    EP 320: The Real Reason Your Dental Practice Isn’t Growing (It’s Not Marketing) | Part 3

    If your dental practice isn’t growing, it’s tempting to blame marketing, staffing, or “the economy.” But what if the real problem is leadership avoidance?  In this episode, we break down the uncomfortable truth behind scaling a dental practice: growth requires change, and change requires discomfort. If you want to increase case acceptance, improve phone conversion, reduce no-shows, build a stronger team, and create consistent profitability, you can’t keep running your practice like a group chat where everyone has opinions and nobody has decision rights. We talk about why cash flow, KPIs, referrals, and profitability are lagging indicators, and how the leading indicators (cadence, training, oversight, systems, and consistent leadership) are what actually create a scalable dental organization.  This is for dentists, practice owners, and DSO-minded operators who want real practice growth, stronger culture, better execution, and a business that doesn’t collapse under pressure. If you’re ready to stop avoiding hard conversations and start leading like a true Dentist CEO, this episode is your wake-up call. Highlights: → You’ll learn why most “people problems” in a dental office are actually leadership problems, and how oversight and training fix what software can’t.  → We unpack how to tell the difference between leading indicators vs lagging indicators in your dental practice KPIs, and why profitability can hide a fragile culture.  → You’ll hear why consistency matters more than charisma for dentists who want trust, retention, and execution.  → And we lay out how a real operating cadence, scorecards, communication rhythms, and clear decision rights, turns chaos into scale.

    Your Practice Won’t Scale Until YOU Do This First (Curiosity) | Part 2

    If you’ve ever felt like your dental practice is “doing well” on paper but you feel empty, stressed, or stuck, this episode is for you. You can buy the best marketing plan, the newest technology, the next shiny laser, or even hire the right consultant, and still watch everything crumble if the foundation isn’t stable. In this conversation, we break down the real driver of sustainable growth: leadership and mindset. Because scaling isn’t magic. Scaling is a process, and your practice can only rise to the level of the leader running it. We talk about why discipline, habits, purpose, and vision create the kind of energy that attracts great team members, improves retention, strengthens culture, and ultimately increases profitability.  If you want to scale your dental office, grow your team, increase hygiene production, improve systems, and even double EBITDA, you’ll hear the “unsexy” truth most people avoid: the fastest way to scale your business is to become the person people want to follow. You’ll Learn: → You’ll learn why skill sets and strategy matter, but fail without mindset and self-leadership → How small daily habits (like choosing the “apple over the Hershey bar”) compound into confidence, energy, and better decisions → How to lead your team with vision so people stay even when they could make more elsewhere  “Science of scaling” that forces every practice to reinvent itself or slide into maturity and decline To connect with Dr. Buske follow the links below -  LinkedIn Instagram Facebook Limitless Dentist Academy Join Dental Syndicate HERE Learn more about your ad choices.

    EP 318: How to Scale Your Practice Without Destroying Your Marriage & Health

    If you’re trying to scale your dental practice by copying what worked for another dentist, this episode will save you years of stress. “Copy-paste scaling” looks smart on paper, new locations, bigger teams, more production, but it often builds a bigger hamster wheel that drains your energy, wrecks your marriage, and destroys your health. In this conversation, we expose the real reason most practices stall: it’s not a production problem… it’s leadership dressed up in a white coat. Eric Moore from Tower Leadership breaks down why templates fail in dentistry, why strategy must be personal, and how the best practice growth starts with one question: What do you want?  Whether you’re a solo doc trying to regain sanity, building a multi-doctor practice, or thinking about DSOs/private equity, you’ll learn how to scale with clarity, without becoming the bottleneck. If you want practice growth, better systems, more profit, and a business that supports your life (instead of consuming it), this episode gives you the mindset shift and the framework to do it right. You’ll Learn:  → Why dentists are drawn to templates and “proven systems,” and how that mindset backfires when your ambition, family life, stress tolerance, and leadership style don’t match the person you’re copying.  → The difference between the “science” of business metrics and the “art” of scaling, strategy, differentiation, culture, motivation, and attracting top talent.  → Why every business should start with an exit, how reverse engineering your end goal creates faster and more efficient growth. → Why the foundation of real practice expansion is building the leader who great people choose to follow.

