In this episode of the Launch Digital Dentistry Podcast, I chatted with Dr. Tarun Agarwal who reflects on the dramatic shift from traditional dental practices to the integration of cutting-edge technologies like AI-driven press technology. They discuss the critical role of technology in enhancing accessibility and efficiency in dental care, the importance of adapting to new tools and overcoming the challenges of information overload.Dr. Tarun Agarwal, also known as 'T-Bone', is a thought leader and innovator in dental education. As the founder and CEO of Raleigh Dental Arts and 3D Dentists, Dr. Agarwal has trained over 10,000 dentists on managing and thriving in a busy dental practice environment. His extensive experience and commitment to education have made him a pivotal figure in transforming dental practices through technology and continuous learning.What we talked about:[00:00] Intro[01:54] Insights and Inaction in Dentistry[04:18] Affordable Innovations Making Dentistry Accessible[06:39] From 2D Imaging to AI-Driven Tech[08:45] Input, Throughput, Output Explained[12:33] Tech Trivia and Trends[15:01] The Generational Tech DivideConnect with Dr. Tarun Agarwal here:https://www.3d-dentists.com/https://www.instagram.com/tbonespeaks/https://3d-dentists.com/podcast/Connect with Dr. Shea Tolbert here:https://www.fdhonline.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/shea-tolbert-dmd-fagd-23584a28/https://www.instagram.com/launchdigitaldentistry/https://www.instagram.com/shea.tolbert/
We need to be effective first, and then efficient second.In this solo episode, I discuss how we can be effective in our practice. We often set our goals to achieve a certain amount or perform specific procedures. But how can we reach these goals quickly and yield better results? In dental practice, effectiveness and efficiency are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct differences. In reality, we can strive for efficiency as much as we want, but we will eventually reach a limit. On the other hand, being effective means maximizing what we have at our disposal for the greater good.@02:01What is Efficiency@04:11 Maximum Point@06:01 What is Effectiveness@09:46 Effectiveness over Efficiency@11:31 Three Concept of Effectiveness
It's time to reset your long-time patients. In this episode, Meredith and I discuss the use of code D0150, which is typically applied to new patients but can also benefit those who have been with the practice for an extended period. Updating records comes at a cost of $20 per patient, and conducting this every 3-5 years can significantly boost earnings. Moreover, it offers patients the opportunity to review their progress and identify changes over time. Implementing this strategy may pose challenges, but it ultimately simplifies the role of the treatment coordinator. Building trust over years of patient interaction enables practitioners to confidently recommend necessary treatments, underscoring the importance of trust and positive experiences in dental practice.@01:05 CDT Code - D0150 @05:48 What is included in the exam@08:56 Admin Reset@11:23 Hurdles and Walkthrough @20:03 Outcome of Trust
Believe in the power of the front office.In this episode, Meredith and I talk about the struggles of the dental front office and how to relieve that pressure. Recognizing their potential can help them be productive and provide the best in their work. Empower and know their position and how they help present the best case to the patients for them to say yes. Having a salesperson helps the practice smoothly sign in patients from the front office to the transaction and to the procedures. Integrity in your practice will help you achieve success. We at 3D Dentist believe in the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We want the best for our patients!@01:00 Front Office@04:27 Problems in the Front Office@08:55 Power of Confidence@14:32 Process in the Front Office@20:37 Insurance

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” as the saying goes. It means working and only working will eventually burn you out and make you have a profound dislike for the profession you chose. This is why retreats were made—these events are a fantastic opportunity to get a well-deserved break from being a high-performing dentist and a means to learn something new and improve our professional relationships. What should you discuss during retreats? How soon should you plan for them? Today, I share the importance of having team retreats and how they can be a means for your practice to improve both financially and culturally. I describe why I always plan for annual retreats and why we never used to have retreats in my practice. I explain topics you can highlight during a retreat, especially when hitting your financial goals. I also discuss what's in store for you on our 3D Bootcamp this coming January."Nothing makes you get along better than living with people for a couple of days."- Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:Why I always plan annual retreatsWhy the retreat wasn't always a retreat and what it was like beforeFocusing on critical thinking during retreatsReverse engineering to get the financial numbers you wantThe procedures I provide in my practice and my commitment to hybridsOur tooth replacement therapy and making sure the patient commits to itWhat you can expect from our 3D Bootcamp next yearOur Favorite Quotes:"Of all the programs we do, the 3D Bootcamp will help drastically change the way you practice dentistry." - Tarun Agarwal"If you haven't been averaging one a month right now, it's going to be difficult to suddenly start doing one and a half or two each month." - Tarun Agarwal"Critical thinking is important for team members, especially when you're moving to a role where you want team members to be like owners." -Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week's episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

