Show Notes
Every office starts with great systems…until reality gets in the way. People take shortcuts, new team members learn different habits, and before you know it, everyone’s doing things differently. That’s why Alex built Milo…to keep your checklists, recurring tasks, and office systems running the way they’re supposed to. Learn more HERE!
This Week’s Episode When most dentists think of Medicaid dentures, they don’t exactly think, “That’s the practice model I want.”
Russell Schafer did.
We talk about how he built a profitable practice around a niche that most dentists avoid, why digital workflows have completely changed the way he treats denture patients, and what dentists should know before trying to bring dentures in-house.
We also dive into Digital CE Guild, Russell’s new project that’s trying to become the Craigslist for dental CE. The idea is simple: one place where dentists can search for continuing education by topic and location instead of bouncing between Facebook posts and dozens of different websites. You can check it out at dcgdental.com.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why Russell built his practice around Medicaid dentures
- Making digital dentures work in a real practice
- The biggest mistakes dentists make when bringing dentures in-house
- Why experience matters more than technology
- How Digital CE Guild is trying to simplify finding dental CE
- Tips for reducing Medicaid no-shows and improving efficiency
