The speakers discuss the challenges of finding associates, the impact of corporate consolidation, financial realities, and the burden of student debt. They also delve into the appeal of corporate contracts, work-life balance, and the importance of patient relationships in the context of personalized care versus corporate efficiency.   takeaways Corporate dentistry is on the rise, affecting private practices. Finding associates for private practices is increasingly challenging. Student debt is a significant burden for new dentists. Corporate contracts often offer higher starting salaries but come with hidden costs. Work-life balance varies significantly between corporate and private practices. The consolidation of dental practices is driven by financial backing from private equity. Patient relationships are crucial for personalized care in dentistry. The financial realities of running a dental practice have changed post-COVID. Dentists need to be aware of the terms in their contracts with corporate entities. The future of dentistry may lean more towards corporate models, impacting patient care.   titles Navigating the Dental Landscape: Corporate vs. Private The Challenges of Finding Dental Associates   Sound Bites "There's always a need for it."

Group dental practices are common now, but that was not the case thirty years ago when solo practitioners dominated the space. On this special episode of Raise the Line produced in collaboration with Areo Dental, we're going to hear from two leading figures in changing that paradigm, Dr. Rick Workman, the founder and executive chairman of Heartland Dental and Pat Bauer, the company's CEO. As you'll learn in this fascinating conversation led by Areo Dental's co-CEOs -- Dr. Anushka Gaglani and Dr. Abhishek Nagaraj -- Workman and Bauer grew Heartland from a handful of practices into the largest dental support organization in the US with more than 1,700 locations. Workman attributes that success to thinking of their members as customers, and making sure to create value for them and respect for dentistry. “We have to understand they have to have clinical autonomy and our job is to do everything we can to make their lives better and easier and to always honor the patient.” Heartland does that by providing everything from operational support to benchmarking for quality assurance to vetting technology, among many other services. From a business perspective, Bauer thinks an additional factor in Heartland's growth has been being in synch with the needs and goals of the practices. “It's about alignment with our doctors, alignment with the owners, alignment with all the teams, and that led us to be able to continue to grow because more and more people become successful.” Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about the evolution of dental practices in the US, what it means for patients, and what lies ahead for the field. Mentioned in this episode:https://www.areodental.com/https://heartland.com/

On this episode, we talk to Dr. Hamza Gaj about this experience in the corporate dentistry vs private practice world. He explains how he felt the recruiters weren't always honest with dental students. They promised the world to the students only to find out later, what the recruiters promised was not at all true. Dr. Gaj also felt his experience was one of disrespect for him as the dentist and was treated not as a doctor but an employee on the same level as the assistants. He really goes in details about what he has noticed in corporate dentistry that new doctors and dental students should look out for. There was alot to unpack from this conversation. Enjoy

In this episode, we have the pleasure of having Dr. Kyle Dumpert, Dr. Ashley Elizondo and Dr. Gary Dennis on to talk about private practice dentistry vs corporate dentistry. This topic is a very heated topic in dentistry today. Some dentists are fighting to keep dentistry private without the influence of corporations and others are working with corporations to ease the hardship of running a business. We hope you enjoy the different viewpoints and learn something from all the guests.

