In this episode of the Millennial Dentist Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that's crucial for every dental practice—how to balance your schedule in a way that maintains consistent production, even when the economy isn't on your side. I’ll be talking about why it's so important to set both minimum and maximum production goals to keep things stable and avoid the rollercoaster of fluctuating income from month to month.
I'll also share some of the challenges we face as dentists when the supply of our services starts to outpace demand. This is something I’ve experienced personally, and I’ll walk you through some strategies for managing practice expenses while keeping your goals in check. I’m not a fan of traditional goal-setting methods that give you just one target to aim for—so, in this episode, I’ll explain a more strategic approach that helps you grow your business while also leveling up your skills.

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.
