, especially when it comes to quality and where their tools are made.

There’s always a first time for everything, and it’s no different when it comes to dentistry. It’s not even about how long you’ve been running a practice. Some cases just don’t come to us, but dentists should actively seek out doing any treatment for the first time. More than just getting the experience, the people you meet and work with, the mindset you must possess, and the processes you will learn can be life-changing from both a business and personal perspective. Today, I share the story of my first hybrid patient and why I decided to take the case. I discuss the steps involved when it comes to hybrids, my experience working with a dental surgeon, and what I learned from them. I explain what type of hybrid cases you should have in your practice and how you can provide the most seamless customer experience. I describe your front-office team's role and why I believe they are the bottleneck of our practice. I discuss how a medical representative can help prepare your team for new procedures and services. I also share advice for those who want to be in the dental industry and what I wish I knew when I was getting started."I encourage every surgically-oriented dentist to get into doing hybrids yourself. It's life-changing work." - Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:My first hybrid patient and what pushed me to do it.How my surgeon helped me get to a higher level of dentistry.Working with my surgeon and how we helped each other's businesses.How working with a surgeon can be a dentist's safety net.Understanding which hybrid cases dentists should handle.The different surgeons we work with at 3D Dentists.How you can offer a frictionless experience for the patient. Why it's critical to train each of your team members step-by-step.The value of a medical rep in the context of team training.Why the number one technology for your business is the camera.My one piece of advice for those who want to get into dentistry.Our Favorite Quotes:"I, for sure, wouldn't be where I'm at today if I have not partnered with the right-minded surgeon to help me get to these levels." - Tarun Agarwal"The surgery is the daunting part.

When 3 friends jump in the booth and talk about credit card roulette, woke, and a little philosophy about dental CE... it's always a good time.

It may seem odd to hear this, but one of the best ways to learn how to run a dental practice is by reading books that aren’t about dentistry. A dental practice is, at its core, a business with a few or a lot of moving parts. When you look at your practice this way, your references are no longer limited to dentistry books and will expand to also include some of the best business and investment books on the market. This is why for the first-ever Book Club episode, our team will be analyzing and applying what we learned from reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.Today, we discuss the reasons why we decided to start a book club series, why we chose to review and analyze Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and how we relate it to our practice. We share why the book was a game-changer for its time as well as some of our favorite passages. We explain the difference between being rich and being wealthy and why we, as a team, are just rich. We describe how the book has impacted our careers, our financial mindset, and how we look at different ways to raise money. We discuss why Robert isn’t fond of paying debts before investments. We discuss what makes a dentist a “rich dad” versus a “poor dad.” We also explain how to receive the support and opportunities the government offers to lower your business tax. "The only time you should sell something is when you have something to do with that money." - Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:Why we’re focusing on books in general and not just dental books.Some of the books that greatly impacted the way we run our business.Why Rich Dad, Poor Dad was a pivotal book for my career.My thoughts on partnering in a business. Differentiating the Rich Dad and Poor Dad of the dental industry.The big successes that come when you add different verticals in your business.Why you shouldn't pay your debts first before investing.Building your assets and where you can put your money today.The benefits of a 1031 Exchange for your assets and taxation.Setting expectations for the associates you hire.The difference between being rich and being wealthy.Why we're supporting the economy when we buy real estate.Our Favorite Quotes:"Maximize whatever the government allows you to do with tax deferred savings." - Tarun Agarwal"The mistake we all make with associates is we're expecting perfection and we're expecting people like ourselves." - Tarun AgarwalThe solo owner will only make money when he or she is there. The multi-doctor owner won't lose when they're not there." - Tarun AgarwalResources Mentioned:Rich Dad, Poor Day by Robert KiyosakiAtomic Habits by James ClearSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

Running a growing business requires plenty of resources, arguably much more than starting one. The only difference is, you already know what you’re doing once you’re in the growth phase, and the problem now has shifted to resource management. Just like any business, dental practices also have a scarcity issue when it comes to four key resources: Time, mental bandwidth, physical strength, and economics. How should a business owner manage these four key resources? Today, I discuss my thoughts on the four scarce resources in any business and what many business owners should focus on to manage them. I share what I think most practitioners get wrong when it comes to business efficiency and explain why the ultimate goal of a business owner shouldn’t be to get more patients. I describe what ‘survival mode’ is in business and why it’s not advisable to be hyper focused on survival. I also share the reason why the economics of a business should be the last priority."There's a lot of focus on efficiencies in a dental practice, but efficiencies don't matter if you don't schedule differently."This week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:Updates on 3D-Dentists and what we're planning for the podcast in 2021.My thoughts on how many define balance and how we should define it.How to keep your balance as consistent as possible.What a real efficient practice should look like for many practitioners.The one flaw that efficiencies are built around.Why dentists shouldn't aim for more patients in their practice.Why the brain should be thought of as a pipe.The importance of maintaining physical strength as we age.Why I believe economics should be the last thing we think about.How survival mode kills businesses... and people.Our Favorite Quotes:"Economic well-being is the outcome of doing all the right things." - Tarun Agarwal"We should all reach that point where we're not as economically worried." - Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

