“It’s not the equipment's fault that you're not more profitable on it. It's your fault because you're not delegating what needs to be delegated,” explains host Jon Harris. Today, Jon engages in an informative conversation with his colleagues Ragan Hartman and Jocelyn Jefferies. Together, they discuss the profitability of running a dental practice and the various elements involved.

Jon and the guests discuss the different facets of running a successful dental practice. Hiring staff, managing your team, and serving patients are all part of running a practice. However, if you jump too quickly to add more staff or purchase costly equipment that only depreciates, you may struggle to keep your practice afloat. By walking through all the costs and services required in the dental industry, Jon and the guests give valuable insight into meeting your business's demand while earning a profit.

Tune into this week’s episode of the Real Dental Podcast for a dynamic conversation on managing a dental practice. Learn more about dental practice valuations, the importance of delegating responsibilities, and determining the right time to hire more associates.
