Building a thriving practice also takes time and investment, posing financial risks for young dentists. Limited experience: Graduates, though equipped with clinical skills, might lack the business acumen and operational knowledge crucial for running a successful practice. Gaining experience as an associate dentist first can be valuable. Time commitment: Practice ownership demands more than just clinical expertise. Marketing, administration, staff management, and financial responsibilities are all part of the package, eating into personal time and potentially impacting work-life balance. Early investment: Owning early can benefit from lower practice purchase costs and potentially establish a strong client base in a desired location. Control and autonomy: Practice ownership offers independence and the ability to shape your career path and practice philosophy. Some students value this entrepreneurial spirit. Passion and preparation: Some students, particularly those with prior business experience or strong family support, might possess the drive and resources to navigate the challenges successfully.

These Trends Could Be Costing You $24,000/year & How to Fix It
25 Sep 2025
00:10:55
Tired of the guessing game in your practice management? This essential episode of Dental Unscripted pulls back the curtain on the raw data driving -- or should we say -- stalling dental practices nationwide. We bring in Steven Jensen from Dental Intelligence, a leader in dental practice analytics, to reveal the most critical trends affecting your profitability. We cover these 4 major data points in detail!
The Patient Attrition Crisis: Discover why industry patient growth is flat (around 1.8% per year ) even when you're getting new patients. We show you how the rate of cancellations and no-shows has nearly doubled, pushing patients into an "unscheduled la-la land".
The Case Acceptance Collapse: Learn about the steep decline in treatment dollar acceptance, which has fallen from approximately 46% to the 29%–33% range in just a few years.
The $24,000 Difference: Hear a real-world example of how tracking just three key metrics by provider revealed a 14% difference in case acceptance between hygienists, representing a potential $24,000 gap in doctor production.
From Insight to Action: The conversation moves beyond the "what" and addresses the "how." The hosts and Steven discuss using morning huddles and analytical dashboards to implement new systems that dramatically improve patient retention, treatment acceptance, and overall profitability.
Whether you're struggling to pay bills, scaling, or just want more in your paycheck... leveraging this level of data is the best way to get in the game. This episode provides the intelligence (pun intended) that you need, and the steps to act on it.
ABOUT THE GUEST: Steven Jensen is the Vice President of Business Development at Dental Intelligence, where he has spent seven years helping dental practices and DSOs accelerate growth, improve profitability, and elevate patient care through data-driven strategies. As the host of the "Growth in Dentistry" podcast and a frequent keynote speaker, Steven is known for delivering actionable insights that resonate with dental leaders at every level.

Renting While Owning a Dental Practice - What You Need To Know About Leases!
26 Jun 2025
00:06:33
The single most expensive mistake in your dental career might not be a failed marketing campaign or a bad hire—it's likely hidden in the pages of the lease agreement you signed years ago. While most practice owners focus on the monthly rent, the real financial traps are buried in complex clauses that can dictate the future value and salability of your entire practice.
In this critical episode of Dental Unscripted, hosts Michael Dinsio and Paula Quinn sit down with dental real estate specialist Dan Gleissner of Ally Healthcare Real Estate to expose the pitfalls that most dentists and even non-specialized agents miss. Before you sign or renew, you need to understand the long-term consequences of your lease.
In this discussion, you will learn:
The "Sale-Killer" Clause: About half of all first-draft leases contain severe "assignment" language that could prevent you from selling your practice. In rare cases, just requesting to sell can give the landlord the right to terminate your lease immediately.
The Truth About Triple Nets (NNN): Your rent is not your total cost. We break down the three "nets"—property taxes, insurance, and Common Area Maintenance (CAMs)—and explain how these estimated expenses can lead to a surprise bill for thousands of dollars at the end of the year.
The HVAC & Roof "Gotcha": Who pays for a $30,000 HVAC replacement? In many retail leases, the tenant is responsible for the full, immediate cost. Learn how to negotiate spreading these capital improvements over the lifespan of the asset.e
The Two-Year Rule: To maintain leverage with your landlord, you must start the renewal process at least two years before your lease expires. Waiting until the last minute puts you on the defensive.