I attended an IV sedation program and to say that I learned a lot is an understatement. From knowing how it can attract more patients to how it positively affects the dentist’s work, most practices will definitely benefit from offering IV sedation services. However, there are some points to consider before you add IV sedation to your standard practice procedure. If you have oral sedation already, do you still need to add IV? Can IV sedation boost profit? Today, I share my funny and humbling experience in an IV sedation program. I describe some of the facts I learned from my own 3D Dentists members regarding sedation and why I think all dentists should consider sedation services. I explain the benefits of sedation from both patient and dentist’s viewpoint and how it can make your practice more attractive overall. I also discuss some of the cons of sedation services as well as some of the must-haves before a practice should add them."For general dentistry, oral sedation is fantastic but as we get into more surgical work, we need the IV sedation." This week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:My experience in an IV sedation program.The benefits of adding sedation to your practice.What can count as regular frequency for sedation services.The benefits of oral sedation from the business and patient perspectives.Why oral sedation benefits the dentist more than the patients.Some of the negative aspects of offering oral sedation services.The experience of the volunteers I had during the IV sedation program.The best time to add IV sedation in your practice.My tips on what to have when you add sedation Our Favorite Quotes:"Only about 25% of the practices that participate in our programs are offering sedation services." - T-Bone"More and more people are interested in having sedation, especially when they find out it is a pill and not a needle." - T-Bone"Oral sedation is phenomenal for longer procedures." - T-BoneSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

We all start out working five or six days a week, but the end goal of every business owner should be to work as little as possible without losing business efficiency. Making yourself be more replaceable means you have more time to work on yourself and the business. This is why I am following a 3-day workweek schedule, as it lets me be more productive in projects that not only will improve my business, but also my skills and knowledge as a dentist. Today, I am interviewed by my friends at the Dental Practice Heroes Podcast on how you can structure a 3-day clinical work week. I share my weekly routine and how strict I am with my schedule. I explain how you can reverse engineer your end goals, especially when it comes to your finances. I also discuss some of the struggles we encounter in our business and an important lesson I learned from my dad after a disappointing experience with a business partner. "The biggest and most important investment you’ll ever make… is you.” - T-Bone This week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:● What a 3-Day Work Week really means.● Why I sometimes break my 3-day work routine.● My schedule goal for 2021 and how I plan to make it work.● Tracking my diagnosis and determining costs per diagnosis.● Why we don't schedule by production in our practice.● Reverse engineering procedures to fit your schedule.● Some of the major struggles I encountered in fixing my work week.● How to plan the funds for your preferred lifestyle.● My system for payment plans.● The biggest struggles in our practice and what we're doing about them.● How you can bounce back from a low point in your business.● What people can expect from 3D Dentists and our program in the future.● My advice to new dentists coming into the industry. Our Favorite Quotes:● “Case acceptance, ultimately, is directly related to how much you accept.” - T-Bone● "If you don't know your end goal, you can't reverse engineer anything." - T-Bone● "We don't have a case acceptance problem in dentistry; we have a diagnosis and communication problem in dentistry." - T-Bone Resources Mentioned:● Superfans: The Easy Way to Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, and Build a Successful Business● Making It Easy For Patients to Say "Yes"● Dental Practice Heroes podcast Subscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

