We are joined by Dr. Zachary Allmand to discuss Cutting-Edge Solutions for Dental Overhead Control and more!
Dr. Zachary Allmand graduated from Indiana University Dental School in 2005. Post-graduation, he served our country in the United States Air Force for 5 years, deploying to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. After fulfilling his service, he purchased his first dental practice, where he quickly realized that there was much more to running a successful practice than merely being a good clinician.
Within the first year or so, he shifted his focus to overhead reduction in an attempt to control costs without sacrificing clinical excellence. He quickly learned that there were many aspects of the business where doctors were being taken advantage of, one of the most evident being Credit Card Processing. As he researched the true cost of merchant services, he realized that it could be done better with more transparency, security, and fair treatment for all offices no matter their volume.
He formed Apex Payment Solutions as a means to educate and assist his colleagues by helping them control their overhead costs, give them reassurance of fair pricing, and provide secure technology that reduces the risk of credit card processing. By providing these services, he has helped over 500 dental practices take back control of their expenses and grow their profitability.

We are joined by Jay Malik to discuss Tax Planning for Dentists and more!
Jay Malik, the Americanized version of his South Asian name, has been a constant reminder of his efforts to find workable solutions throughout his life. He adopted this name during his first job in America when someone struggled to pronounce his original name, and he suggested they call him Jay. Since then, he has been known as Jay.
Born in 1964, Jay's early life was marked by challenging circumstances, including periods of homelessness. These experiences of poverty and hardship left a profound impact on him due to his sensitive nature.
From a young age, Jay developed a strong determination to improve his financial situation and help others do the same. Through hard work and perseverance, he achieved financial independence in his late forties, which means he no longer needs to work for a living if he chooses not to.
Jay has always been open to sharing the methods and techniques he used to enhance his financial life. He has assisted others, especially the clients of his practice called "Less Tax For Dentists," in adopting and customizing his system to improve their financial situations. The results of his guidance have been impressive.
His practice initially started in Easton, Pennsylvania, in 2006 with the goal of helping small business owners legally reduce their tax burdens. Over time, Jay discovered that he could make the most significant impact by working with doctors who owned their practices. He further specialized in assisting dentists, forming the foundation of his business.
Throughout his career, Jay has continually educated himself about the dental profession and the latest techniques to minimize tax liabilities. He has successfully served hundreds of doctors, implementing advanced tax strategies holistically for their benefit. His dedication and expertise have made him a trusted advisor for dentists seeking to optimize their financial positions.

We are joined by Steve Adams to discuss Managing Stress in Dentistry: Practical Tips and Strategies and more!
Steve Adams, founder of The Tiger Medical Institute and co-creator of The Tiger Medical System for life-enhancing health, energy, and peak performance, and author of "Patient Number One?".
Here’s what he knows about himself... He has given his whole life to others. Sure, he's successful, reasonably well paid, feels grateful, and considers that he's living a great life, all thanks to his hard work, sacrifice, and putting everyone else first from the time he opened his business or practice to now.
Sometimes he wonders and feels like it just might be killing him in the process.
Here are the facts. Stress kills. Bad habits kill. An unhealthy routine kills. Long hours kill. Negative energy kills.
He knows this because he was just like himself. He thought the way to his hopes, dreams, and goals was through harder work at the mercy and compromise of his health. His intention was to give everything he could to his family, but instead, he almost lost it all.
All because he had let himself go. His health suffered. He was putting his business, his employees, and his customers before himself.
Then the most miraculous thing happened. He discovered the way to have it all by becoming PATIENT NUMBER ONE himself. And that’s when everything turned around.
Since that time, he has set out on a mission to give back, a quest to make a difference, and a determined commitment to share what he’s learned and help others.

We are joined by Dr. Michael D. Medovic to discuss Rural Dentistry: A Path to Financial Success and Community Impact and much more!
One of the most important career moments for a dentist is when they join a practice, expand, or sell a practice. The current market for facilitating this important transaction is fragmented, inconsistent, confusing and stressful. It is often just about the transaction itself, not the hard work necessary to establish better matches, stronger relationships or managing success afterwards.
ADA Practice Transitions (ADAPT) makes entering or leaving a practice more predictable, enjoyable and stress free.
ADAPT, a service of ADA Business Innovation Group, matches dentists who are looking to join a practice with owners who are seeking an associate or someone to purchase their practice. ADA Practice Transitions is bringing dentists all the tools, information and support that is vital to the process while facilitating matches based on what matters to dentists the most - their philosophy of care. They work closely with our clients, offering training and coaching - all with a focus on allowing them to achieve their individual and mutual goals.

She developed a pilot project for the State of Minnesota to deliver care to developmentally disabled patients living in group homes which is still going strong 28 years later.
As National Spokesperson and Consumer Advisor for the American Dental Association, Dr Harms has appeared on their behalf on the Today Show, CNN, Fox News, National Public Radio and network affiliates such as CBS, NBC, and ABC. In addition, she has been quoted in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Consumer's Digest, Buzz Feed, Shape Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan and numerous other print and internet publications.