Today we welcome Dr. Erin Elliott for her second appearance here on the pod and her colleague Dr. Tarun Agarwal! Dr. Erin Elliott grew up South of Boise (i.e. Southern California) but went away to a small NAIA school in Western New York in 1995 where she played collegiate soccer and graduated summa cum laude from Houghton College. After graduating Creighton Dental School in 2003, she settled in North Idaho to begin her general dentistry career at Post Falls Family Dental. She has a special interest in DentalSleep Medicine. She has lectured extensively on this topic and loves to spread the message that sleep apnea, snoring and insomnia can be screened for in your dental office AND can be treated. She is an active member of her local American Dental Association, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and is the past president and a diplomate of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy. Dr. Tarun Agarwal, DDS is considered one of the top dentists in the country. He is a recognized speaker, author, and dental leader. He has been featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, and News 14 Carolina. Dr. Agarwal has been awarded '40 under 40' Business Leaders by the Triangle Business Journal. He is regularly invited to teach other dentists around the world and recently built a training center within the practice dedicated to sharing his expertise. Most importantly he is a loving husband and dedicated father of three wonderful children. His biggest accolade was being voted 'Best Dad in the World' by 2 of his 3 kids. Today's episode is generously sponsored by our peeps at Phillips and their new Zoom delivered whitening kit! The demand for teeth whitening went down during the pandemic but with the world transitioning back into real life with parties and get-togethers for the upcoming holiday season, Irene has had an influx of patients at her practice asking for teeth whitening services. Finding that her inventory was low, she turned to the folks at Phillips and their Zoom delivered whitening service. All you need is to take a digital scan or impression and send it to the proprietary lab with a prescription like you would fill out for a mouth/sports guard or night guard. Phillips Zoom will then ship the whitening kit directly to your patient. Irene then created an instructional video that she could email to patients on how to use the product! Not only does this save the patient time, but it also saves the practice time and resources by not having to have the patient return to the office for the whitening treatment! It also gets the patient onboard and makes them a part of their own treatment plan. See the link below for more information on Phillips Zoom Delivered! https://www.philips.ca/c-e/pe/teeth-whitening/philips-zoom-delivered.html ------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Elliott and Dr. Agarwal share with Irene and Katrina how they met 5 years ago following a guest appearance Dr. Elliott made on another podcast that led to a small orthodontic scandal and how they have been working together ever since! They discuss the biggest challenge holding dentists back in their practice with sleep as well as how modern hygienists can bridge the gap between a patient's expectations of what a basic teeth cleaning appointment is and how to encourage them to take their treatment into their own hands. Dr. Agarwal goes on to talk about why he has implemented digital impressions in his practice, the exciting outcomes of this implementation, how many scanners he currently has in his practice, as well as the culture of his practice and how important it is to him to invest in his staff and make sure they are fully participating in the culture that he has built. They both share how they approach conversations around orthodontics with patients, and Dr. Elliott explains what Vivos is and how she feels about it. Lastly, they provide insight on the importance of the relationship between the dentist and the hygienist and tips on how a hygienist can get their dentist onboard with wok they are interested in infusing into their practice.

Sagar earned his DDS from NYU College of Dentistry.In this episode, Sagar shares how his life changed after being diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic. He describes the emotional and mental toll the disease took on his career and his perspective on life.

I have gotten so many requests to have some episodes be about practice management and how to have a thriving dental practice, whether you're a practice owner or associate. Dentists deserve to be compensated for their hard work. We do have a service based-profession, but we work very hard. We've spent so many years of our lives being disciplined to keep learning when perhaps others have been able to play. So, my guest this week came to me highly recommended by the creator of the keep cerecing facebook group, Dr. Dhaval Patel. My guest is Dr. Tarun Agarwal. He's been featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX. He is regularly invited to teach other dentists around the world and recently built a training center which is dedicated to sharing his expertise. And today, he's going to give us a lot of wisdom on how to be a financially successful dentist. Whether you're an associate or practice owner, you'll learn some relevant pearls about how to have a financially successful dental practice.