Michelle recently dropped by Dentsply Sirona World, a three-day conference for dental professionals held in Las Vegas, where she had the opportunity to speak with three dental hygienists who generously discussed some of the modern technology used both regularly and on occasion in the average dental office. Martin Helmbrecht is the Vice President of Operations for OperaDDS and OperaVR, the latter of which uses virtual reality to calm anxious patients. Meghan Wood works for Raleigh Dental Arts in North Carolina and was at Dentsply Sirona World supporting the 3D Dentists team. Jessica Lawson is based in Nashville and has been practicing dental hygiene for two and a half years. In this time she's worked in an office that is a little bit behind on current technology and one that's on the cutting edge. In this episode, our guests discuss the sedative power of virtual reality, relate their own experiences working out outdated technology, and explain which new tools have benefitted their offices the most. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 2:58 - Martin explains how virtual reality can be a psychological tool for reducing stress in some dental patients. - The guests relate their own experiences working with new and old technology—including X-ray dark rooms! - Why our guests think it's okay to ask about the particulars of an office's technology when interviewing for a position. - What are some absolutely necessary pieces of technology modern offices should have? - What is CBCT (cone beam) technology and why it's such a boon to the average dental office. - How do their patients respond to new dental technology, and how can a little bit of tech go a long way in building patient relationships? - Their advice for keeping your head high when exposed to a lot of new tech while on the job. QUOTES: “Instead of seeing the needles and being afraid, they can sit on the beach while they get the work done.” “Seek out the dentists that do that stuff, because those are the ones that you're gonna enjoy your career with.” “Don't be scared of your doctor. They're not there to make your life miserable.” “If you're somebody who knows you're not going to be into technology, go find an old school office.” “You are here to do the best that you can, and if you miss something, guess what? You're gonna get it the next time.” “Sometimes you've gotta bite the bullet and just be on the lower part of the pole so that you can work your way up.” LINKS: OperaDDS homepage - https://operadds.com/ Martin's email: martin@operadds.com Meghen's email: meghan@raleighdentalarts.com Jessica's email: 3jessicalawson@gmail.com Thank you to Paradise Dental Technologies aka PDT for providing sponsorship for this episode!

Shared Practices | Your Dental Roadmap to Practice Ownership | Custom Made for the New Dentist
Episode 4-36 Dr. Erin Elliott Dr Erin Elliot from 3D Dentists makes her debut on the Shared Practices show. We are more than excited to finally have this rockstar in the dental world tell us about her journey. This is one of those interviews where we get a real, candid view into the life of trying to juggle being a dentist, a mom, and a practice owner. Dr Elliot gives a vulnerable perspective on how juggling all those things is not easy and how she makes it all work. We hope that everyone listening can gain some insights in this great episode! Bio Dr. Elliott grew up south of Boise (in Orange County, CA…. shhh… Don’t tell anybody). After playing college soccer and graduating summa cum laude from Houghton College in Houghton, NY, Dr. Elliott graduated top 5 from Creighton University Dental School in Omaha, NE. She moved to North Idaho as soon as she could. Dr. Elliott loves helping her patients not only smile but sleep better too! When she is not working (which is a lot just ask her family), she loves to spend time with her family of 3 boys (her husband Tom included!), playing soccer, golfing, and reading.

I have a firm belief that dentists aren't achieving their potential - clinically, financially, or enjoyment. And in my opinion it boils down to the fact that we simply don't connect with our patients.This lack of connection decreases case acceptance, has patients choosing to do less dentistry when they say yes, increases our reliance on dental insurance, and drives us to see more and more patients. This ultimately leads to burnout and disenchantment with our profession.In this conversation with Dr. Paul Homoly we discuss how we can better engage with our patients. Paul has been one of my greatest influences in my dental career.Do yourself a favor and take his online training - http://www.3D-Dentists.com/homoly .--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tbonespeaks/message

This is BONUS CONTENT. Back in January 2016 I was interviewed by Gary Takacs on his podcast - The Thriving Dentist Show. In this interview we discussed several strategies to grow your practice from within your practice. We are not talking about internal marketing, but instead about the treatment that is sitting within your practice. What holds you back is simply getting the education to treat and presentation skills to provide this care.

Then he fills us in on how he attempts to balance teaching, clinical dentistry, being a father and managing his weight. If you liked the first half of Tarun's interview, you're going to love episode 12! The DentalHacks Brain Trust discussion for episode 12 is a continuation of our answer to a listener's question. We all have our typical daily routines, but since we live in our own little bubble, the listener wondered what everyone else was doing. Today you'll hear about Dr. Frank Clayton's shopping habit, Dr. Dawn Kulongowski's childbirth experience and Dr. Tammy Bailey's $8 nap!
Dr. Tarun Agarwal isn't your typical dentist. In episode 11 of the DentalHacks podcast, you're going to hear why. The creator of the 3D Dentists learning center, in Raleigh, North Carolina, tells the story of his beginnings and how he became a leading dental educator. Tarun is funny and easy to listen to as he tells some amazing stories of how he got to be the clinician and teacher that he is today. The DentalHacks Brain Trust discussion for episode 11 was inspired by a listener's question. We all have our typical daily routines, but since we live in our own little bubble, the listener wondered what everyone else was doing. This premise sparked the best BrainTrust discussion so far! You'll hear Jason and Alan hilariously delve into the topic with Brain Trust regulars Dr. Tammy Bailey, Dr. Dawn Kulongowski and Dr. Frank Clayton. Do not miss this!
