    In this episode of the Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Drew Phillips breaks down how your dental practice's calendar is more than just a schedule—it's your growth engine and valuation tool. This is the first of a two-part deep dive on practice capacity, focusing on how to measure, optimize, and leverage both provider and facility capacity to maximize revenue, improve cash flow, and set your practice up for long-term growth.Key Points:Your calendar is your growth engine – it's not just a schedule.Capacity = how many patients your practice can see.Facility capacity: What your building can handle (rooms, ops, equipment).Provider capacity: How many patients each doctor or hygienist can see.Personal capacity: Your own limits or preferences.Dentistry pricing is limited, so growing patient volume is key to increasing revenue.Small scheduling changes can create big growth (e.g., moving new patient exams out of hygiene chairs).Utilization gaps (open spots in your schedule) cost money—filling them boosts profit.You can grow revenue without adding staff or overhead by optimizing schedules.Next episode: How to grow your patient base and predict future needs.

    The bridge you're walking across has missing planks. Every step feels uncertain, progress slows to a crawl, and you might even consider turning back. This perfectly captures what running a dental practice feels like when critical systems are missing or broken.Most dental practices struggle with five fundamental gaps: inadequate onboarding that never fully integrates team members into the culture; collections and financing systems that allow money to leak through cracks; chaotic scheduling that creates daily stress instead of predictable production; case acceptance approaches that focus solely on the dentist rather than leveraging the entire team; and leadership systems that fail to create accountability and coordination. The consequences manifest as constant frustration, team turnover, and profitability challenges.Take Control of Your Practice and Your Life We help dentists take more time off while making more money through systematization, team empowerment, and creating leadership teams.

    In this encore episode, we detail the oral-gut microbiota axis, detailing the oral microbiome and its relationship with the intestinal microbiome. We discuss the development of oral biofilm, the transition from plaque to dental calculus, and potential impacts of oral dysbiosis, while highlighting intestinal health and focusing on Fusobacterium nucleatum. Topics:1. Overview of the Oral Microbiome and the Oral-Gut Axis - The oral cavity and the gut: microbially dense sites. - Anatomically distinct but connected and capable of influencing each other. - The oral microbiome. - Microbial distribution: topography and chemistry of oral surfaces. 2. Oral Cavity Anatomy and Microenvironments - The vestibule and oral cavity proper. - Lined by oral mucosa, which varies in structure. - Unique ecological niches that support different microbial populations. 3. Tooth Structure and Relevance to Microbial Colonization - Teeth are embedded in the alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible. - Tooth structure. - Long-term microbial colonization and biofilm development. 4. Biofilm / Dental Plaque Development - Biofilm begins with the formation of the acquired pellicle.- Pioneer species secreting extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).- Secondary colonizers coaggregate.- Coaggregation is species-specific.- Example.- Aerobes can lower local oxygen levels, creating micro anaerobic niches that support obligate anaerobes. 5. Maturation of the Biofilm  - Biofilm composition shifting to anaerobic, proteolytic species such as P. gingivalis. - F. nucleatum: a bridge species. 6. Mineralization and Formation of Dental Calculus - Mineralization, calcium and phosphate deposition. - Dental calculus. 7. Oral Dysbiosis  - An imbalance in the oral microbial community. - Potential signs and symptoms. - Halitosis, swollen or bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity. 8.

    118:Dental Financial Planning: Turning Chaos into Financial Freedom - Part 8In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read, CPA CFP®, continues the financial planning series for dental practice owners by focusing on a critical phase three step: determining your payroll (W-2 income) as an S-Corp owner.Wes explains how payroll fits into your broader business financial plan, why it matters for tax efficiency, and how it interacts with retirement plan strategies like 401(k)s and defined benefit plans. You'll learn when to keep your W-2 lower to save on FICA taxes, and when to raise it to maximize retirement contributions and long-term wealth building.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The five-step sequence of financial planning for dental practice owners.Why S-Corp owners must pay themselves a W-2 salary and how the IRS views it.The relationship between W-2 income, K-1 distributions, and taxable income.How different retirement plan strategies (solo 401k, Roth 401k, profit share, defined benefit) affect payroll decisions.The three funding “buckets” in a 401(k): elective deferral, safe harbor, and profit sharing.Why Roth 401(k)s are powerful for building a tax-free retirement bucket.Guidelines for setting W-2 payroll:No retirement plan: Keep W-2 as low as possible ($75K–$100K minimum).Basic 401(k) without profit share: Stay around $100K–$125K.401(k) with profit share and defined benefit plan: Increase W-2 up to IRS maximums (~$350K in 2025).The benefits and costs of defined benefit plans—and why they can be worth it for high earners.How “tax diversification” (tax-free, tax-deferred, taxable buckets) increases long-term flexibility and savings.

    117: Dental Financial Planning: Turning Chaos into Financial Freedom - Part 7In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read, CPA, CFP®, breaks down how dentists can turn tax chaos into predictable, stress-free planning. He shares why relying on your CPA only at tax time often leads to big surprises and how a structured approach, meeting mid-year and again in Q4, keeps finances on track. By using payroll strategically to cover nearly all taxes, dentists can avoid penalties, manage their cash flow more effectively, and replace large, unexpected bills with a small, manageable refund.Wes also explains why payroll is more than just a paycheck; it's a tax strategy tool. From maximizing retirement contributions to putting kids or a spouse on payroll, timing expenses, and leveraging deductions like the home office, payroll decisions drive both tax savings and financial efficiency. Integrated planning across tax, payroll, and financial management ensures dentists stay ahead and build long-term wealth without the stress of last-minute fixes.Key PointsAim for a small refund ($1K–$5K), not big surprise bills.Forecast taxes 2–3 times per year (mid-year + Q4).Use payroll withholdings to cover 100% of taxes and avoid late penalties.Payroll drives key strategies: retirement savings, FICA planning, and paying family members.Most tax strategies must be implemented before December 31.Integrated planning avoids inefficiencies from juggling multiple advisors.

No, not this podcast... but the recordings we got while with the AMAZING people of exocad (https://exocad.com/) at IDS 2025. It was a wonderful trip and we got to meet and talk to a lot of fantastic people from around the world. This week is no different as we meet a married couple that met in a lab, married, and now own a lab. Agata Bak is from Poland but went to London to find more opportunities for dental technology. Iman Ansari is from Iran and also ended up in London. They both worked at the same lab and it took Iman a while to win Agata over, but he did, and they fell in love. After getting married and working at a few other labs, they put everything on the line and opened Black Pearl Dental Lab (https://www.instagram.com/agatabak.dt/reels/?hl=am-et) where they specialize in high end fixed work. Then we meet the past President of exocad (https://exocad.com/) North America Larry Bodony. Larry recently retired but still stopped by to tell us the awesome story on how he got the job when at IDS 2011. Taking a chance on a new design software and them taking a chance on Larry, set into motion of growing exocad in North America. It took time and work, but soon exocad was gaining popularity. Larry talks about those early years, his use of "reverse" tradeshows, and now that he is retired, working with another new exciting software Bite Finder (https://bite-finder.com/?v=0b3b97fa6688). Let's be honest. There are a LOT of zirconia on the market these days. How do you know which is which? Is one better than another? Is there one that can handle every situation?
