  • 300. The Fastest Path to $500K a Year in Dentistry
    Mar 16 2026

    Want to know the fastest way to earn $500,000+ as a dental practice owner without working more hours?

    In this episode, Dr. Derek Williams from The Lifestyle Practice breaks down the exact math and strategy behind building a high-profit dental practice. Most dentists believe they need more patients, more marketing, or more technology to grow their income—but the truth is that the biggest breakthroughs come from fixing the core bottlenecks in your dental business.

    Learn how case acceptance, schedule productivity, dental practice leadership, and efficient overhead management can dramatically increase your production and profit. Dr. Williams explains how a practice collecting $1.25M annually with 60% overhead can generate $500K in income, and why ownership leverage is the key to financial freedom in dentistry.

  • 298. Dental Marketing Not Working? Here’s Why
    Mar 2 2026

    Why is your dental marketing not working, even though you're running ads, sending mailers, and spending money every month?

    In this episode of the Lifestyle Practice Podcast, Dr. Matt Vogt breaks down the real reasons dentists aren't getting new patients, why your dental practice isn't growing, and how internal systems—not just ads—determine your success.

    Most dentists think dental marketing means Facebook ads, Google Ads, or direct mail. But the truth is, your dental phone call conversion process, front desk training, scheduling systems, case presentation skills, and treatment acceptance strategy determine whether your marketing works or fails.

    If you’ve ever asked:

    • Why are my dental ads not working?

    • Why is my dental practice not growing?

    • How do I get more new patients in my dental clinic?

    • Why are patients not accepting treatment?

    • How do I improve dental case acceptance?

    This episode gives you the answers.
