Is dental insurance slowly draining your profit and your passion for dentistry?
Many dentists today are working harder, seeing more patients, and yet taking home less.
In this episode, Ian is joined by Sandi Hudson of Unlock the PPO, one of the most respected voices helping dentists understand, renegotiate, and reduce insurance dependence with confidence. Together, they dig into the real financial and emotional toll insurance has on private practice dentistry — and what dentists can do to regain control, profitability, and fulfilment again.
Sandi shares her personal story of discovering the hidden leaks in her own husband’s practice, the mistakes nearly every dentist makes with insurance contracts, and the step-by-step process to protect your revenue without losing patients. Whether you’re considering going out of network, feeling trapped by shrinking reimbursements, or simply exhausted by the insurance hamster wheel, this conversation is packed with clarity, encouragement, and practical next steps.