    EP 313: High-Income Dentist? You Might Still Be Financially Fragile

    High-income dentists are some of the best producers on the planet… but many are still financially fragile. One injury, one unexpected life event, one production dip, and the whole system starts to wobble. In this episode of Dentistry on Fire, I sit down with my friend Michael G. Isom (founder of Vault A.S. and co-author of What Would the Rockefellers Do?) to unpack the biggest money mistakes high earners make, and the systems that create real certainty. We talk about why “more income” doesn’t automatically equal financial freedom, how your identity can get dangerously tied to production, and why that creates stress at home and in the practice. Then we break down the concept of being your own bank, a strategy focused on liquidity, protection, and control using cash value mechanics, so you’re not dependent on a traditional bank when life happens. If you’re a dentist who wants peace of mind, better decision-making, and a path to legacy, this episode will change how you see money.  → Why high-income earners can still be one setback away from crisis → The “money lie” that keeps dentists trapped in stress and overwork → How production swings can create an emotional roller coaster at home → What “be your own bank” actually means in simple terms → Cash value basics (explained in plain English) and why liquidity matters → How policy loans work (and how they differ from bank loans) → The protection/asset-defense angle most dentists never consider → How to build certainty so you can lead better, and live better  To connect with Dr. Buske follow the links below -  LinkedIn Instagram Facebook Limitless Dentist Academy Learn more about your ad choices.

    EP 312: From Prisoner to Producer: Breaking Free from the Dental Grind

    Is your dental practice running you, or are you running it? Too many dentists silently suffer under the weight of stress, burnout, and the painful feeling that despite all their training, they’re stuck. In this raw, real episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske shares how he went from being a frustrated, overworked associate on the brink of leaving dentistry to building a life and practice marked by true freedom, production, and purpose. Dr. Buske, founder of Limitless Dentists, takes us back to 2004, a moment when he almost walked away from it all. With elite training in full-mouth rehab, esthetics, and implantology, he still couldn’t find the patient flow or fulfillment he craved. A chance meeting with Bruce Baird changed everything, introducing him to three foundational pillars: people, processes, and systems. But even as he became a high-producing dentist with multiple practices, Jeff discovered something deeper, he wasn’t free. This episode dives into how Dr. Buske broke the chains of stress, addiction, and disconnection to embrace a new identity and a powerful framework: the Limitless Method. He outlines the necessary identity shifts that take you from prisoner to producer, and ultimately, to a life of freedom, connection, and impact. What you’ll learn in this episode: → The hidden pain many dentists face behind the scenes → Why clinical training alone isn’t enough for success → The moment that sparked a radical life and career transformation → How to apply the Triangle of Transformation for real results → What freedom actually looks like, and how to build it “Even though I was producing and owning practices… I still wasn’t free. The practices owned me.” If this episode hit home, share it with a fellow dentist or journal what “freedom” looks like for you. Want to go deeper?

From Len’s early days of buying a struggling practice under tragic circumstances, to pioneering online review strategies that built a $2.5M fee-for-service powerhouse, to launching a software company acquired by BirdEye, this episode is a masterclass in modern dental success. In this episode, you'll learn: → The critical difference between reputation management and reputation marketing, and why it matters more than ever → How to create a “reputation culture” inside your practice that drives consistent 5-star reviews → Why traditional marketing tactics (like postcards and yellow pages) are dying, and where to focus instead → How AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are changing the patient journey, and how to future-proof your SEO → Practical, low-cost patient experience tips that turn appointments into unforgettable moments “If you’re not visible on Google, you’re invisible.

    EP 309: Dentist Reveals Why Most Practices Will Be Invisible in 5 Years With Dr. Anissa Broussard

    Are you about to become invisible in the new era of dental marketing and AI? In this episode, Dr. Anissa Broussard shares how she went from a small island practice in Jamaica to leading a top dental marketing and AI agency built by a dentist, for dentists. If you’re tired of being the best-kept secret in your city, this conversation is your roadmap. Dental marketing for dentists has shifted dramatically, and practices now need more than traditional dental marketing or basic dental practice marketing to stay competitive. Working with a specialized dental marketing agency can help dentists implement modern strategies like AI dental marketing, social media for dentists, and funnels for dentist, all designed to attract the right patients and create predictable dental practice growth. These tools make it easier to connect with people, build trust, and grow my dental practice without relying on discounts or outdated tactics. In today’s landscape, marketing for dentists must include intelligent systems, automation, and platforms like ChatGPT for dentists to streamline communication and increase conversions. Leaders such as Dr. Anissa Broussard and her agency Digital Floss are setting the standard for what effective, authentic, and future-proof dental marketing looks like. By combining brand storytelling, omnichannel content, and AI-driven optimization, dentists can elevate their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and drive sustainable growth in any market.