Regardless of the number of tools or procedures you add to your practice, the principles of dentistry don't change. Whether it's done by hand or with a robot arm, the job will always revolve around a person's mouth. What does change is the information we align our brand of dentistry with—being rigid in this industry will not make for a successful practice. It's why we must pursue continuous education and attend masterminds. Not only do these keep us up to date on new knowledge, they offer us various opportunities to connect with other practitioners who could be future business partners.Today, I share why I started hosting continuous education events and seminars. I describe the many professional and social benefits of participating in any of our events. I explain why sedation is an overlooked service and why practices should start implementing it. I discuss debts and why I'm a strong advocate of not paying them right away. I also share the critical differences between block scheduling and priority scheduling and how you can start doing your own brand of dentistry."To succeed, we need to simplify dentistry."- Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:The brainchild behind the new 3D Dentist eventHow attending CEs inspired me to hold my own CE eventsHow I help our mentors establish strong relationships with each otherWhy sedation is an underrated and underutilized serviceThe benefits of not being super bright in dentistryWhy many business owners hesitate to add sedation in their practiceKnowing if you're ready to add a new tool in your officeMy thoughts on paying debt, including the best time to pay themThe best way to communicate what your practice offers without directly telling customersThe purpose of holding 3D Dentist eventsThe difference between block scheduling and priority schedulingBuilding your practice according to what you want dentistry to beOur Favorite Quotes:"Sedation is one of the most underutilized and undervalued services we can add to our practices." - Tarun Agarwal"As I've gotten deeper into CE, I've always wanted to have meaningful and engaging CE events." - Tarun Agarwal"We all diagnose better and close better when we're not running around and we're not rushed." - Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week's episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

Caroline Tuttle is the owner of Tuttle Dental Care, a family practice in West Windsor, New Jersey. The services they offer include veneers, bridges, fillings, dentures, implants, Invisalign, hygiene, and crowns. Caroline didn't always share her father's passion for dentistry, preferring at first to earn a degree in psychology and a minor in economics in 2008. The passion took root regardless, and she enrolled in Rutgers School of Dental Medicine in 2012, graduating five years later. She recently took over ownership of the family practice and expanded their services to include the latest tools and dental technology.Caroline joins us today to discuss what it was like taking over a family practice. She shares the experience of working with her father and the wisdom she gained. She describes how continuing education became a factor in their practice's expansion and the tools she has since bought. She explains what she learned from our mastermind and some key takeaways regarding delegation and block scheduling. Caroline also shares her social media marketing style."You can't just go to CE and never do anything with it. You have to go to CE and implement it." - Caroline TuttleThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:Caroline's life and professional experienceWhat Caroline's father's practice was like when she took overThe last five years running a dental practiceHow Caroline unlocked the potential of her father's practiceThe positive and negative aspects of taking over a family practiceContinuing education and how it was a factor in improving the businessWhy Caroline went to the mastermind event and what her critical takeaways wereBlock scheduling and what Tuttle Dental Care's current business schedule is likeCaroline's thoughts on delegation and replacing herselfThe challenges Caroline faced before, during, and after Covid-19The best way to develop a practice's cultureSlowing down to be more productiveHow an associate can improve the way you run your practiceHow Caroline does her practice's social media marketingCaroline's advice to those who want to do more of the dentistry they preferOur Favorite Quotes:"Investing in CE has continually been the biggest thing for me because I end up making more money after every course." - Caroline Tuttle"Replacing yourself is not about making less, but about creating flexibility to focus on what's important to you." - Tarun Agarwal"Culture is knowing your people.

I started my dental practice in 2001 and have made many mistakes along the way, but I've also learned from every one of them. One of the most critical lessons managing a business has taught me is the importance of maintaining practice culture. You can hire the most decorated team members, but at the end of the day, there is always a chance that drama can happen. You certainly don't want drama while you're trying to run a practice in the middle of a pandemic, but is there a way to prevent that?Today, I describe my journey into dentistry starting from the day I graduated. I discuss why dentistry doesn't require as much scaling as other businesses to improve profits. I share the struggles we encountered the year before, how we're getting back on track, and the services and team changes we made. I explain why you should not have the same team forever, the benefits of reshuffling team members, and maintaining practice culture. I also share why priorities scheduling is better than block scheduling."The best way to maintain culture is to have sit-downs with your team members." - Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:My career journey after graduation and starting my practice in 2001What separates dentistry from other industriesWhat my practice was like when we started, what it is today, and our hiring plans in the futureThe challenges we faced last year and how we adaptedWhy team members should be changing a practiceThe services we've added and the services we're planning to reduce over timeThe best way to get companies to make the necessary changes My thoughts on the ideal number of personnel in a practicePractice culture and how to avoid office chaosThe four things I've always focused throughout my careerWhy priorities scheduling is a step above block schedulingOur Favorite Quotes:"We're far from perfect, but we're less worse than most." - Tarun Agarwal"You got to learn priorities scheduling" - Tarun Agarwal"My belief is that you should not have the same team forever." - Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week's episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

