Scaling a dental practice isn’t just about adding operatories... it’s about having the right leadership and systems in place.

In this episode of the Nifty Thrifty Dentists Podcast, Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Erica Benavente, Founder of Quest Dental Solutions, to discuss why many dentists hit a ceiling when they try to scale without executive-level operational support.

In this episode, we cover:

• When dentists actually need a fractional COO
• Why office managers can’t scale practices alone
• How systems and staffing must evolve as practices grow
• What changes when you expand to multiple locations

In this episode of the Nifty Thrifty Dentists Podcast, Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Dr. Joy Void-Holmes, CEO & Founder of Dr. Joy, RDH, to unpack one of the biggest challenges facing dental practices today: rising hygiene wages paired with shrinking reimbursements.

Dr. Joy brings nearly 30 years of experience across clinical dentistry, education, and business strategy to explain why hygiene should no longer be viewed as a cost center, but instead as a profit and practice valuation engine.

They discuss how insurance mix, business literacy, training, and clear expectations on both sides of the chair can dramatically change hygiene performance, team retention, and long-term practice value.

If you’re a practice owner struggling with hygiene staffing, compensation, production, or burnout, this episode will shift how you think about your hygiene department.

Aaron and his team have mailed over 100 million postcards for dentists and track everything... from where your best patients live, to which offers they respond to, to how your front desk handles every call.

⦁ Maps where your BEST patients already come from (down to neighborhoods)

⦁ Targets their neighbors instead of wasting money mailing your existing patients

⦁ Tracks every call with unique numbers for each mailing and area

⦁ Scores front desk performance and helps you improve conversions

⦁ Matches each new patient and dollar back to the homes that got the mailers …so you finally know your true ROI from direct mail.

"Mistakes are milestones.💡"

The biggest lesson in dentistry? Learn to master your money, not just your margins.

On the Nifty Thrifty Dentists Podcast, Dr. Blair Feldman shares one of the most powerful truths he’s learned after 22+ years as an orthodontist and entrepreneur: Celebrating your mistakes is the first step to real growth.

“Celebrate your mistakes. Learn from them. Then build from them.”

And speaking of building, Blair built the Retainer Club to fix one of the most frustrating issues in orthodontics: retainer replacement. What used to be a time-consuming, patient-annoying, low-margin task is now automated, streamlined, and profitable.

Whether you're doing aligners or referring out ortho, Retainer Club helps you offer retainer continuity, improve patient care, and unlock passive revenue—without adding more work for your team.

In this episode of the Nifty Thrifty Dentists Podcast, Dr. Glenn Vo interviews Greg Essenmacher, CEO of GnA Consult, about the systems, strategy, and operational support that dental practices need to thrive, especially when scaling into more complex procedures like full-arch dentistry.

Greg Essenmacher is a trailblazer in All-on-X dentistry, revolutionizing single-office practitioners into thriving implant practices that often expand into large group practices.

Helped hundreds of practices increase full arch profitability, case acceptance, and patient outcomes.

Helped practices turn Full Arch into their most valuable asset—boosting EBITDA and long-term valuation

Greg’s formula focuses on results you can see—higher margins, more arches, and a team-driven system that runs without the doctor spending 1+ hours in every consult.

🦷 Greg unpacks:

The biggest mistake doctors make when trying to grow (hint: it’s not just marketing)

Why team alignment and systems matter more than ever

How GnA Consult supports DSOs and private practices alike—from onboarding to full operational execution

The real stressors practices face when clinical production spikes (and how to prevent burnout)
