On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Jas Banga live from Thrive Live 2026 in Las Vegas to talk about one of the most overlooked but critical parts of practice ownership: dental real estate. Jas shares how he went from marketing in the dental world to becoming a leading healthcare real estate advisor, helping dentists across North America make smarter, data-driven decisions around site selection, lease negotiations, renewals, expansions, and acquisitions.  They discuss common lease traps like narrow use provisions, triple net expenses, assignment language, and seller liability, as well as the big question of whether dentists should buy or lease their space. Jas also explains how demographics, saturation levels, traffic flow, future development, and AI-powered market analysis can help doctors choose stronger locations and build long-term practice value.

Most dental teams were never taught about waterline safety in school, yet it has become one of the most important infection control topics in modern dentistry. In this episode, Angela Simmons shares why dental unit waterlines remain a misunderstood area of compliance and what practices need to do to better protect patients. Angela and Kevin Henry discuss the challenges of getting waterline protocols, infection control procedures, and risk management strategies implemented consistently across dental practices and DSOs. They also explore how overloaded dental assistants are often expected to manage critical compliance tasks without enough training, support, or understanding of why those tasks matter. The conversation highlights the value of standardized processes, better communication, and investing in team education to improve compliance, patient safety, and long term practice success.

Send us Fan MailI want you to ask: Who's making these decisions in my office to “hang up” on effective training opportunities? What power do they hold? And what opportunities are we missing? One of the most surprising things we encounter is when dental offices hang up on our team before hearing a single sentence about the training. Think about that for a moment. Here is a training program specifically designed to help dentists and their teams understand laws that directly impact their profitability, patient communications, and insurance interactions, and some offices choose to end the conversation before learning what is being offered. This was a free training opportunity sponsored by the UDA, and taught by those writing and passing dental insurance reform legislation, meaning Tracy and I at MPMB.Support the show

Running a successful dental practice is not just about clinical skill. It is about consistency, training, communication, and making sure every team member understands exactly how things should be done. In this conversation, Kevin Henry and Sherrie Busby break down why clear systems and written protocols are more important than ever for modern dental practices. From staff turnover and training challenges to patient safety and compliance, this episode explores the real problems dental offices face when systems are unclear or constantly changing. Sherrie explains how strong processes help teams stay aligned, reduce mistakes, improve onboarding, and create a smoother experience for both staff and patients. The discussion also covers how dental practices can build better habits, improve accountability, and create systems that are easy for teams to follow and maintain over time. Whether you are managing a growing dental office, training new team members, or trying to improve consistency across your practice, this episode delivers practical insights that can help your team operate more efficiently and confidently every day.

Ash welcomes Dr. Jordan Romano, an internal medicine hospitalist and experienced expert witness to discuss the legal aspects of dentistry and the importance of proactively protecting a dental practice from legal risk. Dr. Jordan Romano explains the role of expert witnesses in malpractice and professional liability cases, particularly their responsibility to define and evaluate the standard of care. He highlights how involvement in expert witness work not only supports the legal system but can also make clinicians more conscientious and careful practitioners by exposing them to real-life cases where things went wrong.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Jordan Romano focuses on the practical elements that help mitigate legal exposure, such as robust documentation, effective communication among team members, and the importance of follow-up procedures. He also addresses common scenarios that lead to liability, the technological challenges surrounding communication, and the value of periodic system reviews or peer evaluations.To learn more and connect with Dr. Romano, visit: https://medicalexpertwitness.com/Key Topics Discussed:The role and responsibilities of a medical expert witnessUnderstanding and applying the standard of care in dentistryProactive strategies for reducing legal exposureImportance and challenges of clear documentationEffective team communication within dental practicesManaging referrals and patient follow-upLegal discoverability and safe use of technologyTeam member liability and the "captain of the ship" conceptIdentifying and addressing high-risk procedures or momentsSystem audits, peer review, and study clubs for practice improvementStandardizing and securing communication and documentation practices

What if the skills you've already mastered in a traditional job were enough to build a profitable, flexible business from home?In this episode of the Inventive Journey Podcast, host Devin Miller sits down with Haylee Gernert, an online business manager who transformed her career from dental office operations into a thriving virtual business. Haylee shares how she leveraged real-world experience—organization, communication, systems thinking, and client care—to create a sustainable work-from-home career without hype, hustle culture, or burning out.Haylee's journey began in Northern California, where she entered a dental assisting program straight out of high school. Within days of graduating, she was earning an income while many of her peers were just beginning college. Over the next 15 years, she worked her way through nearly every role in the dental office, from chairside assisting to office management. Along the way, she developed a deep understanding of operations, conflict resolution, and how to make people feel supported—even in high-stress environments.As life changed and family priorities grew, Haylee began searching for a way to work from home. That search led her to the emerging world of virtual assisting. In the early days, virtual assistants were often former executive assistants or office managers working remotely long before it became mainstream. When COVID accelerated the shift to remote work, demand for skilled virtual professionals exploded.Haylee joined an agency to gain experience and structure, but soon realized she was capable of more than task execution. She wasn't just checking boxes—she was solving problems, building systems, and thinking strategically. With the encouragement of mentors and clients, she began transitioning into higher-level work as an online business manager.In this conversation, Haylee breaks down the differences between virtual assistants and online business managers, the pros and cons of working with agencies, and how to know when it's time to raise rates or step out on your own. She also shares candid lessons about setting boundaries, advocating for your value, and learning to fire clients when necessary.You'll also hear Haylee's advice for anyone starting a service-based business today, including why networking is one of the most underrated growth tools and how listening—really listening—can shape your offers more effectively than guessing ever could.This episode is a must-listen for professionals considering virtual work, freelancers looking to level up, or business owners curious about how online operators actually help companies scale.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Donna Adelson Trial: Clariza Spoltore Testifies on Dental Office Payments and Family Finances The Trial of Donna Adelson took a turn into the world of the Adelson family's dental practice when Clariza Spoltore—a longtime dental assistant who worked for Dr. Harvey Adelson for forty years—took the stand. Her testimony gave jurors an insider's view of the Adelson Institute, the family-run office where both Harvey and Charlie Adelson worked, and where financial dealings may have overlapped with the murder-for-hire plot against Dan Markel. Spoltore testified that throughout her decades of service, she never saw Katherine Magbanua—the woman prosecutors say acted as the go-between in the murder plot—working in the office. Yet, Magbanua appeared to receive payments tied to the practice, raising serious red flags. Spoltore also explained that only Donna and Dr. Harvey Adelson had access to certain records, underscoring the level of control they maintained over finances and administration. On cross-examination, the defense pressed Spoltore on whether she had ever heard Donna speak poorly of Dan Markel. She said no—she had never personally witnessed Donna express hostility toward her former son-in-law. But prosecutors argue the real issue wasn't casual remarks, it was the money trail and the financial records Donna could manage behind closed doors. Why does this matter? Because Spoltore's words help connect the dots between the Adelsons' professional lives and the conspiracy prosecutors allege Donna orchestrated. If Magbanua was being paid without working, those payments could represent hidden compensation for her role in the plot. With her credibility as a loyal employee of four decades, Spoltore's testimony added weight to the prosecution's theory that the family's dental business wasn't just about dentistry—it was also a financial vehicle for covering up a murder-for-hire scheme. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #ClarizaSpoltore #AdelsonInstitute #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #CourtroomDrama
