Show Notes

In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that every dentist faces—how to manage your menu of services to maximize productivity and efficiency. I’ll share insights on when to expand or cut back on procedures, strategies for avoiding burnout, and the importance of flexibility in your offerings for long-term success. Additionally, I’ll break down how transitioning patients to associates can help free up your schedule for larger cases and explain why setting limits on certain procedures can actually boost your practice.

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.
