Show Notes

In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I dive into the challenges of dental partnerships and how to avoid conflicts that can hurt your practice. From my own experience, I share tips on setting clear expectations when starting a partnership or bringing on associates to prevent issues down the road. I also talk about the process of transitioning an associate into a partner and how to make sure the agreements are fair for everyone involved. 

 

Additionally, I explain how we handle lab bills in our Sarek office, where associates save on costs while maintaining quality. This episode is full of practical advice on keeping partnerships strong and transparent to help your practice thrive.

 

Be sure to join the conversation on the 3D Dentist App for even more great discussions!

Who is Dr. Sully Sullivan?

 

Dr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months.

 

As a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level. Dr. Sully lectures around the country on cone beam technology, cad/cam dentistry, obstructive sleep apnea, and practice management. He is also an ambassador for the 3D-Dentist teaching facility in Raleigh, NC.
