About 80% of dentists are undervaluing what their practice is worth! A shocking number, don't you think?
The fact is, several dentists wait until they slow down to sell without realizing that their practice value is highest when they’re at their peak.
To share everything you need to know to get the most bang out of your buck when selling is this episode’s guest, Michelle Hedgecock.
Michelle is a clinical researcher and a former dental surgeon, and owned two thriving practices in Austin, Texas. After having to sell at 42, she realized how ill-prepared doctors are when it comes to selling and determining the fair market value of their business.
This experience ultimately drove her to become a business development associate with Connect The Dents, where she performs practice valuations and guides doctors in determining the best options and timings for selling their business.
How practice valuations can help you plan for the future, tips on increasing the fair market value of your practice, what EBITDA is, and when doctors should consider selling for max profit are some main themes of this conversation.
Michelle and I also touch on the different types of buyers, including individual doctors, DSO's, and DPO’s, and what types of practices are ideal for each.
Tune in to learn more about how Michelle and the unique valuation process and matching program at Connect The Dents can save you 6-10% in selling costs.

Are you creating quality video content for your practice? Chances are, you’re not doing it enough!
Short-form video content has been on the rise for quite a few years now. So, now, more than ever, dental practices have to lean into this tool to boost patient engagement and compliance.
But how do you create content that goes beyond just basic information?
Today's guest is here to share all about it.
Janelle Baum is a cutting-edge orthodontic influencer that's using the power of social media and video content to transform dental practices — and businesses in general, too.
With over seven years of experience as an orthodontic treatment coordinator and a background in theater and improv, Janelle delivers a one-of-a-kind approach to patient interactions. It starts by using short, engaging videos to inform and entertain patients at different stages of their journey, boosting case acceptance, helping them know what to expect before an appointment, and everything they need to follow during their treatment.
This episode is packed with insights, such as how medical professionals can humanize themselves through short-form videos and how to make patients feel more at ease with procedures.
Janelle also advocates for actively involving patients in social media content creation, which not only boosts the practice's visibility and improves patient compliance, but also creates a vibrant office culture that spreads through word of mouth. Plus, she shares how practices can leverage feedback systems like Avius tablets to gain honest reviews directly from children.
If you're looking to stand out with video content, this is the episode to listen to. Tune in!

Here’s a shocking fact: on average, most dental offices miss at least 30% of their incoming calls.
Just imagine all the potential revenue slipping through the cracks just because your staff is too busy to address those calls.
Today, I’m bringing you a solution to this!
In this episode, I sit down with Breanna McMillen, head of sales at Peerlogic, to find out how conversational AI can improve patient calls and transform dental practice revenue.
Breanna's 20-year journey in dentistry, from hygiene assistant to overseeing multi-location operations and later becoming a dental-specific myofunctional therapist before transitioning to the tech and sales leadership side of dentistry, make her a guest with a remarkable breadth of knowledge.
We go deep into how Peerlogic's conversational AI can streamline front office tasks and take call monitoring to the next level, securing fewer missed opportunities and more revenue generation. The technology listens to calls, identifies missed opportunities, and helps staff follow up efficiently, making it a revolutionary tool for front office operations for nearly every type of dental practice.
Breanna also shares the broader implications of AI in dentistry, addressing common misconceptions and sharing the exciting future developments in responsive AI that will further enhance patient engagement.
