The bridge you're walking across has missing planks. Every step feels uncertain, progress slows to a crawl, and you might even consider turning back. This perfectly captures what running a dental practice feels like when critical systems are missing or broken.
Most dental practices struggle with five fundamental gaps: inadequate onboarding that never fully integrates team members into the culture; collections and financing systems that allow money to leak through cracks; chaotic scheduling that creates daily stress instead of predictable production; case acceptance approaches that focus solely on the dentist rather than leveraging the entire team; and leadership systems that fail to create accountability and coordination. The consequences manifest as constant frustration, team turnover, and profitability challenges.
