Show Notes
Most dentists don’t need more education — they need more implementation.
In this episode, T-Bone and Meredith unpack the hard truth about elite-level CE and why thousands of dentists stay stuck in the same schedule — overwhelmed, overworked, and still doing single-tooth dentistry.
They reveal why collecting certificates doesn’t create confidence, and why your next level isn’t another course — it’s better systems, stronger leadership, and true team alignment.
You’ll learn how to finally turn your continuing education into continuing results.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why more CE isn’t the solution — implementation is
- The hidden cost of “expensive identity badges”
- How to know if your practice is ready for the CE you’re taking
- The 3-part framework to break the CE cycle: Evaluate. Align. Implement.
- How team buy-in transforms every course you take into profit
- Why your patients don’t pay for your credentials — they pay for your confidence
The 3D Framework:
• Evaluate your readiness and resources
• Align your CE with your practice stage and patient base
• Implement with your team — don’t go it alone
