The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 358

HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak

GUESTS: David Ensley

DESCRIPTION

In this conversation, Craig and Peter interview David Ensley, an orthodontist and part of a dental service organization (DSO). They discuss various topics including the use of Twitter for networking, the differences between GP and ortho startups, the importance of location and visibility for dental practices, the use of Google Ads and CRM for marketing, and the benefits of hiring offshore employees. David shares insights on in-house financing in orthodontics and the challenges of cash flow in the beginning. He also emphasizes the value of specialized roles and better talent that can be obtained through offshore hiring. David shares insights on managing remote teams, finding the right talent, and creating a pathway to ownership for dentists. 

TAKEAWAYS

• Orthodontic startups face challenges with cash flow in the beginning due to the longer treatment times and monthly payment plans.
• Location and visibility are crucial for dental practices, and retail locations with high vehicle traffic are preferred.
• Google Ads and CRM systems like Go High Level can be effective tools for marketing and lead management.
• In-house financing is more common in orthodontics due to the longer treatment times and the ability to break up payments throughout treatment.
• Hiring offshore employees can provide access to specialized roles and better talent at an affordable price. Remote workers can bring efficiency and specialization to a dental practice or DSO.
• Partnerships in a DSO can provide a pathway to ownership and increase retention and quality.
• Collaboration with professionals outside of dentistry can bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas.
• Twitter can be a valuable platform for learning, networking, and engaging with professionals from various industries.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 357

HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak

GUESTS: Brannon Moncrief 

DESCRIPTION

In this episode, Craig and Peter welcome guest Brannon Moncrief as they discuss the common misconception that more dental practice locations automatically lead to higher valuations and buyer demand. They emphasize the importance of building intentionally and scaling only when the first location is successful and profitable. They also highlight the significance of EBITDA as the ultimate key performance indicator (KPI) in dental practice operations and provide insights into what private equity buyers look for in terms of EBITDA percentages. The discussion also touches on the issue of fake EBITDA and the misconception that high personal income equates to a valuable business. 

TAKEAWAYS

• Building with intentionality and ensuring the success and profitability of each location before scaling is crucial.

• EBITDA is the ultimate KPI in dental practice operations and is significant in valuations and buyer demand.

• Private equity buyers look for EBITDA percentages in the range of 20-25% for healthy margins.

• The macroeconomic climate, including interest rates, influences dental practice valuations.

• The market for dental practice acquisitions has changed, with a shift in the mix of buyers and increased scrutiny on the quality of assets. Building a real business in dentistry requires scalability and the ability to survive without the dentist's direct involvement.

• High personal income does not necessarily equate to a valuable business, as fake EBITDA can inflate profits.

• Consolidation in the dental industry is expected to continue, with private equity playing a significant role.

• Dentists should focus on optimizing their practices and adapting to changes in the industry to stay competitive.

• Understanding the value of your business and planning for the future is crucial for long-term success.
