On today's episode, recorded live at Voices of Dentistry 2026, Dr. Mark Costes chats with Dr. Emily Maslovich, a first-time practice owner just weeks away from opening Bronco Family Dental in Gilbert, Arizona. Emily shares her journey from Midwestern dental student to startup founder, including how she found her location, her grassroots approach to hiring, and why she chose a de novo over an acquisition. They dive into the importance of culture-first hiring, training non-dental team members, and building systems before the chaos of growth begins. Emily also discusses how she's using organic community marketing to build a patient base before day one—and why betting on herself was the best decision she's made.

Are you trapped in hustle mode and afraid of what happens if you slow down?In this episode, Dr. Sana Yusuf jumps right into stepping away from the relentless “hustler” mentality that shaped her academic and professional journey, and into a space where fulfillment is measured by flexibility and presence, not just financial milestones. With refreshing honesty, Dr. Yusuf explains why extreme wealth no longer defines her sense of security. Her practice now covers what matters most: family, stability, and the freedom to breathe. She delves into the exhausting impact of constant gratitude and positivity, revealing how coping habits formed by early traumas can lead to minimizing struggle rather than truly processing it. From navigating the mental weight of multiple business obligations to the life-changing decision to sell her second practice, Dr. Yusuf shares what it really takes to let go and prioritize quality of life over unending hustle.The conversation shifts gears to reveal what works (and what doesn't) in dental practice marketing today. Dr. Yusuf gives a behind-the-scenes look at everything from unsuccessful yearbook ads to surprisingly effective targeted mailers and the evolution of her social media strategy. She also reflects on the pitfalls of chasing volume over vision, emphasizing her desire for a practice known for its distinct strengths, not price wars. Dr. Yusuf discusses the hard-earned lessons of setting boundaries with staff and patients and what she'd do differently after partnership challenges. Plus, you'll hear how her journey is guiding her toward a more focused, identity-driven future and the boundary-setting advice she wishes she'd received sooner.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to recognize when gratitude becomes a survival mechanism, not a solutionThe realities of selling a practice and when it's worth walking awayWhich marketing strategies really deliver for dental practices (and which flop)The importance of niche identity versus chasing growth at any costLessons in staff management, pay negotiations, and setting boundaries with your teamHow to avoid common pitfalls in partnerships and contractsWays to prevent burnout by structuring work hours and communication more intentionallyTechniques for adapting marketing tactics as industry platforms and demographics evolveDr. Yusuf's practical tips for balancing ambition with wellbeingDon't miss this honest, behind-the-scenes episode highlighting the power of boundaries, the truth behind “staying positive,” and the beauty of building a practice that prioritizes depth over constant hustle!‍Sponsors:‍Oryx: All-In-One Cloud-Based Dental Software Created by Dentists for Dentists.

The loan bill hits before your handpiece warms up—and it's bigger than your first apartment. We sat down with Dr. Alan Mead of the Very Dental Podcast to unpack the sticker shock of modern dental education, the real math behind associate versus owner income, and how to build skills that actually move your take-home. No five-step frameworks, just honest stories, practical tactics, and plenty of laughs to keep it human.We start with the big question: is dentistry still worth it when new grads face $4–5k monthly payments? From there, we break down the critical early decisions—whether to chase ownership for upside or remain an associate and become indispensable. You'll hear why leadership and communication pay as well as implants and endo, how to structure CE so it pays you back, and what case selection looks like when you need wins fast. We also talk about DSOs: why they can accelerate skill development and production, and how to spot the burnout traps before they grind your spark into dust.Skill building is a theme throughout: stacking meaningful repetitions, documenting questions in real time, and cornering instructors until ambiguity dies. We share the value of curation—picking a clear clinical lane, aligning your systems and team, and letting focus become your competitive edge. Along the way, we swap dental school war stories, joke about dentists opening doomed restaurants, and remind ourselves that humor is a survival skill when the numbers get heavy.Whether you're a new dentist staring down a $500k note or a seasoned clinician wondering if ownership still makes sense, you'll leave with a clearer playbook: pick a lane, get the reps, invest in communication, and let the value drive the income.

Robots can prep crowns.

More competition. Thinner differentiation. The Five Human Levers That Are Separating Practices: They're not clinical. And they're getting rarer. Where Profit Is Quietly Migrating: Money follows what's hard to replace — and that's changing fast. If you want your practice to be stronger five years from now than it is today… Listen now. The edge didn't disappear.

