In this episode, Gary and Naren talk about how to take control of your practice's money with something called revenue cycle management. They explain simple ways to get paid on time, avoid billing surprises, and keep patients happy. Plus, Dr. Andrew Adly shares a smart tip to save a crown when the buildup breaks. If you want less stress and more profit, this episode is for you!

Anxiety, uncertainty, and small frictions in the waiting room can quietly drain trust before a patient ever reaches the chair. We walk through three simple, high‑leverage touch points that transform those first minutes into a calm, intentional start: orienting new patients to amenities and next steps, acknowledging delays with a clear time estimate, and setting expectations for early arrivals so the experience feels fair. These moves are easy to teach, quick to execute, and proven to raise referrals, boost case acceptance, and earn better reviews.Throughout, we connect these micro‑moments to macro outcomes: stronger trust, smoother visits, and higher acceptance of treatment recommendations. You'll leave with a mini playbook you can implement today—roles, timing triggers, and language that fits a modern, patient‑centered dental practice.

In this episode, Dr. Geeta Harb (@therealOCdentist) shares her inspiring path from a remarkably young start in dentistry to building a practice rooted in integrity, artistry, and authentic patient care. Born to be a warrior, after 14 years growing up in war-torn Beirut, she moved to the U.S. where she graduated from university at the young age of 17 and went on to earn a doctorate. For the last 15 years, she has built a successful, multi-specialty dental practice focusing on cosmetic dentistry, changing lives one smile at a time. In 2024, U.S. News and World Report recognized her with the Patient Top Choice award; she also was named a Top 100 Doctor by LA Style magazine.

Send a textDr. Volker Menzel is a dentist with more than 30 years of clinical experience, with a professional focus on implantology and periodontology. His approach extends beyond conventional dentistry and is strongly shaped by his long-term personal experience with nutrition-based health optimization.Through 7 years on a ketogenic diet and 5 years on a carnivore diet, Dr. Menzel fundamentally improved his own health and reshaped his understanding of disease prevention and metabolic health. In his mid-forties, he faced several health challenges, including prediabetes, excess body weight, polyneuropathy, and retinal microvascular damage. Through these combined changes, he was able to normalize metabolic markers, achieve sustainable weight loss, and heal his neurological and vascular symptoms.Under the name The Carnivore Dentist, Dr. Menzel and his daughter work to educate and inform about the connection between nutrition, oral health, and overall well-being. Their aim is to empower individuals to better understand root causes of chronic conditions rather than focusing solely on symptom management.Find Dr. Menzel at-thecarnivoredentist.deIG- @thecarnivoredentistYT- @thecarnivoredentistFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

Jonathan Wong, the multifaceted "tattoo dentist", delves into his journey from being an entrepreneurial dentist to a lifestyle advocate who underscores discipline over motivation. Throughout the discussion, Jonathan offers insights into the significance of discipline, saying "It's the discipline that gets you to the gym...even when you don't want to." His story is woven with themes of resilience, self-reflection, and the importance of not just seeking success, but defining what success genuinely means. He shares his unique trajectory through the world of dentistry, fitness, and personal growth, and candidly reveals that his multicultural background fuels his resilient work ethic and desire to defy expectations. Highlighting his mentoring spirit, Jonathan stands as a testament to how commitment and self-belief can manifest into diverse avenues of success.Key Takeaways:Discipline Over Motivation: Jonathan Wong stresses the critical role of discipline in achieving goals, stating that it often surpasses motivation in importance.Lifestyle as a Marathon: Fitness and health are lifelong commitments, and Jonathan views them as ongoing journeys rather than short-term goals.Diverse Pathways to Success: Jonathan emphasizes that there's no single path to success; his own unique journey in dentistry and entrepreneurship demonstrates the variety in ways one can achieve their dreams.Visualizing Success: By visualizing multiple scenarios, Jonathan believes in mentally preparing for challenges, which helps in efficiently navigating life's uncertainties.Legacy and Mentoring: Jonathan aspires to inspire others not just through direct teaching but by living a life that leads by example, aligning with his father's educational ethos.Notable Quotes:"You could be the most motivated person to have no discipline. Right. And it won't happen.""I strive to be the best. But knowing there's no best endodontist means my motivation will never waver.""Don't be afraid to live outside the Matrix.""There's no one way to carve your own path. Just be the best at whatever you feel.""Money's just basically the freedom to do whatever you want. That's real success."Connect with Jonathan Wong:WebsiteInstagramConnect with Rudy Mawer:LinkedInInstagramFacebookTwitter