In everything he does, DentalEase author Steve Anderson loves to impact others and leave a lasting legacy of improvement. For dentists, that means showing them how to renovate or construct the dental practice of their dreams, save at least ten thousand dollars in the process, and build a dental practice that is stress-free and profitable. The result of 30 years of passionate effort, the DentalEase program is Steve’s not-so-secret weapon to practice perfection, and he’s here to share his methods with the world.
His singular goal is to make any dentist’s dream practice a reality. Starting his construction career in 1984, he has specialized in building dental offices since 1997 through his company Denco Dental Construction Inc.

Steve Anderson is the only general contractor in Arizona who is endorsed by the Arizona Dental Association. He also provides CE credits for seminars which he teaches at dental schools and special engagements.

He knows first-hand how hard it is for dentists to figure out where to start or how to build the practice they envision on their own.

We are joined by Dr. Travis Campbell to discuss Maximize Your Revenue When Dealing With Insurance Companies and much more!
When Dr. Travis Campbell had questions about insurance, he learned quickly that he had to do his own research to find answers. This required a significant investment of time because insurance information is not always clear cut and certainly not well documented as a whole. Even dental insurance companies can sometimes be poor sources for correct information. Through determination and dedication, he decided to not only write a comprehensive guidebook, Understanding Dental Insurance: A Guide for Dentists and Their Teams, but he also created a space for fellow dentists to come together and get the training needed to either avoid or quickly overcome most challenges that come with dental insurance. Remember, you are not alone. Join today. If you don’t learn the rules, you are limiting yourself to never fully learning the game; therefore, lowering your chance of maximizing claim reimbursements.
Dr. Travis Campbell, has been a practicing dentist since 2009, after graduating from Baylor University in Waco, Texas (2005) and then Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, Texas. Yes, Dr. Campbell is a born and bred Texan, and proud of it. But even more notable, dentistry simply runs through his veins. He announced he “wanted to be a dentist” after his first dental visit at the age of three, and never once changed his goal.
Today, dentistry remains a passion. He still loves the clinical side of treating patients, yet early on he developed a similar passion for the business end of running a practice. In fact, before he graduated from dental school, he built a vision and business plan for 380 Family Dentistry in Prosper, Texas. At the time, the town of Prosper was a very tiny community well north of Dallas. There were cattle living across the highway from his first office!
Dr. Campbell is now an author, trainer, speaker, contributor to various online dental communities, and dental coach and consultant. Ever an entrepreneur, Dr. Campbell purchased a second dental practice, in Garland, Texas in the fall of 2019. Having gained a reputation as a resource for other dentists in the complex area of dental insurance, Dr. Campbell’s new “moniker” is “The Dental Insurance Guy!” From understanding insurance to developing strategies to accelerate practice growth, Dr. Campbell delivers practical, actionable content that dentists and team members can use immediately. He dispels many of the myths and misinformation around today’s dental insurance policies and explains how to navigate the complexities of being an exceptional dentist, business owner, and leader while still having a life outside of work.

Today we are joined by Robert Spiel to discuss How To Make Your Practice Appealing To Quality Team Members and much more!
Bob Spiel’s passion is building high-performance teams who deliver exceptional service while doing more, in less time with less stress. His firms, Spiel Consulting and Dentist Hiring Pros, transform general and specialty dental practices by building leaders at all levels — with a special focus on building leaders among owners and associate dentists.
Bob had over twenty-five years of business experience before getting into dentistry including being a hospital and surgical center CEO, as well as an operations director for two mid-cap firms. This taught Bob to see each need in a dental practice with a “systems orientation”. Using this approach, over the past 10 years his firms have achieved a remarkable 90% success rate in searching for, hiring, and retaining associate dentists compared to the dismal 75% failure rate the dental industry has as a track record. He sees this as the number one threat to the continuation of private practice dentistry and aims to change that.
He is a faculty member for Dr. Gordon Christensen where he teaches a breakthrough course on leadership each fall called Igniting the Leader in You, as well as the author of: Flip Your Focus — Igniting People, Profits and Performance through Upside-down Leadership (FlipYourFocusBook.com).

Today, Stephanie Botts joins us to discuss Practicing Without Pain; The Physical and Financial Benefits of Ergonomics & much more!
Stephanie has been a full time clinical dental hygienist for 13 years, and currently practices in Denver, Colorado. She is passionate about her role in her patients’ health and well-being.
Like many dental professionals, Stephanie has noticed increasing pain over the years due to the repetitive motions under a static position that the practice of dental hygiene requires. She began to ask herself, “What will my body feel like 10 years from now? Or 20? Will I be able to enjoy my retirement or will I be in chronic pain due to my career?”
These questions motivated her to learn about proper ergonomics and different equipment choices that can allow for pain free practice.
Stephanie now helps others in her field with customized ergonomic assessments and coaching. She knows the realities of daily practice in a dental office, the unique challenges we face, and can help you not only improve the quality of your practice, but the quality of your life.

