“Will You Be my Boards Patient?”

Dear Aspiring Dentist and Future Practice Owner,

I want to share a story with you—one that, in many ways, started it all.

Years ago, I met a young dentist named Dr. Joe. He was talented, driven, and had a clear vision for the kind of practice he wanted to build. Like you, he didn’t just want to work in someone else’s office. He wanted control over treatment plans, the freedom to shape patient experiences, and the ability to build a practice around his values.

Now, here’s the twist: I didn’t meet Dr. Joe in a boardroom—I met him when he asked me to be his patient for his dental boards. I showed up 45 minutes late… and completely blew it for him.

You’d think he would’ve been furious. But Dr. Joe stayed calm, gracious, and professional. He even checked on me afterward to make sure I was okay. That kind of integrity stuck with me. We became friends—and what started as a disappointing day turned into the origin story of Ideal Practices.

Dr. Joe’s early challenges in navigating the business side of dentistry—despite his clinical talent—highlighted something that still holds true today: Dental school doesn’t prepare you to own a business. It prepares you to treat patients—not to negotiate leases, hire teams, analyze demographics, or secure startup financing.

That’s where Ideal Practices comes in.

I made it my mission to create a step-by-step system for launching successful dental practices—without the guesswork. Since then, we’ve built a dream team of specialists, and I’m proud to say we’ve helped launch over 900 startups across the country.

If you’re dreaming of your own practice, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Our team is here to walk alongside you through every stage of ownership. Whether you’re wondering where to start, struggling with funding questions, or thinking through how to find the right location—we’ve done this hundreds of times, and we’re ready to do it with you.

One person I can’t wait for you to meet is Stephen, our Director of Consulting. Clients have called him “The Sage,” “A Book of Wisdom,” and even “The Guiding Light.” And for good reason—he’s helped countless dentists find clarity, build strategy, and make confident decisions, often in just a few hours.

I’ll be introducing you to Stephen soon and sharing how he’s helped doctors like you turn uncertainty into action.

And yes—these messages are coming straight from me. No automation. No generic fluff. Just a real commitment from someone who’s walked this path with hundreds of dentists and knows exactly how transformative it can be when you have the right support.

So if you’re ready to explore what your dream practice could look like—or if you simply want to ask a few questions—just hit reply. I’ll read it personally and respond as soon as I can.

Thank you for considering Ideal Practices as your partner. We can’t wait to help you bring your vision to life.

To your success,
Jayme Amos
CEO, Ideal Practices
