Some of the intriguing questions explored in this wide-ranging discussion include: What exactly is a Dental Service Organization (DSO)? How are DSOs evolving and reshaping the dental practice market? Why do DSOs continue to consolidate in the dental space? What makes dentistry an attractive investment for private equity firms, serving as a hedge against riskier ventures? What types of dental practices and practitioners are DSOs most interested in? How has the level of student debt affected DSOs and the consolidation of the dental market? Can clinical excellence be effectively incorporated into a DSO model? Are DSOs more drawn to specialty groups, and which specialties are particularly appealing? Will DSOs extend their reach to rural areas, and what implications might this have? Before diving into the engaging conversation, Dr. Alan Mead thoughtfully provides definitions of key terms such as DSO, EBITA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Amortization), same store growth, private equity (PE), and recapitalization. This ensures that all listeners can fully grasp the depth of the discussion. Don't miss this captivating episode where these knowledgeable dental experts provide valuable insights into the ever-evolving world of DSOs, as they discuss how this transformative concept continues to shape dentistry.

Founder of the Dental Success Institute, Horizon Schools of Dental Assisting, and author of Pillars of Dental Success - our very special guest Mark Costes hosts this BONUS, simulcast episode! He and our very own George Hariri talk about always doing something different and better, evolving visions, and the power of thinking extremely big. 

Dentistry is a business. No matter how much I want to separate myself from that, it just is. Two people whose business acumen I respect a LOT also happen to be dental podcasters. Today I'm joined by Dr. Mark Costes of the Dental Success Institute and the Dentalpreneur Podcast and Dr. Paul Etchison, author of "Dental Practice Hero" and creator of the Dental Practice Heroes Podcast. These guys understand business in a way that most do not. But what I like about them is how freely they give away their knowledge. I brought them together to talk about the state of DSOs in dentistry. Even in the short time that DSOs have been a common topic (which I figure is less than 10 years) the concept has continued to evolve as well as consolidate the dental practice market. Mark and Paul have thoughts...and you get to hear them all in a wide ranging conversation: What is a DSO? How are DSOs evolving? Why are DSOs continuing to consolidate in the dental space? Dentistry is a stable industry for private equity to invest in and is used as a hedge against more risky investments. What kind of dental practices are DSOs interested in? What kind of practices and practitioners are DSOs starting to become less interested in? What's the difference between "multiple practices" and a DSO (Dental Service Organization?) How have current levels of student debt affected DSOs and the consolidation of the dental market? Can clinical excellence really be "baked in" to a DSO model? Are DSOs more attracted to specialty groups? What types of specialties are more attractive? Less attractive? Will DSOs move to rural areas? Mark and Paul use quite a few terms that you might not be 100% familiar with. I had heard them kicked around, but before the conversation starts, I list a couple definitions that you might find helpful: DSO: Simply put, DSO stands for Dental Service Organization. A DSO is a company that helps administer the business aspects (management, marketing and business administration) of the dental practice. EBITA: EBITA stands for "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Amoritization." It is a measure of profitability that a potential investor can use to evaluate a potential company or practice. It's used help make "apples to apples" comparisons between potential investments. EBITA is calculated from financial data reported by a company. Many DSOs valuate dental practices as a multiple of their EBITA. same store growth (or same store sales): a measure of growth used by a DSO to know how well an individual practice within the DSO is doing. A DSO will want to know how well the individual practice is doing vs. the entire DSOs growth. The idea is to invest in a practice that has potential to grow in it's own location separate from its relationship to the whole DSO. Private equity (or PE): a type of investment where investors buy shares of privately-held businesses. Private equity is the money supply that has driven the DSO revolution in dentistry (and many other industries). Private equity money expects a return on their investment much like any investor would.  Recapitalization (aka: recapitalization event): "the second bite at the apple" according to Mark and Paul. Recapitalization is the restructuring of a company's debt and equity mixture, and/or financing. This is usually done to stabilize a company's capital structure. In the context of a DSO, recapitalization might be the sale of a smaller DSO/group to a larger one and/or the buying out of dental owners.

