Revenue doesn't just disappear in a single dramatic event — most of the time, it leaks out quietly through gaps in systems, habits, and oversight that busy practice owners never have time to examine. In this episode, David Harris welcomes legendary dental practice management consultant Linda Miles to identify the four most common and costly ways dental practices lose money they never know they're losing.

Linda Miles has spent over 50 years helping dental practices reach their potential. Her observation, honed across thousands of practices, is that the same four structural weaknesses appear again and again — and that fixing them can transform a practice's financial performance without adding a single new patient.

Topics covered include:

• The four specific "leaky holes" draining revenue from most dental practices
• How poor scheduling habits cost practices tens of thousands of dollars per year
• The production and collection gaps that most dentists never measure
• Why undiagnosed or unpresented treatment is one of the biggest hidden revenue losses
• How front desk systems and patient communication affect your bottom line
• Practical, immediate steps to plug each revenue leak
• How embezzlement interacts with and hides behind these systemic weaknesses
