Most dental practices aren't struggling because they need more patients. They're struggling because they've layered on complexity, exceptions, and systems they don't understand – and called it growth.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Howard Farran, founder of Dentaltown, longtime practice owner, and author of Uncomplicate Business. With nearly four decades in dentistry and a reputation for telling dentists what no one else will, Howard shares why chaos isn't the price of growth… it's the result of building without a prototype. From AI's coming disruption of practice management software, to the hidden math behind PPO losses, this conversation challenges everything you think you know about running a profitable practice.

Whether you're a solo dentist grinding through a packed schedule while barely clearing payroll, or a multi-location operator wondering why scaling made everything harder, Howard's message is the same: stop adding and start subtracting. Fix the prototype before you multiply the problem.

Tune in to discover why growth magnifies chaos that already existed, how to apply the five-year-old test to every system in your office, and what a stripped-down model reveals about the most profitable version of dentistry.
