Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The New Rules of Dental Growth: Why Patient Experience Beat Marketing with Dr. Addison Killeen
Q: Tell our audience who you are and how you got involved in running a practice.
Addison discussed his early attempts at running multiple practices, his shift to coaching and joining forces with Dr. Mark Costes, and eventually building the Dental Success Network and BoomCloud, all driven by learning what not to do and how to scale responsibly.
The Hidden Crisis in Dentistry: Why Great Associates Leave and How Smart Practices Win with Dr. Eric Roman
Q: What are Eric Roman's greatest leverage points for turning around an associate-heavy practice?
Focus on increasing case acceptance through behavior and a streamlined patient experience, build strong clinical leadership and onboarding systems, and utilize membership models to reduce dependence on PPOs. Also, address mindsets and leadership to keep associates from leaving.
The Right Way to Go Out of Network
Q: What mindset should a dental practice adopt when considering going out of network?
Dr. Nocchi emphasizes ensuring the practice meets a high standard of care first, then building predictable, recurring revenue through membership or fee-for-service structures to reduce financial risk and patient churn. He advises doing a thorough internal audit (e.g., hygiene reviews) and preparing clear communications with patients.
Navigating the Human Side of Business Leadership
Q: What typically works for practices in navigating these challenges?
Being intentional—creating time, space, and clear roles to align staff, priorities, and goals, and then breaking down goals into tangible, trackable actions.
Navigating the Human Side of Business Leadership
Q: Now that you know the goal for this month or quarter, what's your daily action plan to try and achieve that?
The approach is to reverse engineer the goal by identifying the specific daily actions and the responsible staff, ensuring each action directly supports the objective and is measurable.