Sleep apnea is commonly discussed in dentistry. I remember visiting dentistry forums in the 2000s—way before social media was even a term—and reading success stories of other dentists with dental sleep. I added sleep in our practice, but to say we had an adequate run would be an overstatement. My team had to abandon it in 2010 because the business model we had wasn't the right fit at the time. It wasn't until I listened to a podcast five years later when I decided to get dental sleep back in my practice. We had professionals teach us the ropes, and the rest is history.Today, I share the story of how I came to include sleep in my practice and why it wasn't a good fit right away. I recount when I removed dental sleep from my practice, when I decided to get it back, and what went right the second time. I explain what the 4-step workflow is and how we developed it. I discuss my thoughts on referrals, medical insurance, and digital impressions. I also share what I want my practice to become in the near future."The four steps are awareness, diagnoses, financial, then treatment." - Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:When I started doing sleep apneaThe struggles I encountered when I first started with sleep apneaWhat made me decide to get back into sleep apneaHow we developed our 4-step workflowMy thoughts on referrals when it comes to sleep apneaWhy you should outsource medical insurance My advice to practices that can't find a sleep championWhy Liz is my practice's sleep championThe importance of digital impressions and the required toolsWhy I only use devices made digitally and what my favorite devices areWhat I envision for the future of my sleep departmentOur Favorite Quotes:"Awareness falls a lot on the hygenist." - Tarun Agarwal"Nobody wants to be the person always doing something somebody else hates." - Tarun Agarwal"I firmly believe in a digital device perspective.

Dr. Jeffrey Scammahorn is the owner of Westmoore Dental Studio, a dental practice located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They offer services related to implants and bridges, sleep apnea, preventative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative dentistry. He started Westmoore Dental Studio in September of 2019 only to encounter the many challenges wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic barely six months later. Despite the struggles, Jeffrey found ways to adapt and improve his techniques in both services and leadership practices. Joining our mastermind helped him in these endeavors. Today, Jeffrey joins us to describe his experience during our mastermind event: his takeaways, the people he met, and the relationships he formed with other dental professionals. He shares how the pandemic affected his newly bought practice and the lessons he learned from the experience. He explains how the mastermind event changed the way he ran his practice, especially when hiring team members. He discusses how implants and sedation allowed his business to grow while also letting him take time off. Jeffrey also shares the benefits of joining a mastermind event."I get to do a lot more of what I like to do now, rather than a lot of fillings." - Jeff ScammahornThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:Who Jeff is, where he graduated, and how long he's been practicing dentistryHow the pandemic affected his practiceJeff's advice to anyone planning to buy a practiceWhy Jeff was inclined to join the mastermindThe new leadership techniques Jeff applied in his practiceThe overlooked area of practice managementWhat happens when you don't fix your scheduleHow long it takes to see the results of priority schedulingWhat implants mean to Jeff and why he added them to his practiceWhy the fundamental concepts of the mastermind are importantHow sedation improved Jeff's practice and patient experienceHow to make implants important to your teamThe networking benefits of joining a mastermindOur Favorite Quotes:"It's been super neat to see patients transition from anxious to not anxious." - Jeff Scammahorn"Big case dentistry isn't always fancy dentistry." - Tarun Agarwal"Anything good takes work and takes getting uncomfortable." - Tarun AgarwalConnect with Jeff Scammahorn:Westmoore Dental StudioEmail: jeff.scammahorn@gmail.comSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week's episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

