Beyond the Chair: Protecting Smiles with Dental Warranties
Description
What if every crown, implant, or veneer you placed didn't just build smiles—but built wealth?
In this episode, Dr. Len Tau sits down with innovators Max Zanan and Adam Marburger of Dental Protection Group to reveal how dentists can turn warranties into a new revenue stream. They're showing why protecting your patients' dental work can also protect—and grow—your financial future.
They explain how this simple yet powerful concept—borrowed from the automotive industry—offers dentists a way to increase patient trust, improve case acceptance, and build long-term wealth through profit-sharing warranty programs.
Max and Adam share how their model allows dentists to turn warranties into wealth-building vehicles, all while protecting patients and creating a new stream of passive income in a tax-advantaged environment. They also discuss how to get your team on board, how to present warranties to patients, and why this model is changing how entrepreneurial dentists think about their businesses.
You'll learn:
-
Warranties Build Trust: Patients already value protection plans in every purchase—offering one in dentistry creates instant credibility and peace of mind.
-
Wealth Through Risk Transfer: Unlike goodwill replacements, Dental Protection Group's model lets dentists transfer risk and receive compensation when failures occur.
-
Profit Sharing Opportunity: Money left over from unclaimed warranties is returned to the practice, compounding over time like a "401(k) on steroids."
-
Team Buy-In Is Key: Success depends on making warranties part of the practice culture—presented as a standard part of every procedure, not an upsell.
-
Entrepreneurial Dentistry: The program empowers dentists to generate long-term, tax-friendly income, fund growth, or even retire earlier.