Dr. Taher Dhoon created The Colorado Surgical Institute to teach dentists to place dental implants, among other things. He's a practice owner and one of the Dental Success Institute's "black belt" coaches. It turns out, he's a pretty interesting guy to have a conversation with, too! Some of the topics we covered: How did the Colorado Surgical Institute come about? How does the Colorado Surgical Institute help a dentist assess their existing skill set and what kind of educational challenge they're looking for? Do all dentists need to be surgeons? Was Taher always a "surgery guy?"  Is "implant marketing" pointing people at implants that really just need comprehensive restoration of teeth? Communication skills are probably more important than surgical skills (although surgical skills are important) How have some of the state laws on "volunteer licenses" changed the way dentists will do continuing education moving forward? How important is "hands-on" for a new skill set like implants? Will we be able to get hands-on training for more than just implants and surgery? (spoiler: YES!)

Dr. Mark Costes is far from a typical dentist and dental coach. During his career, he has been able to start or acquire over a dozen successful dental practices during some of the profession's most challenging times. But Dr. Costes's journey was not without its setbacks. In fact, he credits much of his success to the fact that he made more mistakes in his first year of private practice ownership than most dentists make in an entire career. What separated him from the masses, however, was the fact that he viewed each failure and roadblock as a learning experience and an opportunity to improve his business and life. This philosophy, as well as his decision to model the world's most successful entrepreneurs and dentists, has led him to where he is today. Dr. Costes is an international keynote speaker and the founder of the Dental Success Institute, a company committed to helping dentists to achieve their full potential, while recapturing their passion for dentistry. He is also the co-founder and CEO of the Dental Success Network, a vibrant community of dentists from around the globe focused on maximizing access of advanced clinical and practice management education to the profession. Dr. Costes is the International and #1 Amazon Best Selling Author of the book Pillars of Dental Success.

In this Episode Brian shares a drink with an international keystone speaker and an Amazon best selling author, Dr. Mark Costes - founder and CEO of Dental Success Institute. Dentistry was never on Mark's radar until he woke up with his jaw wired shut in the emergency room when he was 16. Going through recovery, he found a deep respect for the people that put his mouth and face back together. With a ridiculous arbitrary goal set before he reached 25, Mark was determined to have one million dollars in the bank and one million dollars in net income at the end of each year. Go big or go home! Having a learning disability and struggling in school, he set out to go to medical school. Three years later and 21 submitted applications, he finally got accepted to dental school and the rest is history. Mark's path to entrepreneurship is incredibly inspiring. His podcast - “The Dentalpreneur Podcast” has nearly 1100 episodes with listeners in over 150 countries. Mark has proven time and time again that his approach works for himself and others.

During his career, he has been able to start or acquire over a dozen successful dental practices during some of the profession’s most challenging times. But Dr. Costes’s journey was not without its setbacks. In fact, he credits much of his success to the fact that he made more mistakes in his first year of private practice ownership than most dentists make in an entire career.

This philosophy, as well as his decision to model the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and dentists, has led him to where he is today. Dr. Costes is an international keynote speaker and the founder of the Dental Success Institute, a company committed to helping dentists to achieve their full potential while recapturing their passion for dentistry. He is also the co-founder and CEO of the Dental Success Network, a vibrant community of dentists from around the globe focused on maximizing access to advanced clinical and practise management education to the profession. Dr. Costes is the International and #1 Amazon Best Selling Author of the book Pillars of Dental Success.

Text ‘bulletproof’ to 345345 to stay in the know about our upcoming book release and the Bulletproof Summit on October 12-13th 2018 in Atlanta!   Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 63 Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak Guest: Dr. Mark Costes, Founder of Dental Success Institute   Key Takeaways: There’s no one right model for setting up a dental practice, it must be tailored to the owner’s goals and the specific geographic area. Boulden predicts the rise of the “Super GP,” a dentist who has skills and training to do more services than they have traditionally. Less will be referred out. Technology is allowing a wider range of dentists to practice a wider range of skills. “The grass is greener” is always psychology. Most dentists don’t have a business. If you’re not making more than 30% as dentist owner then it’s a glorified job.

When it boils down to it, the success of any business can be directly contirbuted to the systems that allow it to run efficiently.