A locked garage behind a quiet holiday cottage. A car filling with exhaust. And two bodies posed to tell a simple story: a suicide pact between two “betrayed” spouses.On May 19, 1991, in Castlerock, Northern Ireland, Lesley Howell (31) and Trevor Buchanan (32) are found dead inside a vehicle with a hose running from the exhaust into the car—an apparent double suicide that the community quickly accepts. Lesley is a mother of four. Trevor is a police constable and father. Both are mourned as victims of heartbreak and scandal.But the truth is darker—and it doesn't surface for nearly two decades.Behind the public grief, investigators will later learn, a secret affair and a ruthless plan were allegedly shaping events from the shadows. Colin Howell, a respected dentist and lay preacher, and Hazel Buchanan (later Hazel Stewart) are accused of plotting to remove their spouses and stage the scene to look like a tragic decision. The story moves from a “straightforward” death scene to something far more chilling: sedation, exhaust fumes, meticulous staging, and a lie that holds until January 2009, when Colin Howell finally breaks and confesses—first to church elders, then to police.The confession reopens everything. Hazel is arrested. In court, the case becomes a battle over what was done, what was admitted, and whether Hazel's role was coerced or fully complicit. The old garage scene is re-examined with a new question: not why would they do this? but who benefits if everyone believes they did?Inside this episodeThe discovery in Castlerock and why police initially believed it was a double suicideThe secret relationship hiding in plain sight inside a tight religious communityThe alleged method: sedatives + exhaust fumes and the “suicide pact” stagingHow the case stayed buried—until a confession detonated it in 2009The interrogation dispute: coercion vs. participationThe courtroom reckoning and the verdict that finally rewrote the official storyThis is a true crime nightmare about image, faith, control, and deception—and how a staged scene can trap the truth for years. We're telling that story tonight.

Occlusion cases stall when dentists focus only on how the teeth fit, instead of why the bite doesn't fit in the first place. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Jim McKee to explain the #1 thing dentists get wrong about occlusion—and why it's not the teeth. You'll learn how to redefine occlusion beyond tooth contacts, how disc displacement changes the bite, why many “malocclusions” should be considered joint-driven until proven otherwise, and how better diagnosis can create a restorative diagnostic practice model that attracts the right patients. listen to Episode 1017 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysOcclusion must be defined as both how the teeth fit together and how the joints fit together, because joint position drives tooth position.Many cases that stall in treatment planning stall because the dentist doesn't know how to manage occlusion and TMD variables.Clicking and popping joints are most often ligament tears that create a disc displacement, not “stretching” that resolves on its own.Instead of asking how to remove a posterior interference, the better question is why the interference exists in the first place.Class II malocclusions are often related to joint conditions, and the disc-condyle relationship can explain why the mandible isn't forward enough.If you wait for TMJ pain to appear, you are often late, because many adult TMD presentations started during growth years.Diagnosis requires appropriate imaging, and evaluating only hard tissue can miss the disc-condyle interface that drives growth and occlusal change.Snippets:00:00 Podcast Welcome01:10 Meet Dr Jim McKee02:25 Young Dentist Challenges04:17 Why Occlusion Stalls Cases07:02 Redefining Occlusion08:26 Class Two Joint Clues11:34 Disc Displacement Basics13:25 Injury Causes Clicking14:47 Gasket Analogy Explained17:39 Posterior Interference Rethink21:00 Reading Patient Red Flags22:53 Growth Airway MRI Debate26:16 Supporting Orthodontists Better27:21 Malocclusion Is Joint Driven28:02 Prevalence And Planting Seeds30:29 Diagnostic Records Practice Model31:50 Fees And Low Stress Workflow33:15 Rethinking Orofacial Pain36:40 Bruxism And Sympathetic Drive38:50 Patients Are Not Crazy40:01 Imaging Before Appliances41:37 TMD As Practice Growth Engine43:19 Referrals And Study Clubs44:33 Chicago Study Club And Courses47:52 Wrap Up And ResourcesGuest Bio/Guest Resource:Dr. Jim McKee is a restorative dentist and educator focused on occlusion, TMD, and restorative diagnosis.