Today there is a new Strategy framework that is growing in popularity called Blue Ocean Strategy. I wish to introduce some of its Ideas here. This is an improved alternative to the intense industry competition and rivalry of Red Oceans. Blue Ocean Strategies emphasize Creating Not Competing, Creating New Market Space and Not Competing in the existing space. Again, Create don’t Compete. Value Innovation is the Cornerstone of Blue Ocean Strategy. Value innovation reduces Cost by Eliminating and Reducing factors not needed or desired by customers, while simultaneously raising customer value by creating elements the industry has never offered. This combines what previously had been considered impossible; lowering cost and improving value. In the old strategy framework, great value could be created only by adding more features with more cost. If one desired to be the low-cost provider, features had to be removed so costs could be cut. Consider what follows to be a Primer on Blue Ocean Strategy. The listener is directed to 2 books that outlines well this Framework, the first is Blue Ocean Strategy and the newest edition, Blue Ocean Shift. I would rank these book as essential reading, you will not be disappointed, I promise! The Blue Ocean website has volumes of information and examples too. We have already introduced Value Innovation as the Cornerstone of Blue Ocean Strategy. Value Innovation lowers cost by eliminating and reducing non-essential factors while simultaneously raising and creating new ones the industry has not offered. This is best visualized by drawing a Strategy Canvas, one of the first steps in the Blue Ocean Journey. A strategy canvas shows : 1. the strategic profile of an industry by depicting the current competing factors and possible future factors. For example in dentistry competing factors could include, price, convenience, location, office environment, services offered, availability of appts, payment options, technology, insurance plans accepted, cosmetic dentistry, future factors might include a treatment guarantee, treatment outcome data, along with Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Team Treatment 2. Next, the strategic profile of current and potential competitors are charted, helping to identify which of the competing factors they invest in. Potential Competitors could include Corporate or Large Group Practice, Single Family Dental Practice along with a High Touch Esthetic and Cosmetic Practice. If you perform specialty procedures then other specialists could be competitors. 3. Finally, A To-Be Strategy Canvas is created which shows which key resources you will focus on to create a value curve that diverges from your competitor's offerings. A compelling tagline is then created that distills this strategy into words that can capture people’s imagination. Another revealing exercise is the 4 Actions Framework, the hallmarks here are Eliminate, Reduce, Raise and Create. *Eliminate- for these factors taken for granted, that create no value should be eliminated- I don’t have a good example of these, maybe you can think of one do! *Reduce- here, one seeks to reduce pain points which the industry ignores- multiple forms to fill out, wait times for appts. *Raise- means just that, raising or improving above industry stand- payment options, insurance plans, comprehensive services, expanded hours, the predictability of tx, *Create- creating factors never offered before- treatment guarantee/warranty, treatment outcome data, Multidisciplinary Team Tx that freely shares patient information, a mobile portal, virtual consults. The Four Actions Framework eliminates factors that do not add value for buyers, reduces factors that have been overdesigned, raises factors that are highly valued by buyers and creates new factors that had previously never been considered or offered. The Blue Ocean Framework will also cause you to look at yourself, your practice and your markets differently. Other ideas to consider and questions to ponder, the answers to which are important to unlocking the greatest value for your patient/customers. 1. Why don’t patients choose you or your practice? If they leave did they trade up or trade down and why? 2. Who are your customers? Who are your stakeholders? We immediately think of the patient, but one must think much differently. For many patients it is their employer who has purchased their insurance, could also be a parent or grandparent helping a family member. The front office staff of your specialist offices can function as both customers, receiving referrals, as well as a source or supplier of new patients for your practice. 3. What if you shifted your focus from just the patient to some of these other groups? Could unique value radically different from that presently offered be created? Think of the possibilities! 4. Do you Provide a Total Solution for your patient/customer? The simplest way to do this is to think about what happens to your patient before, during and after your service. The more of a one-stop, bundled service you can provide, the greater the convince and hence the greater the value to your customer. Maybe you should provide the products you recommend in your office and eliminate your patient having to shop for them. Compliance will more than likely do up! 5. Solve your customer's major pain points. Understand what they are! Every pain point is an opportunity to unlock hidden value and create new demand. These pain points are the reasons why customers are dissatisfied and buyers refuse to participate. In the blue ocean shift process, pain points are blatant opportunities to change the playing field fast. 6. Think across time trends. What trends have a high probability of impacting your practice, are irreversible and are evolving in a clear trajectory? Certainly, Corporate Dentistry is one trend, digital dentistry is another. How will these trends impact you? Given this, how can you open up unprecedented customer utility? 3 Factors of Good Strategy include 1. FOCUS 2. DIVERGENCE- value curves stand apart 3. COMPELLING TAG LINE- clear and truthful message Finally, avoid Red Oceans which includes; 1. Conventional thinking. 2. Focusing on being the best. 3. Focusing on the same buyer group. 4. Defining the scope of service offerings similarly. 5. And Focusing on current competitive threats. https://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/ https://www.isc.hbs.edu/about-michael-porter/Pages/default.aspx

