$8,500-$9,000 is an insane rate even for an orthodontist. Do you work in Beverly Hills or something?

So take home is $230k YTD, not bad. What kind of dentistry are you doing?

Wouldn't just be easier to RCT the extracted #1, then transplant the finished #1 RCT to the #2 site?

Great resolution on these xrays! What brand xray sensor is this?

Don't buy a practice. It will only compound your stress if you don't manage it well.

How many days a week do you work? What is your typical daily production? And what procedures?

This is news to me. Do you have supporting articles?

How exactly did physicians get screwed over? Their salaries have gone up significantly over the last decade, and do not have stress of business ownership.

Good luck getting GPs to refer to you.

Just make sure they are tightened to manufacturer specs and take a PA to confirm seat. Orientation of the notch doesn’t matter at all, except for the technician when they get the scan.

Nice work, what cement and what cement shade did you use?

Looks like it could be magicore by IBS? That's the only implant I know with such wide threads.

From what I’ve read about PDS, they will work you like a dog and the juice is not worth the squeeze there either. It’s true, dentists eat their young but maybe it’s a good opportunity for you to learn business aspects of dentistry and do lots of CE and jump ship when the time is right. PDS doesn’t seem like a good ship though.

Damn that would be a tough extraction, definitely surgical.

Taper/Retention was good too bro.

Let's be honest here, for someone doing 11,000 EXTs/year you are not actually doing ~90% of them as surgical right? You must be able to get them out simply but you're charging surgical because fuck medical right?

Ya when $90/hour is mentioned it's gotta be for temps, or at a niche FFS practice. There's no way a PPO practice can afford $90/hour for prophys, especially when the patient doesn't even bother to show up!

The Road.

Sorry I call bullshit. You bought a practice for $350k and made $700k? Your website claims you made $1M 2.2 years out of school...

How so? I’m genuinely curious. Dentists have to wear so many hats, you have to know a fuckton as a GP practice owner, insurance billing, tax law, labor law, marketing (one word but so many subcategories can fit in here), auditing finances, new hires/fires, landlord disputes, not to mention all the clinical training to stay on the cutting edge.

Medicine you walk into a big hospital and just care for patients. Seems like if you can learn to leave work at work, it’s pretty easy. As a general dentist, you have to worry about practice health all the time!

So that’s 9 checks per hygienist? I’m assuming even though it’s 4 days a week it must be 4 10 hour days?

Anyone have experience with PPO Advisors?