UK Dentists: Collect your verifiable CPD for this episode here >>> https://courses.dentistswhoinvest.com/smart-money-members-club———————————————————————The clock is ticking on Making Tax Digital, and we're cutting through the noise with a straight-talking guide tailored for UK dentists. If you earn self-employment income as an associate or rental income from buy‑to‑lets, this is the moment to get clear on thresholds, timelines, and the smartest way to stay compliant without drowning in admin.We unpack the real meaning of “relevant income” and why HMRC looks at gross receipts, not profits, when deciding who must file quarterly. You'll learn exactly who is in scope right now at £50,000, why PAYE and dividends don't count for MTD for income tax, and how planned drops to £30,000 and £20,000 will bring many more clinicians into the regime. We also cover the penalty system you need to avoid: an initial grace year for late submissions, points that stack to a £200 fine, and a 24‑month compliance runway to reset. Most crucially, we explain the three‑year lock-in once you're on the system and how that affects timing if you're considering incorporation.From there, we move to tools and tactics. Prefer minimal effort? Ask your accountant about bridging software so you can send simple spreadsheets or bank statements each quarter and let them handle the submission. Want more control and real-time insight? We compare software options like FreeAgent, Sage, Xero and QuickBooks, highlighting free tiers, bank feeds, common setup pitfalls, and how live data can help you steer clear of the 60 percent effective rate band with timely pension and expense planning. We set out the dates that matter: Q1 runs 6 April to 5 July, with the first update due 7 August, and why registering before 5 April buys breathing space and avoids easy points.We finish with a practical checklist you can act on today: register for MTD or ask your accountant to do it, choose between full bookkeeping or a bridging route, and schedule your July data handover so the first submission lands on time. It's a clear, calm path through a complex change, built for busy clinicians who value certainty and time.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

This week, Jun and Daniel catch up on a whirlwind of events, starting with a frightening story about a fire at Jun's parents' house in Daegu that led to an unexpected fridge-clearing catharsis. Daniel shares observations from his recent trips to a Korean dentist, as well as a recent conversation with his kindergarten that perfectly illustrates the indirectness of the Korean language discussed last week. The hosts also debate the cultural mechanics of eating rice: why do some Korean poke places not give out chopsticks by default, and what is the primary utensil used to eat rice in Korea?If you're interested in the recent online turf war between Korean netizens (“Knetz”) and Southeast Asian K-pop fans (“SEAblings”) over concert etiquette, why Korean national pride during the Winter Olympics seems to be waning, or why Bad Bunny's culturally charged Super Bowl Halftime show might have ruffled some feathers, this episode is for you. We also discuss Korea's first single malt whiskey (Ki One), debate whether vinyl records are genuinely making a comeback or just a leftover "mid-century modern" prop, and reflect on a touching listener email regarding racial blindness and microaggressions.As a reminder, we publish our episodes bi-weekly from Seoul, South Korea.