Increase Case Acceptance Rates using Patient Finance Options ** MYTHS BUSTED **
27 Mar 2025
00:40:31
Step into Dental Unscripted replacingAcquisition Unscripted. Hosts Michael Dinsio and Paula Quinn, alongside industry experts like executive coach Michael Clark with Next Level Consultants. Our NEW CHANNEL breaks down the dental practice ownership journey with raw, real, and actionable insights. From startups to acquisitions to running a successful practice, this podcast covers it all, one unfiltered episode at a time. In this installment, aired March 27, 2025, the trio dives deep into patient financing—a game changer for boosting case acceptance and turning unscheduled treatment into revenue.
Why does patient financing matter? Michael Clark, a former CareCredit insider, reveals that 15-20% of patients walk in unprepared to pay, leaving practices with massive unscheduled treatment lists (think $1.2-$1.5 million for a $1 million practice). The team unpacks stats showing 50% of revenue comes from insurance, 35% from traditional payments like Visa or cash, and the critical gap financing fills. They tackle why practices shy away—staff discomfort with money talks, misconceptions about fees (it’s a merchant fee, not interest!), and “legacy office managers” pushing risky in-house payment plans that rarely get collected past 120 days.
Paula shares her own experience as a practice owner and how she picked and chose when to use financing options, while Mike highlights a $1.6 million practice only offered patient financing just once - in an entire year. The conversation gets practical: offer financing on 100% of treatment plans, lead with multiple options (cash discounts, credit cards, third-party lenders like CareCredit, Covered Care, or Clarity Pay), and let patients choose. Why? Because 25-30% of those who leave without scheduling get treatment elsewhere, and same-day acceptance is dropping. From clear aligners to high-end restorations, financing can elevate care levels—like zirconia crowns over PFMs or premium dentures over basics. Plus, hear a story of a patient swayed by low monthly payments, proving presentation is everything.
Now unified under the Dental Unscripted banner (bye-bye Startup Unscripted and Acquisition Unscripted), this navy blue and turquoise-branded show—complete with a big tooth logo—is your go-to for practice management gold. https://dental-unscripted.transistor.fm/
0:00 Intro 4:26 Why Use Patient Financing 7:46 Statistics, and Opportunities in Your Practice 13:20 Case Acceptance Rate, Verbal Skills, & Options 14:47 Why Offices Are Using Patient Financing 20:47 Why patients NEED Financing 25:01 Increase Patient Care Option 27:38 Which Financing Companies to Use?

0:00 Intro music
1:00 Episode intro Podcast Announcements Our front office expert breaks down what every dentist needs to know about this crucial but often complex and frustrating process of getting credentialed We even discuss the differences between a practice ownership transition and simply moving from one practice to another as an associate.
Common credentialing pitfalls to avoid Essential documentation you need The truth about insurance company timelines Critical differences between associate and owner credentialing
3:00 The Credentialing Process When purchasing a dental practice, understanding both your current credentialing status and the seller's network participation is crucial. Credentials and reimbursements can vary per location so it can be insightful and strategic to mirror what the seller's existing insurance arrangements for a smoother transition.
6:00 How to Prepare to Get Credentialed Getting accurate credentialing information during a practice transition can be challenging since brokers don't handle these details. Moreover, sellers are often unfamiliar with their own status. Front office team members manage this information and sellers may not request this information for fear of revealing a pending sale?! To verify individual doctor's credentialing status, dentists should proactively maintain copies of their insurance contracts. Direct contact with insurance networks to verify, and, when possible, inquire with front office staff about existing credentialing contracts.
14:50 Common Roadblocks and Challenges Common delays in the credentialing process for dentists include expired malpractice insurance, reliance on employer-provided coverage. Insurance companies often require a finalized bill of sale before approving contracts, further delaying the process. Keeping dental licenses and CAQH profiles updated is crucial, especially when transitioning between states. Working with professionals early on helps streamline the process, ensuring all necessary documents are in place to avoid unnecessary delays.
19:10 How Long Does it Take to Get Credentialed While some claim it can be completed in as little as two weeks, the reality depends on factors like whether the provider is joining an existing practice or establishing a new entity with its own tax ID and NPI. The process involves multiple contracts, including terminating old agreements, which can cause delays. A best-case scenario suggests a 12-week turnaround, but errors in applications or insurance company delays can extend the process. Proper expectations and persistence are key to navigating credentialing successfully.
28:20 What Does Being Out of Network Mean?! Failing to properly prepare for network credentialing can create significant issues for dental practices, especially when patients realize they are unexpectedly out of network. This can lead to frustration, distrust, and potential financial concerns. But many offices make the transition harder than necessary by not fully understanding, in the interim, they can still honor network fees while awaiting credentialing. Proper planning and clear patient communication are key to ensuring a smooth transition and avoiding unnecessary complications. The importance of working with a trusted, experienced professional over the anecdotal advice given by peers who probably lack the firsthand experience involved in the credentialing processes.
36:05 Working With Credentialing Companies The extensive effort and tracking involved in credentialing, underscoring that their goal is to complete the process as quickly and smoothly as possible. Despite misconceptions, delays often stem from insurance companies rather than credentialing firms, and the representatives frontline callers interact with may not have access to accurate information. Ultimately, they urge more understanding and patience, reinforcing that passion and expertise drive Next Level Consultants to achieve the best outcomes for their clients.

