Increasing your Speed and Production with Aaron Nicholas

If your days feel packed but the numbers still disappoint, the problem might not be your schedule at all. We dig into the real culprit behind low dollars per hour in a dental practice: clinical inefficiency that leaks minutes through slow procedures, inconsistent operatory setups, and avoidable delays that quietly snowball into a train-wreck afternoon.

I’m joined by Dr Aaron Nicholas to get practical about what actually moves the needle. We talk about why “fast” and “high quality” are not opposites, and how efficiency becomes a learnable skill when you measure it. You’ll hear simple training ideas like timing burr-on to burr-off for crown preps, using repetition to compress learning, and building the confidence to complete the right dentistry in fewer visits without burning out you or your patients. If you care about dental practice management, production per hour, and smoother clinical workflows, this conversation is built for you.

We also get tactical with team systems that immediately reduce chair time waste: standardised room setups with photos, checklists, and life-size templates; procedure carts for complex disciplines; and a clear anesthesia protocol that prevents “wait and hope” from stealing half an appointment. On the hygiene side, we cover how to get in, connect with the patient, diagnose with intraoral camera photos, and get back to your schedule without feeling rushed, plus why filming yourself can reveal inefficiencies you’ve never noticed.

If you want a calmer day, stronger dental productivity, and a practice that runs on repeatable habits, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review so more dentists can find the show.