Dental Radiography: Improving the Diagnostic Quality of Your RadiographsToday we are joined by Janet Simpson of DentalXrayCoach.com to discuss Dental Radiography, improving the diagnostic quality of your radiographs and much more!
Obtaining quality radiographs would be easy if all our patients had big mouths, nice wide arches, high palettes, and straight teeth. However, we often have crowded arches, malposed and rotated teeth, touching gag reflexes, pushy tongues, chubby cheeks, and patients who tend to be exasperated or uncooperative. To make things even more difficult the wired sensors are smaller, harder, bulkier, more uncomfortable than film and black or dark blue. To top it off dental assistants that have been trained on the job "learned" to take dental X-rays in one weekend. They were never taught the secrets of shadow casting, or bisecting. My mission is to help.
I've been a speaker, but would like to focus more of my attention to in person coaching.
My co-worker Darlene is an RDAEF with over 40 years in dentistry. She and I want to spend more time in dental offices coaching dental assistants in all aspects of their job.
Janet Simpson, is a registered dental assistant in San Diego California. She began her career in 1989 working in general and pediatric dental offices, but found her niche in education. Currently, she is a speaker, consultant and owner of Dental Fundamentals Continuing Education. she enjoys her roles as dental assistant, dental assisting instructor, clinic coordinator, and team trainer. She has presented "Rad Refresher" at the California Dental Association CDA presents multiple times, as well as smaller meetings and various study clubs. She is also an experienced trainer in regulatory compliance and California infection control requirements.
Mrs. Simpson’s vision for her training company, Dental Fundamentals C.E., is to study challenges, uncover solutions, and connect the learner to increased knowledge and skill. Because over 50% of all the dental assistants in the state of California have been trained on the job, providing access to quality education is one of her highest objectives. Her goal is to provide access to information that many training programs did not have time to present and to remove the barriers to professional growth.

Teledentistry Support Organizations in Modern DentistryToday we are joined by Dr. Vilas Sastry of Teledentistry.com to discuss Teledentistry in modern dental practices and much more!
Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I have been in the dental industry for over 20 years and have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients.
Through my experiences with them, I have been able to find solutions to several of their issues ranging from actual dental care needs to the more complex financial and technological barriers that we must all navigate as health care providers.
From 2006-2017, as Chief Executive Officer of Aces Dental, I led a team of dentists to provide real world dental services in the Las Vegas area. Concurrently from 2007-2016 as CEO of Health Networks of America, I grew a dental insurance brokerage firm from scratch to a multimillion-dollar operation spanning over 3000 dental offices nationwide. I have gained industry insight from both the dental practitioner’s perspective and that of the insurance companies I worked with.
This has allowed me to create solutions that help dental practices, dental insurance, and most importantly the patients we serve. Today as CEO of Teledentistry.com, these previous experiences have led to the creation of a unique business model that bridges decades of experience in patient care, dentistry, technology and insurance. Please visit our company page www.teledentistry.com to learn more.

She began a start-up dental practice from scratch in the financial district of San Francisco six years ago. Three years ago, she purchased and merged into an existing practice in Union Square where she is currently full-time.

Her clinical passions include porcelain veneers, the art of composite, adhesive dentistry, CAD/CAM design with digital workflow, and full mouth reconstructive cases. She loves building her portfolio through beautiful photography.
Dr. Skoulas has shined in the industry as a bright and talented leader. She was selected as the Vice Chair of the highly competitive California Dental Association New Dentist Committee. In addition, she held a role as a delegate to the CDA House of Delegates representing Los Angeles. During her 3-year tenure, she contributed significant amount of time and effort to creating progressive impact on many key issues. These positions allowed her to voice her opinion on policy changes that would affect the dental industry as a whole. Her input helped in reformatting the dental board examinations nationally, modifying the licensure examination to the option of portfolio testing, advancing the creation of a mid-level provider in oral healthcare, as well as providing input on changes in dental insurance for patients through Covered California.
Her passion to stay informed and impact change and progress in her industry and healthcare are very clear to everyone she touches.

Pros and Cons of Dental Bonus Plans
We're joined today by Sharon Weiss to discuss the pros and cons of dental bonus plans. Dentists are more eager than ever to retain their staff which means they are offering higher levels of compensation to their employees. Unfortunately, many institute bonus plans as a way to increase motivation and retention, while supposedly controlling costs.
But these bonus plans often backfire. This is not surprising, because research done by social scientists over the last 60 years shows that money is not a great motivator and in fact, surprisingly has a negative impact on performance. Even worse, bonus plans in a dental office can be unethical.

How your Dental Practice Can Improve Case Acceptance
We welcome Darren Kaberna back for a second appearance on The Dental Brief to discuss How Dental Practice Can Improve Case Acceptance! He shares on the way a practice can measure their case acceptance totals by comparing the dollars prescribed versus the dollars completed. This helps give dentists an approximate measure. The ideal case acceptance percentage should be between 45-50% .
If this percentage is lower, a practice should begin to evaluate a plan of strategy to effectively talk with patients about treatment plans. However, it is possible that case acceptance can be too high for instance between 80-90%, mostly caused by insurance issues. When a dentist learns ways to properly talk through with patients about care plans they will most likely find themselves in the sweet spot range of around 50% case acceptance!
