START-UP or BUY an Existing Dental Practice?

Today we are joined by Dr. Antigone Skoulas to discuss choosing a START-UP or BUYING an Existing Dental Practice and much more!

Dr. Antigone Skoulas has a deeply engrained passion for helping people. She has the desire to serve beyond her current patients as a clinician, and rather impact the community holistically. Her well-rounded and unique education at UCLA (BS), University of Pacific (DDS), and Pepperdine (MBA) set her up for success in each of her future appointments and roles. 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.

She provides her patients with the highest standard of care, always advancing in her clinical technique and education. She is on the path to be a Kois Graduate, accredited with the AACD, and a fellow of the AGD hopefully within the next two year. 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. Her creativity is evident as she always goes above and beyond each of her obligations in order to provide progress for future generations and raise the bar in everything that she does.

Teledentistry Support Organizations in Modern Dentistry

Today 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.

Dental Radiography:  Improving the Diagnostic Quality of Your Radiographs

Today 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.   Janet has been recognized as an exemplary online instructor by San Diego Mesa College where she worked as an adjunct instructor for 5 years.   Her online courses can be found at www.dentalxraycoach.com

Janet is passionate about supporting the underserved.  She enjoys her work as Clinic Coordinator of Cura Smiles Dental Clinic, where she facilitates volunteers providing pro bono oral healthcare to those in need in the heart of San Diego.   Cura Smiles was recogn

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.

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).

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.

We are joined by Steve Anderson to discuss How To Maximize Your Revenue and Your Square Footage & much more!

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. In that time he worked with over 1,000 dentists, assisting them in designing and building the dental office they have always dreamed of owning and practicing in. 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.

His new book, DentalEase: The Essential Guide to Creating the Stress-Free and Profitable Dental Practice of Your Dreams, is a detailed written account of his expert knowledge on the subject. The goal of this essential guide is to assist dentists in making educated decisions effortlessly and minimizing the painful (and expensive) lessons many experiences.

Steve knows how to create a dream dental practice from the ground up, literally, so dentists can achieve their goal in their practice that fits their vision. 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. Dentists have found the guide they’ve been looking for, calling DentalEase, “An incredible encyclopedia on how to attain success.”

Dr. Harms is a former grief counselor and currently is a "Qualified Neutral" (Civil Mediator) in the state of Minnesota where she manages patient complaint intake for the MDA's Peer Review program.

With 30-years in clinical dentistry and 21 years as a National Spokesperson for the American Dental Association, Kimberly Harms D.D.S. has seen the importance of positive communication, management of conflict and relationship building firsthand. Her goal is to help untangle problems and support those with grief issues by sharing that accumulated knowledge with seminar attendees.

Dr. Harms practiced dentistry as an enlisted officer in the U.S. Public Health Service, as a dental associate, and for most of her career as co-owner of a private practice in Farmington, MN. 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.

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.

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.

He proudly advocates "The Hands, The Head, and The Heart" approach, a transformative method that enhances a dental practice's profitability, fun, and fulfillment.

Recognizing the value of ongoing learning, Dr. Maguire offers a personalized, comprehensive, and interactive coaching and training program that focuses on developing expertise not only in dentistry but also in leadership, management, and communication skills.