Are you a high-earning dentist… living paycheck to paycheck? Do you ever feel financially stretched – despite earning well? Are you trapped in dentistry's “golden handcuffs”? And what would your life look like if you worked because you wanted to… not because you had to? In this rare solo episode, Jaz steps away from occlusion and restorative dentistry to talk about something just as important: personal finances and career security for dentists. After going deep down the money rabbit hole — reading books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Simple Path to Wealth, and I Will Teach You To Be Rich — Jaz shares how his upbringing, early career decisions, and financial education shaped his beliefs about wealth, freedom, and dentistry. This isn't financial advice.It's a mindset shift. And for many dentists, it might be the most important episode you hear this year. https://youtu.be/4OXruGIdb_g Watch IC068 on YouTube Your day list reflects your earning power. The work you do each day quietly sets the limits of what you can earn. Exams and single-surface composites create one kind of ceiling; comprehensive cases, ortho, rehab, sedation, and complex restorative work create another. Upskilling changes that ceiling and gives you far more control over your financial future. Want more mindset shifts like this?AskJaz — your on-demand dental brain — is built into the Protrusive App. Key Takeaways High income does not guarantee financial security. Dentistry can become “golden handcuffs” without asset building. Invest in yourself early — skill drives earning power. Lifestyle creep quietly erodes freedom. Financial independence means practicing because you want to. Define your rich life and align spending accordingly.

When Bad Dentistry Is a Cry for Help: Why Dental Professionals Need to Look DeeperA dentist posts about a colleague's terrible work on Facebook. Dozens of comments pile on. Dr. Allison House was the only one who asked a different question: What if that dentist is struggling?In this episode, Dr. House and Shawn Zajas confront one of the most uncomfortable truths in the dental profession. When you see consistently poor clinical work from a colleague, the default response is judgment and criticism. But what if bad dentistry is a symptom of something deeper? Substance abuse. Depression. Financial crisis. Personal tragedy. Burnout.Dr. House shares three real stories from her 26 years in practice that reframe everything:00:00 Intro 04:23 What community do you want to be part of? 17:50 Things aren't always as they seem 20:09 The Facebook post that started everything 22:18 Dentist Concern for Dentist: Arizona's intervention model 24:07 One bad crown is human. Twelve bad crowns is a signal. 26:55 The dentist who went to rehab (and never knew who called) 28:30 "We never give each other any space to be human" 29:08 When patients and team members act out of character 31:36 The care package that changed a team member's trajectory 33:46 When dementia explains the behavior 36:11 Byron Katie's "The Work" and how it applies to dental practice 38:30 Wrap-upOne story involves a colleague whose patients kept showing up with bad work. When a patient reported smelling alcohol on that dentist's breath, Dr. House called Arizona's Dentist Concern for Dentist program. Trained professionals visited the colleague and confirmed a serious addiction. He went to rehab. Dr. House says plainly: "I'm pretty sure that had he continued down that road, he would have died."Another story hits closer to home. Dr. House once told a patient that a famous colleague's work was terrible. Then she tried to redo it. Same result. The patient was nearly impossible to work on. The lesson: bad outcomes are not always bad dentistry.The conversation goes beyond dentists. Dr. House describes a team member whose personality changed overnight. Her daughter had entered a treatment facility, leaving her to raise her granddaughter while processing grief. Instead of termination, Dr. House responded with a care package. She talks about a 15-year patient whose inappropriate jokes turned out to be early-stage dementia, not character failure.Shawn and Dr. House also walk through Byron Katie's "Judge Your Neighbor" exercise, a practical tool for examining your assumptions before reacting. It is a method Dr. House uses regularly in her practice and personal life to see situations from the other person's perspective.The takeaway is clear: one bad day is human.

In this episode of the Less Insurance Dependence Podcast, Naren Arulrajah and Don Adeesha discuss why traditional practice growth strategies like word of mouth referrals and insurance-based patient flow are no longer enough in today's competitive dental landscape. They explore how insurance dependence often conditions patients to expect minimal or "free" dentistry, limiting both profitability and clinical fulfillment. The conversation highlights how modern referrals now happen online through Google reviews, SEO visibility, and digital trust signals. Naren shares why marketing is not about replacing referrals, but about becoming the practice patients can easily find, trust, and choose.

In this episode of The Thriving Dentist Show, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah explore why many dentists avoid hard or "crucial" conversations—and how that avoidance can quietly limit practice growth, leadership effectiveness, and personal fulfillment.

Listeners will gain practical insights into emotional intelligence, setting boundaries with patients and team members, and developing the communication skills necessary to help their practice—and themselves—reach their full potential.
