    Dr. Tejas Patel: The High-Value Dentist

    Dr. Tejas Patel, DDS, breaks down how applying the 80/20 rule transformed the way he practices dentistry. Instead of filling his days with high-volume, high-stress procedures, he took a step back to analyze which treatments were actually driving the majority of his revenue— and realized cosmetic dentistry was the clear winner. Dr. Patel shares how restructuring his schedule around the procedures he enjoys most not only increased productivity and revenue, but also reduced burnout and stress. By seeing fewer patients and focusing on higher-value, high-impact work, he built a practice that’s more efficient, more profitable, and more sustainable. A candid conversation on working smarter, not harder— and designing a practice that truly works for you.

    Dr. Michael Martins: The Flying Dentist

    Dr. Michael Martins shares his journey from working in a Blatchford practice in Oregon to purchasing and transforming his own practice in North Carolina. Growing up in a dental family with both parents in dentistry, he learned the Blatchford philosophy working for Dr. Devin Bryce for seven years before moving across the country after Bryce's unexpected passing. Dr. Martins purchased a struggling PPO practice and completely rebranded it as AIR Dental Studio (Atmosphere Experience Redesigned), eliminating insurance contracts and implementing comprehensive systems over two years. His vision focuses on creating a first-class patient experience that's the opposite of typical medical visits, complete with balloon animals for kids, dad jokes, and even an AI receptionist for after-hours scheduling. Outside the practice, he's an avid pilot, wake surfer, and traveler who has taken his young family to seven countries, embodying the work-life balance that dentistry can provide.