My first few years as a dentist didn't involve dental implants, and most of it was due to my lack of surgical confidence. It wasn't like I needed to include dental implants in my practice - business was booming without it. Then, the Crash of 2008 happened, and it opened my eyes to the importance of offering a variety of services that cater to a broader market. One of these is dental implants, a procedure that, to this day, not many dentists provide. I invested in learning the basics and advanced implant procedures, allowing my practice to grow exponentially. It was one of the best decisions I have made in my career.Today, I share the economics of including implants in your practice, how many you can typically do in a year, and the potential earnings you're missing out on by not offering it. I discuss why there's never a ‘perfect time' to start offering dental implants. I describe my first implant experience and my takeaways from that day. I explain the different side effects of having implants in your practice and what you can expect from our program and course offerings. I also share how technology has made doing implants easier, more profitable, and more efficient than other popular services."Implant dentistry should be done at the highest level; it should be done with the most predictability and the most scalability - and technology delivers that." - Tarun Agarwal This week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:The economics in getting started with implant dentistry and if they're worth itWhy there's never a great time to start implantsWhy I used to be a restorative-only dentist for the first few years of my careerWhen I began implant dentistry and why it was difficultWhy you can never know too much about implant dentistryThe first implant I had and the number of PAs it tookThe possible side effects of implant dentistry in your practiceHow implant dentistry taught me to slow down so I can speed upWhy our implant dentistry program is not for everyoneThe road I don't recommend taking to implant dentistryWhy you should have a CBCT in your officeThe ancillary tools you should have for implantsThe number of implants the average successful dentist will do in a yearWhat it takes to plan, place, and restore a dental implantWhat dentists can expect from our retreat and dental programsOur Favorite Quotes:"Getting started is the most important thing." - Tarun Agarwal"I looked at implants as I was going to have a staged approach that I could build upon." - Tarun Agarwal"The beauty of implant dentistry is - the learning will ever stop with implant dentistry." - Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week's episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

This week I come to you alone with a personal message about "Getting in the Game" vs "staying in the game".To often we get consumed and focused with getting in the game. Over time this allows our practice to get out of control and no longer look like what we dreamed. This week I shared with you how I (and you too) am turning my focus to what it takes to stay in the game of dentistry.
There’s always a first time for everything, and it’s no different when it comes to dentistry. It’s not even about how long you’ve been running a practice. Some cases just don’t come to us, but dentists should actively seek out doing any treatment for the first time. More than just getting the experience, the people you meet and work with, the mindset you must possess, and the processes you will learn can be life-changing from both a business and personal perspective. Today, I share the story of my first hybrid patient and why I decided to take the case. I discuss the steps involved when it comes to hybrids, my experience working with a dental surgeon, and what I learned from them. I explain what type of hybrid cases you should have in your practice and how you can provide the most seamless customer experience. I describe your front-office team's role and why I believe they are the bottleneck of our practice. I discuss how a medical representative can help prepare your team for new procedures and services. I also share advice for those who want to be in the dental industry and what I wish I knew when I was getting started."I encourage every surgically-oriented dentist to get into doing hybrids yourself. It's life-changing work." - Tarun AgarwalThis week on T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast:My first hybrid patient and what pushed me to do it.How my surgeon helped me get to a higher level of dentistry.Working with my surgeon and how we helped each other's businesses.How working with a surgeon can be a dentist's safety net.Understanding which hybrid cases dentists should handle.The different surgeons we work with at 3D Dentists.How you can offer a frictionless experience for the patient. Why it's critical to train each of your team members step-by-step.The value of a medical rep in the context of team training.Why the number one technology for your business is the camera.My one piece of advice for those who want to get into dentistry.Our Favorite Quotes:"I, for sure, wouldn't be where I'm at today if I have not partnered with the right-minded surgeon to help me get to these levels." - Tarun Agarwal"The surgery is the daunting part. A hybrid is a big surgery."- Tarun AgarwalSubscribe, Connect & Share Your Favorite EpisodesThanks for tuning into this week’s episode of T-Bone Speaks Dentistry.

We always enjoy having T-Bone on the show and this episode was no exception. We discuss his recent upgrade to CEREC Primescan and whether it is worth it if you are an existing CEREC user or just getting into the CEREC world. Also, we discuss the alternatives to CEREC and the pros and cons of those other systems. When we heard him say that he also bought an ITero specifically for Invisalign, we had to ask more about that and he makes the case for increasing case acceptance using that technology. Lots of questions are answered and a few new ones are raised in this episode! WHO ARE THE DENTAL GUYS? The Dental Guys podcast is the brainchild project of Wes and Jon. Years ago Wes and Jon met at a continuing education event and immediately started a passionate on-going conversation about dentistry.