Welcome and Happy New Year! The big news in dentistry is the announcement of Aspen Dental-branded Offices opening in 2 Walgreens located in Florida. This collaboration, brings together Walgreens, a leader in understanding the intersection of retail and health care, and Aspen Dental, a brand that has made dental care affordable and accessible to millions of patients for more than 20 years.” The announcement of the Aspen/Walgreens partnership will serve as an example for the experts to repeat the rhetoric that the solo dental practitioner is a lone wolf and dying breed and that the dentistry of the future will be delivered through a DSO corporate structure with an employee dentist, rather than an owner dentist. It has already been predicted that since physician practices have followed this trend, dentistry will too. I wish to use this podcast episode as an opportunity to dig little deeper and maybe go down some rabbit holes to say, like Mark Twain said, “The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated!” I believe there is an exciting future for dentists and dentistry. Yes, the future will look different from the present, but a dentist with an entrepreneurial mindset directed at continuously creating value for the patient will always be welcome in the market. The data presented here is gleaned from the ADA Health Policy Institute analysis of Distribution of Dentists, along with CMS, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Service. There are 2 distinct areas which are important here; Utilization by the consumer, and Practice Ownership. The ADA research shows that dental care utilization patterns are changing dramatically in the United States. Over the past decade, important trends were identified. One, the pattern of dental care utilization was very different for adults compared to children. The percent of adults with a dental visit in the last 12 months decreased from a peak of 41 percent in 2003 to 37 percent in 2010. For children, this increased from 42 percent in 2000 to 46 percent in 2003 and roughly held steady through 2010. Stated alternatively, in 2010 63% of adults did not go to the dentist, compared to 54% of children who did not seek routine dental care. Two, trends were different based on income. Utilization declined for middle-income adults from 38 percent in 2003 to 34 percent in 2010, and for higher income adults from 54 percent in 2003 to 51 percent in 2010. Again, that means for middle-income adults, 66% did not seek care, while 49% of higher income adults did not seek care. The main driver of the decline in utilization among adults and the increase in utilization among children is shifting dental benefits. Basically, more and more children are covered by some form of dental benefits (mainly Medicaid), while more and more adults are finding themselves uninsured for dental care. The Landmark Healthcare Legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will expand dental benefits for children. Pediatric dental benefits are one of 10 essential health benefits mandated by the law. The ADA's analysis estimates that up to 8.7 million children will gain extensive dental benefits because of health reform. About one-third of these children will gain Medicaid coverage, and two-thirds will receive private dental coverage. For adults, however, nothing in the Act will reverse the current decline in dental benefits coverage and utilization. The third trend is the aging of the population. Dental care use among those 65 and older is holding steady. On a per-patient basis, this age group also spends the most on dental care—$796 in 2010, a large portion of it out of pocket. Per-patient spending levels for seniors also are on the rise. Given that there will be a lot more people in this age group as the U.S. population ages, seniors are going to become an important driver of the dental care economy. That’s very important so let’s say it again….. SENIORS ARE GOING TO BECOME AN IMPORTANT DRIVER OF THE DENTAL CARE ECONOMY! Digging a little deeper, for seniors the biggest barriers to care are: Cost, no teeth, fear, inconvenient location or time, trouble finding a dentist, as well as no perceived need are the greatest barriers. Let's change gears and look at Practice ownership, which has shown similar changes. Overall, 80% of dentists in private practice are owners, according to the data. This is considerably higher than the rate among physicians which is now less than half. But the more interesting aspect is the trends over time. Practice ownership rates in dentistry are declining slowly and steadily. They are declining for almost every age group. Male dentists are seeing declining ownership rates, although for female dentists there has been no change. These data indicate that the decline in practice ownership rates in dentistry is not being driven solely by the “de-aging” and “feminization” of the dentist workforce. Older male dentists are also less likely to own a practice. Among physicians, the decline in practice ownership is much more pronounced from 61% to 47%. The greatest changes for dentistry are in the younger age group ( https://www.cms.gov/research-statistics-data-and-systems/statistics-trends-and-reports/nationalhealthexpenddata/downloads/highlights.pdf> https://www.aegisdentalnetwork.com/news/2018/12/17/new-aspe-dental-office-opens-in-collaboration-with-walgreens> https://www.ada.org/en/science-research/health-policy-institute/publications/infographics> https://www.physicianleaders.org/>

Sticking with the theme of good value for the money on consulting we follow up Laura Hatch with Travis Hornsby, founder of Student Loan Planner. Obviously student loans are getting out of hand and its probably the number 1 question students/new graduates have questions about. In this episode we dive right into the issues of how this happened, how to pay them off, and the options in which to do it.   I have to admit I was skeptical about this interview when we set up but was blown away with Travis. His wife is an MD so he has a unique relationship to the medial field. In addition, his fees for analyzing your loans and giving non-biased advice are super reasonable. His flat fees are $199 for an individual and $299 for a couple where they both have debt.   Reality is financial advisors and your family friend is probably the worst places to go to get advice on this subject. This is a great episode to share with friends!

As health insurance companies and corporate chains buy up surgeries, some dentists say benchmarks and bonuses are influencing the type of treatment you get when you're in the chair. Paddy Manning reports.

DSOs: What are they? According to Kevin Cain, PhD, Corporate Dentistry is “…almost always used as a synonym for dental support organizations (DSOs). These organizations (such as Heartland Dental, Aspen Dental, Great Expressions Dental Centers, and Pacific Dental Services) represent the early stages of dental industry consolidation.” Translation: DSOs are commoditizing dentistry. For more on that particular topic and how to De-Commoditize Dentistry, I'll direct you to the first two episodes of THE Jerry Jones Radio Show. In today's episode, we'll dive into the 2(+) models of DSO operations and share the upsides and downsides of DSOs. Jerry is unique in that he operates a DSO-model dental office AND has started franchising his concept to others in dentistry.   Support the show (https://jerryjonesdirect.com)
