Russ Ledbetter is the lead dental practice consultant at Dental Consulting Experts | The Ledbetter Group. Since 1989, he has worked with hundreds of dentists to improve production, strengthen management systems, reduce stress, and build more effective teams. Russ’s consulting approach is highly hands-on. He works directly with dentists and their teams through one-on-one coaching, in-office implementation, front-office systems training, leadership development, scheduling improvement, hygiene systems, case acceptance support, and accountability. His goal is not to take over the management of a practice, but to help the dentist and team develop stronger systems they can continue using long after the consulting engagement ends. Practices working with The Ledbetter Group have achieved substantial and sustained production growth through better systems and management—not through raising fees, rushing dentistry, or changing diagnostic philosophy. Russ holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Alabama and has more than 35 years of experience helping independent dental practices improve performance while preserving owner control and long-term practice value.
