DBM: Hiring Specialists Versus Upskilling

The Dental Practice Heroes Podcast

Ever considered the complex dance of decision-making that comes with expanding a dental practice? Justin and I tackle this very subject, peeling back the layers on whether hiring specialists is a smart move or if it’s more strategic to invest in the talents of general practitioners. Together, we examine the potential perks and pitfalls—from navigating the financial landscape to ensuring the move matches patient demand. It’s a compelling discussion that bridges the gap between cost and culture, where we weigh the advantages of in-house procedures against the necessity of external expertise.
This episode isn’t just about the current state of affairs; it's a candid look into the future of dental education. Here, I open up about embracing the uncomfortable feeling of being a student again, confronting the rapid advances in technology that are reshaping our profession. We debate how learning curves, like integrating the Nexus IOS system and pursuing orthodontic courses, can revolutionize a practice. Join us for a journey that promises both professional growth and an honest reflection on the challenges we face in keeping our skills as sharp as our dental tools.
