Looking at your dental practice through the lens of a business owner transforms everything. Whether you're an associate or a principal, adopting this mindset means systematising processes, tracking meaningful metrics, and making decisions based on data rather than habit.

Rida ALwan joins us to share game-changing strategies that immediately boost profitability without sacrificing clinical quality. We break down the only three ways any business can increase profits: reducing costs, serving more customers, or increasing the value per customer interaction. With these fundamental principles as our guide, we explore practical applications specifically for dental professionals.

For associates, we reveal how tailoring appointment lengths precisely saves thousands in lost time annually, why creating note templates drastically improves efficiency, and how directly negotiating with labs (yes, even as an associate!) can secure preferential rates. The most transformative insight? Tracking your own KPIs gives you control over your professional destiny, allowing strategic decisions about continuing education investments based on real data.

Practice principals will discover how some dentists save up to £40,000 annually through utility contract renegotiation alone. We share a step-by-step approach to supplier negotiations that consistently yields 30-50% discounts, cutting-edge practice systems that eliminate reception costs entirely, and why scheduling regular time away from clinical duties specifically to work on business strategy delivers returns far exceeding patient treatment time.

The most successful dentists aren't necessarily the most clinically skilled—they're those who combine clinical excellence with business acumen. Listen now to compress years of expensive trial-and-error into actionable strategies you can implement immediately.

Looking to boost your dental practice's cash flow without increasing revenue? The secret might lie in restructuring your existing debt.

Finance expert Dan Fearon reveals the power of blended loans - an increasingly popular but still under-utilized financial tool that's helping practice owners dramatically reduce their monthly outgoings. While traditional practice financing typically separates goodwill and property loans, blended facilities combine multiple debts into a single, longer-term repayment structure.

The cash flow impact can be transformative. Dan shares a striking real-world example where one practice owner slashed their monthly repayments from £20,000 to just £7,000 through strategic debt restructuring. Though extending loan terms means paying more interest over time, the immediate financial flexibility allows practices to pursue growth opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach.

Beyond blended loans, we explore the evolving dental finance landscape, including innovative products like partial amortizing loans with interest rates starting from just 1%, extended terms for leasehold premises, and new market entrants offering up to 90% loan-to-value. With lenders actively competing for dental business, practice owners have more negotiating power than ever before.

We're also excited to announce our new free verifiable CPD offering for UK dentists. Simply listen to the episode, click the link in our description, complete a short questionnaire, and we'll email your certificate directly. Your podcast listening can now contribute toward your required CPD hours!
