1:30pm - 2:30pmT. Wade Coleman, J.D. - State of the Industry and the Future of Practice Transitions

The current state of the economy is precarious. Regardless of what the economic future
holds, the last 15 years has proven dentistry to be recession proof, pandemic proof, and
inflation proof. Over that same time period, practice transition options have undergone a
dramatic shift, with a significant number of practices currently in affiliated/ corporate
situations. However, the number of practice owners selling to DSOs compared to the
number that should be selling to DSOs is nowhere close. Like any transition alternative,
selling to an DSO is a great option for some, but not for everyone. For many doctors,
remaining in private practice may be the better option for a host of reasons. The key to
success is educating yourself on the options, and adapting accordingly. In this
presentation we will talk about trends in practice ownership, practice values, and
industry consolidation. Key objectives include:
Discuss the current trends in private practice ownership
Provide an update on practice valuations, in both private (doctor-to-doctor) sales
and DSO sales
Review recent market data and what it says about the state of the dental industry
and the future of practice transitions

9:00am - 10:30amLauren Andreas - From Chaos to Clarity: The Pediatric Dentist’s Roadmap to Leadership & Practice Success

You went to school to be a dentist—not a business owner—but here you are, thrown into the deep end of leadership, systems, and accountability. If you feel like you have been treading water, wondering if you’re missing some secret formula that other practices have figured out, this session is your life vest. You have heard you need SOPs, KPIs, and ROIs—everyone talks about them, but no one hands you the formula for it. In this session, we’re cutting through the business jargon and giving you real, practical tools to take control of your practice.

- We will take a look at your leadership style, uncover blind spots, and discover small but mighty shifts to inspire your team and boost your practice’s success.

- Accountability isn’t about micromanaging or playing the bad guy. Learn what it really means, how to set clear expectations, and create a culture where your team actually wants to follow through.

- Learn how to create processes that are simple, effective, and (most importantly) embraced by your team—so you can stop putting out fires and start running a smooth, thriving practice.
