Welcome to Episode 001 of Big Dental Energy — your weekly shot of nitrous for the business side of dentistry.

I’m Dr. William Gray, DMD | MD | MBA | FACS (and yes, I think Airtable dashboards are as gorgeous as a perfect running stitch).

In this high‑torque debut we rip the rubber dam off five topics every implant‑minded doc needs today:

Full‑Arch Files – “AOX Like a Boss”3‑tier fee ladder that preserves your margin & your sleep.

Chair‑Side Debates – DSO Donnie vs Solo SteveHybrid equity model that drops burnout risk 41 %.

Practice Power‑Up – 2‑Minute Vitals FixMacro + pulse‑ox cuts start delays 7 min per case.

Market Like a Doctor – “Beauty Nap” BundleBundle IV sedation with Botox for 967 % margin lift.

Billing & Coding Corner – Socket‑Graft Stack50‑word narrative that slashes denials from 27 % to 4 %.

Plus: HR hacks, neon‑bright dad jokes, AI bot “Archie” crunching real‑time stats, and a quick dive into passive‑income plays (Meineke? Yes—if it cash‑flows while you lecture in Cabo).

Listen, learn, then pause for three seconds at your next consult—conversion rates go up 27 %.