A growing number of dentists are reconsidering PPO participation as costs rise and reimbursement falls. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with dental consultant Deborah Engelhart Nash to unpack why a reported 29% of surveyed dental practices stopped taking insurance in 2025, what fears keep dentists stuck, and how to transition the right way. You'll learn how to evaluate your patient mix, identify low-hanging fruit plans to drop first, communicate changes without blaming insurance, and redesign systems so your team can focus on people work instead of paperwork—listen to Episode 1016 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysA survey of dental marketers' client data reported that 29% of participating practices stopped taking insurance in 2025.Leaving insurance rarely fails when doctors do due diligence on patient concentration, capacity, and fee schedules before making changes.Doctors should prioritize dropping low-reimbursement plans and plans with low patient volume instead of quitting all plans at once.If a practice is booked out for months with in-network patients while losing money on those visits, reducing PPO participation can open capacity for higher-fee care.Successful transitions require team alignment, consistent messaging, and avoiding language that blames insurers or frames the decision as “about the money.”Practices should reframe insurance as an employer-provided allowance that helps offset care rather than something that determines the standard of care.Outsourcing insurance and billing work can help teams focus on patients, keep up with code changes, and improve claim outcomes.Snippets:00:00 Intro02:20 The survey source and the 29% statistic from 2025.03:15 Why some in-network hygiene visits can lose money.05:20 The “40% cut” example to explain PPO economics to teams.06:25 Why dentists don't go back once they leave insurance.07:10 The Anchorage example: when a single employer dominates the patient base.08:10 If you're booked out for months, cutting low-fee volume can create room.09:15 How umbrella plans expanded participation without doctors realizing it.10:10 Start with low-hanging fruit plans and lowest reimbursement fee schedules.12:05 The reminder: about 50% of Americans don't have dental insurance.13:20 How many active patients a solo doctor with two hygienists actually needs.15:15 Why the patient conversation should focus on quality of care, not fees.17:05 What callers ask first—and how to answer the insurance question.18:05 Predicting the future: hybrid models based on practice profile.20:10 “Roleplay” reframed as upskilling the team.23:05 Outsourcing insurance to specialists so teams do people work.24:00 72 insurance code changes in 2025 and why that matters.25:15 The biggest fear: upsetting the team, not the patients.30:55 The transition checklist: due diligence, team prep, timelines, and letters.33:00 Where to find Deborah and request the insurance letter template.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesDebra Engelhardt-Nash has been in dentistry since 1985 as a consultant, trainer, author and speaker.

Are you struggling to get your resin work looking flawless? Wondering how to polish your composites so they shine like a pro? Curious about practical tips you can implement immediately to level up your smile makeovers? In this episode, Dr. Charles Brandon shares three game-changing secrets for mastering composite resin. From practical techniques you can apply right away to a conceptual tip that will completely transform the way you polish, Charles leaves no stone unturned. Get ready for an episode packed with actionable advice, insider knowledge, and inspiration from a dentist whose resin work is truly next-level. Whether you're refining your layering skills or aiming for that perfect finish, this episode is a must-listen. https://youtu.be/dBlN_rbHnTI Watch PDP259 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Level up your resin veneers with the Perio Bur (code and more info here)— a long diamond bur for the slow-speed 1:1 handpiece that gives unmatched control, crisp shaping, and beautiful texture. If you use only one bur for finishing composite, make it this one. Check out this  video of Perio bur in Action on a Real Resin Veneer Case → protrusive.co.uk/periobur Key Takeaways The significance of patient communication and understanding their needs is highlighted. Mistakes are seen as learning opportunities that contribute to growth in practice. The role of mentorship in navigating challenges in aesthetic dentistry is discussed. Aesthetic communication is crucial for patient satisfaction. Patients are visually aided, not verbally aided. Effective layering techniques can enhance composite work. Practice on typodont models to build skills. The polish is secondary to proper placement and finishing. Understanding composite materials is key to success. Start with two shades for layering to minimize complexity. Courses should cover the entire process, not just techniques. Self-teaching is a valuable way to improve skills. Investing in oneself is essential for growth in dentistry.

Your practice looks fine. That's what makes this dangerous. The heat in your practice did not spike. It crept up. In this episode, Dr. Dave names the condition draining clarity from high-performing dental practice owners and explains why this is not a time management problem but a leadership architecture problem. Your strategic edge is narrowing: a practicing dental owner makes hundreds of meaningful decisions a day across diagnosis, treatment planning, patient communication, and leadership. Strategic capacity narrows under that load. The cost of delay: the conversation you keep postponing. The standard you stopped enforcing. The move you meant to make last quarter. Delay compounds. How practices become replaceable: nothing collapses. You just stop separating. In a volatile market, that is all it takes. If you built something real and you are no longer pulling ahead, pay attention. ▶️ Listen now. Clarity is your competitive edge.
