SF Bay Area. Implants have fairly inelastic demand curves, so if you explain their value to patients correctly, they have no problem with higher fees.

Second that SF Bay Area is pretty saturated. I have clients in SoCal that do very well, however, it's a different market, I agree.

Yes - exploring this now. Although it would only save about $100-150 per guide.

GP's can pull those numbers too. Anyone can, really. My advice to you is to invest as much as possible. As an IC/employee, you may be earning a ton, but you're not growing owner equity. At your income level that ain't no biggie now, but something to consider, nonetheless.

Selling charts is the way to go for him. I expect he can get about $100K out of them if done correctly.

Those are some pretty conservative numbers man. Those numbers mean less than 2 crowns a day. IMHO, $2600 production per day is very far from the very successful land, especially as an owner.

Some of my clients have seen the "side gig" exodus of RDA's and DA's. DSO's aren't helping much, but I don't think they are as big of a threat as they are made out to me. Working for a DSO sucks in most cases, as the corporate management structure is pretty dysfunctional for most of them (trust...

Implant dentistry is a great addition to your revenue stream if you plan to do it regularly. Firstly, implants kits and motors/CBCT are what we refer to in business as sunk costs - something that you spend money on once, can amortize over time, and thus is not considered in the cost of doing...

Talk about your experience in preparation for the DAT and why you think the outlier (18 Bio) is not a true representation of your Bio knowledge (assuming that's the case).

If by research poster you mean you gave a poster presentation at a meeting and the abstract was published in the proceedings of the meeting, then you can place it under publications.

Counts as both. When you meet/organize events, you are not volunteering. However, whenever you are doing actual volunteer work w/ that club, that counts as that exactly.

Congrats on your success! 1) When to start scaling - I started expanding to multiple offices after 3 years of ownership of my first practice. Going from 300K to 1-1.5 mil in 12 months means you have lots of room to expand within your office. Before expanding, make sure your own practice is...

Study hard and take it. If score is good = you are set; If score is not good = you'll be exactly where you were thinking about being - taking it again, later.

better to overshoot than to come up short :)

Most practice loans don't have personal guarantee. They want to see what your production ability (production reports from at least a year of work). Post-COVID, though, this may change.
