2385: Why Wisdom Teeth Are the Most Underrated Revenue Stream

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Brandon Chapek, a general dentist turned surgical powerhouse who's built a thriving, high-production practice centered around wisdom tooth extractions and IV sedation. Brandon shares his unique path from growing up on a farm to walking away from oral surgery residency, opting instead for a fellowship and a business model that prioritizes autonomy and lifestyle balance.

With over $3.5 million in personal production, Brandon dives into how he streamlined surgery protocols, scaled with PPO patients, and created an in-house system that now runs with surgical efficiency. He also introduces his new book, Wisdom Tooth Surgery for the General Dentist, packed with step-by-step guidance for GPs who want to add this lucrative skillset to their practice. Whether you're looking to stop referring out, expand your clinical scope, or just work smarter, this is a conversation full of actionable takeaways.
