  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that's crucial for every dental practice—how to balance your schedule in a way that maintains consistent production, even when the economy isn't on your side. I’ll be talking about why it's so important to set both minimum and maximum production goals to keep things stable and avoid the rollercoaster of fluctuating income from month to month.

    I'll also share some of the challenges we face as dentists when the supply of our services starts to outpace demand. This is something I’ve experienced personally, and I’ll walk you through some strategies for managing practice expenses while keeping your goals in check. I’m not a fan of traditional goal-setting methods that give you just one target to aim for—so, in this episode, I’ll explain a more strategic approach that helps you grow your business while also leveling up your skills.

  • In this episode, I share the importance of guiding patients toward case acceptance before overwhelming them with treatment details. Often, young doctors and new associates make the mistake of diving into the who, what, why, and how of treatment before patients have even agreed to move forward, which can feel more like sales than patient care. We need to know the value of presenting clear options first and waiting for the patient to commit before offering detailed explanations. By shifting this approach, dentists can build stronger patient relationships and improve treatment acceptance rates.

  • In this episode, I talk about the saying "the devil is in the details" and how focusing too much on small details can slow us down. I share stories from my own practice, where trying to get every detail perfect caused more problems than it solved. Instead, I suggest a simpler approach that focuses on what really matters, helping us work more efficiently and grow our practices. I believe in making things easier, trusting our team, and keeping the big picture in mind so we can keep improving and moving forward.

  • In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and I talked about my story of becoming a key figure in dental education through my podcast. I discuss the importance of understanding patient perspectives and making informed treatment presentations. Emphasizing the need for dentists to avoid projecting their value systems onto patients and to respect individual financial situations. This approach not only fosters trust but also helps in presenting comprehensive dentistry without pressuring for high case acceptance rates.

  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I, Dr. Sully Sullivan, continue my conversation with Brett from Digital Doc, diving into patient communication, case acceptance, and the importance of understanding patients' perspectives in our dental practices. We discuss the necessity of acknowledging sales in dentistry and improving our sales skills while maintaining professional ethics. We challenge the misconception of striving for 100% case acceptance, advocating for the presentation of comprehensive treatment plans to enhance patient care. This episode highlights the significance of proper diagnostics, effective verbal skills, and the role of team dynamics in presenting treatment plans. We also stress the importance of letting patients make informed decisions based on risks, benefits, and alternatives.

  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, Dr. Sully Sullivan discusses a pressing issue in dentistry: dentists often abdicate rather than delegate responsibilities, leading to inefficient practices. Joined by Brett Wilson from Digital Doc, they explore how leveraging digital technology and improving patient communication can enhance case acceptance and allow dentists to focus on more profitable, fulfilling procedures. They emphasize the importance of photography, financial options, and strategic communication to avoid the "crown of the year club" and instead offer comprehensive care.

  • In this episode of The Millennial Dentist podcast, Dr. Sully Sullivan talks about how making changes in your dental practice can lead to better success. He explains that if you want your practice to run differently and achieve better outcomes, you need to change how you do things. This includes offering comprehensive patient financing, using better diagnostic tools, improving communication with patients, and adjusting your scheduling. By doing so, you can move from simple, insurance-based dentistry to more complex and profitable procedures. Dr. Sullivan also shares insights from the 3D Treatment Planning course and introduces the new 3D Dentists app, which provides helpful resources and courses

  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I shared how people are willing to pay extra to receive outputs faster, and how we could optimize this for our business. It's incredible to consider that we could increase our earnings by offering faster services compared to their current status. A line from Jeff Bezos changed my mindset: "Americans will always want their product faster, and they will always want it cheap."

    That’s when I started implementing it to my business, how could I offer the same process to the patients. Earn more learning the value of time and how it can sometimes be more important than money. By offering faster options and asking simple questions, we can make dental visits better for everyone.

  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentists Podcast, Tbone and I discussed the reasons why we lose our patients to other dentists. This is not a new phenomenon in dentistry; our patients either choose to replace us or new patients come in from other practices. This topic is painful, especially when a long-time patient decides to switch to another practice. Multiple skill-related issues contribute to this problem. We firmly believe that communication is the key to success. Through effective communication, we can address any anxieties patients may have regarding dental treatment.

    Who is Dr. Sully Sullivan?

    Dr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months.

    As a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level.

  • In this trio episode of the Millennial Dentists Podcast, Eric, Tarun, and I talk about how you could effectively grow your dental practice if you feel it slowing down.

There are ways to improve your growth small steps at a time. Multiple strategies like: Marketing, Referrals, Social Media, and Google reviews were mentioned in this episode. These steps are essential for resurfacing your practice and increasing revenue.

  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I talk about the mindset we must have when we are onboarding a new dental associate. We are experiencing a change with our new associate, and this episode is to share the mentality and team culture we have to make this transition successful. In creating an environment, it is important to create a positive space where it is okay to fail. When it is our first time, we tend to be scared to do such procedures because what if we break the equipment? But having a team and a leader dentist who is willing to mentor you throughout will help you reach success.

  • In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I share the capability of priority scheduling. Learning a high-paying procedure to include in your practice takes time and a huge amount of effort. The last thing you want to happen is for this procedure to fail just because of poor planning. Know the power of scheduling in this episode and how you can utilize time to fit walk-in patients into your daily blocks. Additional topics in this episode include the optimization of weekly goals rather than daily goals.
