Art of Dental Finance and Management

85% of patients check Google reviews before choosing a dentist, and most only trust reviews left in the last two weeks.Art Wiederman talks with Dr. Leonard Tau about what helps dental practices get picked online. They explain why steady daily reviews matter more than a large total, how a five star office culture and a simple front desk question lead to more feedback, and why text requests work better than email for busy patients. They also cover patterns that can get a practice flagged, like incentives, in office QR codes, reviews left from the office location, and filtering feedback, plus the right way to reply to negative reviews and the review count and rating to aim for.Connect with Dr. Leonard TauPhone number:215-292-2100Email:[email protected]:https://www.drlentau.com/--------------🚀 Stop Leaving Money on the Table!When was the last time you renegotiated your PPO contracts?

Your dental practice does not need another task manager. It needs a Chief Operating Officer.Art Wiederman sits down with dental management consultant Gene St Louis to reframe the office manager role as Chief Operating Officer and show what that shift means for leadership, culture and profitability. The discussion covers how a strong doctor and office manager partnership creates clear lanes of responsibility, builds trust through consistent communication, and replaces micromanagement with real accountability. You will hear how structured onboarding, intentional team culture, and simple daily, weekly and monthly checklists keep operations predictable, plus which numbers every office manager should own from production and collections to overhead and accounts receivable over 90 days. Gene also breaks down engineered block scheduling, proactive insurance follow up at 31 days, and how to use technology to improve patient care and team efficiency, along with an inside look at the new GSTL Academy, a 16 module certification program built to give office managers practical training in leadership, financial control, KPI mastery, and systems that scale.Connect with Gene:Website:https://www.genestlouisconsulting.com/Phone Number:866-200-3217630-675-5183Email:[email protected]🚀 Stop Leaving Money on the Table!When was the last time you renegotiated your PPO contracts?

What if getting your dental team to embrace change did not have to end in pushback, frustration and wasted investment.In this episode Art Wiederman sits down with Emme Sanders RDH, author of Welcome to Work and cofounder of Collaboracon, to break down why dental teams resist change and how to make new systems actually stick. Emme shares lessons from completing the Spartan Trifecta and from years in high volume and cosmetic dentistry to show that any goal is achievable when you train your brain and take intentional baby steps. You will learn how to create a welcoming environment by showing up with a happy heart, how to lead from any position in the practice, and how to involve your team early so they stay committed instead of feeling dictated to. Emme walks through a practical Agree Pact for implementing change, celebrating wins and supporting each other, plus gentle language for course correcting without creating conflict. You will also hear how to unravel toxic dynamics, how to address a single challenging team member with anonymous feedback and direct conversation, how to prevent agree drift with supportive check ins, and how to implement new technology like AI as a tool for patient care without letting it collect dust. If you are navigating rising costs, team tension or stalled systems, this conversation gives you a clear starting point and the exact language to start today.Connect with Emme Sanders!Phone Number704-517-0009Collabricon conference website:https://www.collabriconcrew.com/Learn more about Collaboracon happening November 6 and 7 in Nashville at Collaboracon.com and use code 10 off for your team, and find Emme at https://emmesandersrdh.com/ --------------🚀 Stop Leaving Money on the Table!When was the last time you renegotiated your PPO contracts?

Most dentists look at their profit and loss statement but miss the numbers that actually drive practice growth. In this episode, Kevin Bray of Dental Accounting Group shares the key financial metrics every practice owner should monitor to improve profitability, increase production, and make smarter business decisions without getting lost in spreadsheets.Kevin explains why accurate bookkeeping is the foundation of every successful dental practice and how benchmarking against similar offices reveals hidden opportunities for growth. He breaks down the importance of tracking production per hour, hygiene performance, staff costs, collections, and new patient flow while emphasizing that increasing production often has a greater impact than simply cutting expenses. The conversation also explores case acceptance, team alignment, marketing strategies that actually work, practice overhead, hiring associates at the right time, and planning for future partnerships or ownership transitions. Throughout the discussion, Kevin reinforces that understanding your numbers allows you to make confident decisions, reduce stress, and build a more profitable and sustainable practice.Connect with Kevin Bray!
