    Selling, Scaling, and Starting Over | Dr Jim Arnold, DDS

    In this episode of Teeth Matter, I sit down with Dr. Jim Arnold (@smilesbyarnold), a dentist who has navigated nearly every stage of the profession—from private practice to ownership, to selling, and eventually guiding DSO acquisitions.

How Dr. Arnold’s career began and what shaped his early years in dentistry The personal and financial factors behind selling a dental practice The emotional hurdles of stepping away from ownership The most common misconceptions dentists have about DSOs Key red flags to look for in acquisition deals Why he launched Luxury Dental Retreats and the gap it fills in the dental world How luxury retreats provide a transformative environment for dentists Who benefits most from attending and why environment is everything If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible beyond the operatory—or you’re looking for clarity in your next big career move—this conversation will challenge your perspective and open new doors.

    How to Build High-End Dental Practices in Saturated Markets | Dr. Rhonda Kalasho, DDS

    Ever wonder how some dentists break into high-income, oversaturated markets—and thrive? Dr. Rhonda Kalasho (@dr.rhondakalasho⁠) did exactly that. She built and scaled TruGlo Modern Dental with locations in Beverly Hills, Calabasas, and Hollywood, defying the odds by establishing a luxury brand that attracts loyal patients without relying on insurance-based volume. In this episode of Teeth Matter, Dr. Kalasho shares: How she opened three premium practices in ultra-competitive zip codes Her exact strategy for acquiring new patients through a dental membership model Why she’s against in-house financing—and what she offers instead The dark side of dental practice acquisitions and what you’re not being told What it really takes to stand out when everyone’s already doing veneers, injectables, and smile makeovers This is a masterclass for young dentists and dental entrepreneurs looking to grow strategically, build a bold brand, and make an impact—even in the most saturated markets.

    In Part Three of our series with Dr. Naved Fatmi, D.M.D. (@drnavedfatmi), we dive into the side of dentistry no one wants to face—but everyone needs to understand: malpractice and ethics. Dr. Fatmi, who was appointed in 2015 as the youngest dentist ever to serve on the Florida Board of Dentistry, offers an inside look at what actually gets dentists into trouble, the blind spots many overlook, and how to protect your license—and your reputation. We explore: Common patterns behind board investigations and malpractice claims The legal gray zones dentists don’t even realize they’re in Why proper documentation and patient communication are your best legal armor How to handle pressure when patient satisfaction clashes with ethical care What dentists misunderstand about the role of the Board—and how it's not just about punishment, but protection Whether you're a new grad or a seasoned practice owner, this episode will change the way you think about risk, responsibility, and the ethics that shape your career.

    Choices That Shape Your Career: PART 2 | Dr Naved Fatmi, DMD

    In Part Two of our conversation with Dr. Naved Fatmi, D.M.D. (@drnavedfatmi), we dive into the real-world business of dentistry—beyond the operatory. We unpack what sweat equity actually means, how to approach job interviews with the right mindset, and why treatment planning is one of the most valuable (and overlooked) skills in building trust and case acceptance. Dr. Fatmi also breaks down how your lifestyle choices and personal priorities—like choosing to live in a high-cost city—can directly impact your earning potential. From location to lifestyle, these decisions often determine not just your quality of life, but how much you actually take home. Whether you’re navigating your first associate position or rethinking how you run your practice, this episode offers grounded advice with long-term impact.
