What Is Enough? The Money Psychology That Keeps Dentists Either Broke or Burned Out
At a party on Shelter Island, the author Kurt Vonnegut told his friend Joseph Heller — who wrote Catch-22 — that the hedge fund manager hosting them had made more money in a single day than Catch-22 had earned in its entire history. Heller's response: "Yes, but I have something he will never have — […]

The Equipment Trap: Why Buying That CBCT Might Be the Most Expensive Decision You'll Ever Make
You probably know a dentist who bought a cone beam CT scanner and barely uses it. Maybe you are that dentist. The machine sits in a room, underutilized. You know the image quality is there. You know the clinical applications are real. But somewhere between the delivery day excitement and the reality of Monday morning, […]

Your Dental Practice Is a Micro-Stock: The CEO Playbook for Allocating Capital
Every major company in the world has a capital allocation strategy. Apple decides which dollars go to R&D, which go to share buybacks, which go to dividends, and which sit in reserve. ExxonMobil does the same. So does every company between a two-person startup and a trillion-dollar enterprise. The quality of those decisions — not […]

Nine Months. One Application. From a Tattoo Artist. Inside Dentistry's Worst Hiring Crisis.
If you want to understand the state of the American labor market in 2026, you don't need to look at aggregate unemployment figures or Federal Reserve commentary. You need to read the section of the ADA Health Policy Institute's Q1 2026 dental economy report titled "Staffing." It reads like a survival diary. Practice owners describing […]

The Quiet Automation of Local Healthcare: What the ADA Q1 2026 Data Is Really Telling Us
There's a data point buried near the end of the ADA Health Policy Institute's Q1 2026 State of the US Dental Economy report that I keep coming back to. It's easy to miss if you're focused on the bigger headlines about hygienist shortages or insurance reimbursement pressure. But I think it might be the most […]

Squeezed from Both Sides: Why Your Dentist Can't Raise Prices Even When Costs Skyrocket
Every quarter I open the ADA Health Policy Institute's State of the US Dental Economy report expecting to find a familiar story. Q1 2026 delivered something sharper. The concept the report introduces this cycle — the "fiscal squeeze" — is one of the clearest illustrations I've seen of why so many independent dental practices are […]

The Fractional C-Suite: How Dental Practices Can Get CEO, COO & CFO Thinking Without the $500K Salary
ExxonMobil has a Chief Financial Officer. So does your dental practice. The difference is that ExxonMobil pays theirs $1.2 million a year, and yours is you — usually at 10pm after a full day in the chair, squinting at a QuickBooks report you didn't have time to understand. This is the trap most dental owners […]

You Can't Scale Chaos: The 4 Clarity Gaps Killing Dental Practice Growth
When a dental practice stalls, the first instinct is to look outward. Maybe the marketing isn't aggressive enough. Maybe the location needs more visibility. Maybe a different insurance mix would drive more patients through the door. But practice management consultants who work inside dozens of practices every year tend to find something different when they […]

The DIY Trap: Why Doing Everything Yourself Is the Most Expensive Decision in Your Dental Practice
There is a story most dentists tell themselves about why they do everything themselves. It sounds like this: "I have high standards. I know how I want things done. If I hand it off, it won't be done the way I'd do it." That's not a character flaw. That's the same drive that built a […]
