If you’ve ever wished your team cared about your practice as much as you do, this episode is a must-listen!

Building a successful dental practice isn’t just about providing great care—it’s about creating a culture where your team takes ownership, works together, and drives growth. To break down how you can make that happen, I’m joined by Craig McVey, Chief Operations Officer and Acquisition Analyst at Mountainside Dental Group. With 18 years in the dental industry and a deep understanding of practice management, Craig shares invaluable insights on leadership, transparency, and team-driven success.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why data transparency is key to a thriving dental practice
• How team culture and leadership development impact performance
• The power of profit-sharing to boost motivation and retention
• How to keep your schedule full and improve case acceptance rates
• The importance of regular team meetings and how to make them effective