One of our favorite people Dr. Tarun Agarwal is herewith me today to talk about the Millennial Mastermind event we will be hosting together in January. Dr. Agarwal is known as T-Bone and the host of the T-Bone Speaks podcast. He also the founder of Raleigh Dental Arts. He is excited about sharing his experience and mistakes with younger dentists to help them move forward faster. He has been a mentor of mine and had a huge impact on my life and practice. Having accountability and access to a group of like minded individuals makes progressing so much faster and easier. There will be weekends, monthly coaching calls, individual sessions, and the ability to have office meetings and watch clinical dentistry. All aspects of dentistry will be covered from clinical, business, and mindset including short-term, medium-term, and long-term thinking. You can find our Dr. Tarun Agarwal here: T-Bone Speaks Podcast T-Bone Speaks Facebook @Tbonespeaks on Twitter Tarun Agarwal on Instagram drA@Raleighdentalarts.com Raleigh Dental Arts Show Notes: [01:40] Dr. Agarwal feels that a millennial mastermind will allow him to make the most impact while also having a positive impact on himself. [01:56] He wants to disrupt and help people figure out how to get on the right track. [02:48] Dr. Agarwal has had a ton of success and a millennial mastermind and giving back is really his sweet spot. [03:22] Dr. Agarwal is only 42 years old. He has been in the business for almost 20 years. [03:53] He started a practice from scratch and had to deal with insurance issues. [04:29] Great things happen when you put together a small group of motivated individuals who want to achieve great things for themselves and others. [04:48] Dr. Agarwal calls himself experienced not an expert. He pivoted from a fee-for-service practice to an insurance based practice to focusing on cosmetics and adding services. [05:36] The mastermind is about helping people and assisting young dentists to getting where they want to be faster. [06:05] The first two years of your practice are the most important of your profession. [06:35] This is great for other people who want to be part of a group and associated with those who are trying to push the envelope. [07:00] Dr. Agarwal feels that people spend too much time consuming information and not enough time doing and practicing. [07:52] Another important thing is to actually define what you want and what your values are, so you know that the things you are trying are in alignment with what you want. [08:20] Short-term thinking is about survival. Medium-term thinking is about creating the procedures and practices that you actually want to do. Long-term thinking is about generating personal balance. [09:50] They'll also cover clinical aspects in the mastermind group. Dr. Agarwal wants people to gain from his experience and mistakes. His wife will also talk about the mental attitude. [11:34] There will be weekends, monthly coaching calls, individual sessions, and the ability to have office meetings and watch clinical dentistry. [12:16] Accountability is a huge part of the mastermind. [13:53] Dr. Agarwal has been a great mentor for Sully. [14:59] If you want to participate get in touch with Dr. Agarwal or Sully. [15:43] The first weekend is in January. [16:02] Dr. Agarwal promises that it will be worth it, or he will personally write you a check. As always thanks so much for listening!

Dr. Paul and Dr. Tarun Agarwal discuss how to effectively present implant treatment to your patients. Tarun describes in detail how he does it at his practice in Raleigh.
This episode is totally different from the usual episodes we have. And frankly, I think its pure gold! A month or two ago I had an opportunity to be a part of a mastermind weekend with a lot of talented individuals currently in dentistry and names you are going to be hearing more of in the future. We talked about multiple practice ownership, bringing specialists in, the importance of setting goals, but most importantly how to accomplish your goals, and the importance of being around like-minded people. It's a late night round table with Dr. Tarun Agarwal, Dr. Meena Barsoum, Dr. John Pasicznyck, Dr. Erin Elliott, Hootan Shahidi, and myself. It sheds light onto how going to continuing education has allowed me to meet so many great people and how some of them have become such mentors to me. Its late night conversations like this that don't happen with virtual continuing education. I am lucky because not only have I learned stuff to help m practice, but I also have new friends in the industry. I think it's an episode you can take a lot away from. I hope you enjoy! -Sully
Special thanks to Matt Winstead the Vice President of Oral Arts Dental Lab out of Huntsville, AL for driving up to Nashville to do a podcast about working with the lab. It was also great because we happen to get a surprise guest from Tbone himself who also happened to be in town. Peyman and Oral Arts have had a great working relationship and all three of us agree that there is more to working with your lab then just sending them a script! When was the last time you visited your lab? When was the last time you called them to discuss a case? As a new dentist the lab can be a great asset for not only making you a better dentist, but also making your life easier! In this episode we discuss all this stuff as well as the future of dentistry in regards to using dental labs. We want to take a moment to thank everyone for listening! Please spread the word and remember to work smarter….not harder!
Tarun Agarwal tells it like it is and that is why he belongs on our show. This episode will challenge many of the things you take for granted about your dental practice and it will force you to think differently about what is possible.