What You Need To Know Partnering w/ A Banker, for a Dental Acquisition
20 Dec 2024
00:54:23
Huntington Bank 🏦 is a regional bank based in Columbus, Ohio, with a history dating back to the post-Civil War era.1 In 2017, former employees from Mike and Luke's previous employer joined Huntington to develop a unique dental lending program. Luke has been working in dental lending for over 15 years. He describes the dental industry as resilient and constantly evolving, making his work engaging. CLICK HERE to schedule a phone call ☎️ with Luke to discuss your options!
The conversation emphasizes that rates 📈 are complex and influenced by various market factors, not solely individual credit scores. They are tied to indexes like prime rate (influenced by the Fed) and ten-year treasuries (influenced by market demand). Due to market volatility, the discussion stresses the importance of rate locks. A rate lock provides a ceiling on the interest rate for a specific period, protecting borrowers from potential rate increases.
0:00 - Episode Introduction 2:23 - Mike introduces Luke from Huntington Bank 5:27 - Resilience of dental lending, Emphasizing the stability of the dental industry. 7:18 - Understanding loan rates 9:06 - Federal Reserve rate vs other indexes 11:13 - How banks "broker cash" - Market demand determine loan rates. 15:49 - The volatility of rates and the importance of rate locks. 18:30 - Loan structure, importance over just looking at interest rate. 21:53 - Defining "loan structure", term length, interest-only periods, and loan amount. 23:09 - "Practice Pulse", offering post-loan support to new dental practice owners. 28:34 - Loan amounts, particularly in the context of practice valuations 37:53 - "Modified startups" or "Jumpstarts," allowing for financial flexibility. 40:28 - The challenges that come with owning a dental practice & profit margins 48:57 -Trend of practice "buy-ins" & an "incremental buy-in loan" for a structured transition.
Structure of a Loan vs. Interest Rate: The conversation shifts to the importance of a loan's structure. While rates are important, the podcast emphasizes that structure is even more critical for long-term success. Structure encompasses various loan features beyond the interest rate. Luke defines structure as "all the other stuff that really isn't your interest rate," including the length of the loan term, interest-only periods, and other supporting features.
Key Elements of Structure: Three key elements of structure: loan amount, length of the term, and interest-only periods (or graduated payment periods, especially relevant for startups). Michael Dinsio reiterates that rate is less important than these structural elements in ensuring the borrower's financial well-being.
Prioritizing Loan Features: Mike DInsio suggests the order of importance as: 1) Loan Amount 2) Length of Term 3) Interest Rate 4) Interest-Only Period
Luke agrees, adding the value of Huntington Bank's "Practice Pulse" program, which provides post-loan business support and consulting for up to two years. Luke explains the Practice Pulse program, a free service included with Huntington Bank's loans. Michael emphasizes the importance of thorough planning and utilizing available resources, such as Huntington's Practice Pulse program or consulting services, to navigate the challenges of practice ownership.
Cash Flow and Post-Acquisition Challenges: The conversation emphasizes the importance of sufficient cash flow after the acquisition. They discuss common post-acquisition challenges that require cash, including staff raises (almost a certainty), marketing expenses (often neglected by previous owners), and accounts receivable (AR) fluctuations, which can create a 90-day cash crunch.
Ownership vs. Associate Dentistry: Michael also reiterates that practice ownership generally offers greater financial potential than being an associate, even during the initial transition period.
YOUR SHOW HOST: Michael Dinsio is a dentist's buyer representative, helps dentists buy dental practices step-by-step through the acquisition process. With over a decade of experience and more than 500 dental transactions, Michael is a key opinion leader in the dental industry.

Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast: Building a Dental Team That Crushes It
07 Aug 2025
00:09:32
On this episode of Dental Unscripted, Michael and Paula delve into the crucial topic of team culture and its impact on a dental practice. They argue that a great culture is essential for combating burnout and stress, which have become increasingly common in the dental community.
The hosts break down the foundational elements of a thriving culture, beginning with core values. They emphasize that leaders must be clear about their values, as this provides the framework for holding team members accountable. The conversation also highlights the importance of setting clear and specific expectations, moving beyond vague job descriptions to measurable goals.
Michael and Paula address the necessity of tackling conflict head-on. They explain that a leader's ability to "lean into" difficult conversations can strengthen relationships and propel the practice forward. They underscore the importance of creating a safe environment where team members feel comfortable resolving issues without fear. The episode concludes with the powerful idea that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" , because even the best plans will fail without an aligned and engaged team.
