Do you feel like your dental practice has hit an invisible ceiling, where no matter how hard you work, growth feels out of reach? Many dentists unknowingly operate in a cycle where their strategies, mindset, and daily habits keep them stuck.
In this episode, we break down the three major revenue ceilings in dentistry, the mindset shifts needed to push past them, and the five levers you can pull to unlock exponential growth. You’ll learn why scarcity thinking holds so many dentists back, how to grow without doubling your patient base, and why leadership—not just clinical skill—is the key to sustained success.

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.
