How to Build a Dental Team That Fuels Your Startup’s Success

Let’s be real—staffing challenges are one of the biggest (and most surprising) stressors in private practice ownership. Whether it’s turnover, buy-in, or just general misalignment, your dental team can either be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle.

I’ve seen it firsthand. That’s why in this episode, we bring in Ginny Hegarty, one of the nation’s top experts in dental practice team dynamics, to dig into how you can create a team culture that actually fuels your startup’s success.

Why Your Team Might Be Holding You Back (and How to Fix It)

It’s easy to assume systems and clinical skills are what move the needle most. But in reality, it’s your team. Their energy, alignment, and buy-in are what drive patient experience and production every single day.

Ginny and I explore key concepts that shift practices from chaotic to confident, including:

  • How lessons from Zappos apply to your dental team

  • What your team truly needs to embrace change (hint: it’s not just a raise)

  • A simple approach to measuring performance with the “18 Second Rule”

  • The core team element that unlocks long-term profitability

  • When and how to co-create team goals that actually work

Build a Dental Team That Builds the Practice With You

If you’re opening your own practice—or planning to—you’re not just building a business. You’re building a culture. And that culture starts with the people you choose and how you lead them.

You can solve team headaches before they start, and this episode will show you how.
