Show Notes
In this episode of The Dental CEO Podcast, Scott Leune talks with Irene Janku—hygienist, educator, and practice owner in Toronto—about one of the most unconventional but thought-provoking models in dentistry: hygienist-owned practices. Together, they explore how this model works legally and financially, what it means for dentists and hygienists working side by side, and why it could reshape how practices are structured and staffed. From funding hurdles to systemization to the potential of dentist-hygienist partnerships, this conversation challenges assumptions and opens the door to new possibilities for independent dentistry.
