Let’s talk about freedom.
Not just more money or more patients—but actual freedom in your dental practice.
In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down why lack of systems is the biggest bottleneck keeping dental practice owners overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid.
This episode is for the dentist who's already doing well—but knows there’s another level of growth and ease that feels totally out of reach. The answer isn't better staff. It's not more technology. It's building the right systems.
 
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
🛠️ Why no system = you becoming the system
📉 How chaos shows up daily when protocols are missing
✅ What makes a protocol effective, scalable, and actually used
👥 Why your team keeps coming to you for direction (and how to stop it)
📈 How systems unlock true growth—even when you’re not in the office
🧠 Why burnout, drama, and bottlenecks vanish with predictability
 
✨ Big Takeaways:
•	Protocols don’t eliminate problems—they reduce and predict them.
•	If your team can’t operate without you, you don’t have systems—you have assistants.
•	You don’t need to start over—just capture what’s working and simplify.
•	Growth without burnout requires predictability—and that comes from systems.
 
📝 Examples of High-Impact Systems:
•	Emergency appointment protocol
•	Pre-screening process for all new patients
•	Scheduling templates that protect production
•	Financial presentation scripts for case acceptance
•	Cancellation “rescue” systems that fill last-minute gaps fast
 
🧪 Real Results From SMDP:
One doctor inside Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice cut their cancellation rate by over 10% in just 30 days with a simple schedule rescue system.
✅ Standardized confirmations
✅ ASAP patient lists
✅ Clear front desk templates
✅ Team incentives aligned to fill gaps quickly
They stopped reacting—and started growing.
 
💬 Ask Yourself:
•	Where is chaos still showing up in your practice?
•	Is there a system for that?
•	Is it written down?
•	Is your team actually following it?
If the answer is “no” to any of these… it’s time to fix that.

👋 Episode Overview:
Dr. Yazdan kicks off this episode with a personal moment — celebrating her daughter’s 6th birthday in a more intentional and low-key way. It’s a perfect segue into today’s topic: slowing down to scale smarter — by building the right systems inside your dental practice.
In this episode, you’ll learn the four core systems that high-profit dental practices all have in place — systems that drive clarity, increase case acceptance, and remove friction so your practice can grow without requiring more hustle from you.
Whether you're just starting out or you’ve been running your practice for years, this is a must-listen episode to transform how your business operates day-to-day.
 
🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
💡 1. Patient Flow Systems
•	Why patient flow isn’t just about where patients go — it’s about how they decide.
•	The 3 key questions every patient interaction should answer.
•	How bottlenecks like insurance verification and checkout delays sabotage growth.
•	How to train your team to guide patients toward “yes” at every touchpoint.
💰 2. Financial Tracking Systems
•	Go beyond production and collections: track the story of your money.
•	Real-life example of a practice unknowingly over-relying on hygiene.
•	How to use data to diagnose issues like low case acceptance or lack of new patients.
•	The 3 questions your financial reports should answer every month.
🧾 3. Team Accountability Systems
•	Why accountability is not micromanagement.
•	How to use role-specific scorecards to track performance.
•	Examples of measurable outcomes for team roles.
•	How “self-policing accountability” boosts ownership and performance.
📣 4. Marketing Systems
•	Why running ads alone isn’t a strategy — it’s gambling.
•	The 3 pillars of a real marketing system:
1.	Internal marketing
2.	External marketing
3.	Follow-up marketing
•	How high-profit practices convert leads into long-term patients through education and automation.
 
📝 Episode Highlights:
•	"High-profit practices don’t make money by accident. They measure the right things, consistently."
•	"Marketing isn’t just about leads — it’s about building trust, nurturing relationships, and guiding patients to say yes."
•	"Accountability should be baked into your systems, not your personality."
 
✅ Episode Takeaway:
Choose one system from today’s episode and ask yourself:
“What’s one change I can make this week to bring more clarity, consistency, and profitability into my practice?”
Start small — but start intentionally.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Most practice owners think profitability issues come from one big problem… but often, it’s a handful of small, consistent inefficiencies silently draining revenue.
In this episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down the three most common profit leaks she sees in dental offices — and how to fix them fast.
 
💸 The 3 Biggest Profit Leaks in Dental Practices:
1. Time on Your Schedule
•	One lost hour per day = $12,000/month down the drain (or more!)
•	🔧 Solutions:
o	Confirmation protocols that build commitment, not just reminders
o	Intentional short-notice lists to quickly fill last-minute openings
o	Strategic block scheduling to prioritize high-value procedures during prime hours
•	🎧 Listen to related episodes on scheduling for deeper strategies.
 
2. Unaccepted Treatment
•	If you're diagnosing $100k/month and only scheduling 40%, you’re leaking $60k.
•	🔧 Solutions:
o	Boost same-day treatment acceptance (target: 70–80%)
o	Clearly communicate financing options to reduce hesitation
o	Build strong follow-up systems: automated emails, texts, and personal calls
o	Assign team members to own follow-ups — this is a game changer
 
3. Overhead & Inventory
•	Are your cabinets full of expired supplies? Or are you paying for unused software?
•	🔧 Solutions:
o	Designate an “inventory manager” to monitor usage and control ordering
o	Perform quarterly audits of subscriptions and software
o	Renegotiate vendor contracts annually — don’t pay retail if you don’t have to
 
🛠 Action Step of the Week:
Choose ONE area:
•	🗓 Scheduling
•	🦷 Treatment follow-up
•	📦 Overhead
Audit it. Find the leak. Implement one simple system to stop it.
This is the fastest way to increase profitability — without more patients, more hours, or more stress.

Hello Dentists, and Happy December! As we approach the end of the year, today’s episode is here to give you a powerful mindset shift that could change how you lead your practice moving forward.
Whether you hit your 2025 goals or not, this is a message you need to hear:
Being “ready” is a myth.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4-stage success cycle that every thriving practice owner goes through:
Start → Suck → Learn → Get Better.
You’ll hear how this applies to everything from implementing new systems with your team, to finally stepping into leadership, to just doing the uncomfortable things you’ve been putting off — like assessments, meetings, or setting expectations.
Because let’s be honest… the perfect time doesn’t exist.
You don’t need more reviews to start marketing.
You don’t need a flawless team to lead better.
You don’t need to wait until January to start making real change.
You just need to start — messy, uncomfortable, and real.
✨ Progress > Perfection.
 
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
•	Why “being ready” is a mental roadblock, not a real one
•	The exact 4-step framework every successful dentist follows to grow
•	How to push past team resistance and leadership discomfort
•	Why starting now — even imperfectly — is the most strategic move you can make
•	Real-life examples from my own journey as a practice owner
•	Simple, powerful action steps you can take THIS WEEK to move forward
 
🛠️ Episode Challenge:
Choose one thing you’ve been putting off in your practice because you “weren’t ready” — and take imperfect actionon it this week.
Start the weekly meeting.
Hold that huddle.
Implement the system.
Launch the marketing.

🚫 No more waiting.
✅ Just starting.
