Show Notes

Today’s episode is about managing the weight of responsibility in running a practice. Feeling overwhelmed is normal, and I share my experiences handling stress. This past week has been exhausting, juggling work, coaching, and personal challenges. Leadership can feel isolating, and therapy has helped me separate accountability from guilt. Prioritizing tasks and embracing support systems are key to managing stress. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Thanks for tuning in! Next episode will be more upbeat. Until then, work smarter, not harder.

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.
