Every January, something interesting happens. Dentists tell me, “This year is going to be different.”
But the truth?
Most practices go into the new year with the same systems, the same patterns, and the same bottlenecks that held them back the previous year.
This is why so many dentists work hard, stay busy, hit good months and bad months, and still can’t predict their growth.
That’s exactly why I wrote Dental Growth Machine, and why I’m encouraging every dentist, whether you attended the summit or not, to get the free preview book and start building a growth foundation for 2026.

Now that our first summit of the year is behind us, I want to talk about the themes that came up over and over again, and how this all ties back to the system outlined in the book.
Theme #1: Dentists Are Tired of Guessing
One of the comments I heard repeatedly after the summit was: “I’m tired of not knowing which lever to pull.”
This is a common frustration, and it’s completely understandable.
Most dentists are drowning in data but starving for structure:
The Dental Growth Machine exists to answer those questions.
It gives you:
No more guessing. No more “trying everything.” No more overwhelming chaos.
Theme #2: High-Value Cases Are the Difference Between Growth and Exhaustion
At the summit, when dentists heard Dr. Chris Phelps break down the psychology of influence and case acceptance, something clicked for many of them.
High-value case acceptance isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It’s the engine of profitability, predictability, and stability.
Inside Dental Growth Machine, I talk about how:
Because when high-value dentistry becomes predictable, your practice transforms:
And yes, that last one matters more than most dentists realize.
Theme #3: Systems Matter More Than Motivation
One of the most important messages of the summit was this:
You don’t rise to the level of your intentions. You fall to the level of your systems.
If your practice is still dependent on:
Then growth will always feel inconsistent.
Inside Dental Growth Machine, we go deep into:
It’s the difference between working in your practice and leading it.
Theme #4: Exit Value Is Built Long Before You Ever Sell
Dentists were shocked when Stan Kinder explained how buyers evaluate a practice.
Revenue matters…
Profit matters…
But the thing buyers value most?
Predictability.
Buyers want:
This is why the Dental Growth Machine is not just a growth framework, it’s a growth AND exit strategy.
Even if your exit is years away, the decisions you make right now directly influence your future valuation.
