Drs Kritika Mehra and Jimmi Patel's interview on the Smile Business Diaries podcast offers valuable insights for dentists looking to elevate their practices through a patient-centered approach. They share their journey of establishing The House of Smile Design, a DSD-certified clinic in rural Australia, emphasizing the importance of a unified vision across all aspects of the practice. Their clinic prioritizes patient comfort and exceptional service, with a luxurious and non-clinical front area designed to disconnect patients from the typical dental experience.

Key takeaways include the significance of integrating branding and design with the overall practice concept, as well as the need to involve all stakeholders, from the marketing team to the builders, in the planning process. They stress the value of honest communication within a business partnership and with the team, and the importance of embracing technology. They also highlight the adaptability of DSD to different communities, having successfully implemented it in both rural and urban settings. Their experience demonstrates that a focus on ethics and a commitment to providing unbiased treatment plans are crucial for success
