Not just more money or more patients—but actual freedom in your dental practice. In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down why lack of systems is the biggest bottleneck keeping dental practice owners overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid. This episode is for the dentist who's already doing well—but knows there’s another level of growth and ease that feels totally out of reach. The answer isn't better staff. It's not more technology. It's building the right systems. 💡 In this episode, you’ll learn: 🛠️ Why no system = you becoming the system 📉 How chaos shows up daily when protocols are missing ✅ What makes a protocol effective, scalable, and actually used 👥 Why your team keeps coming to you for direction (and how to stop it) 📈 How systems unlock true growth—even when you’re not in the office 🧠 Why burnout, drama, and bottlenecks vanish with predictability ✨ Big Takeaways: • Protocols don’t eliminate problems—they reduce and predict them. • If your team can’t operate without you, you don’t have systems—you have assistants. • You don’t need to start over—just capture what’s working and simplify. • Growth without burnout requires predictability—and that comes from systems. 📝 Examples of High-Impact Systems: • Emergency appointment protocol • Pre-screening process for all new patients • Scheduling templates that protect production • Financial presentation scripts for case acceptance • Cancellation “rescue” systems that fill last-minute gaps fast 🧪 Real Results From SMDP: One doctor inside Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice cut their cancellation rate by over 10% in just 30 days with a simple schedule rescue system. ✅ Standardized confirmations ✅ ASAP patient lists ✅ Clear front desk templates ✅ Team incentives aligned to fill gaps quickly They stopped reacting—and started growing. 💬 Ask Yourself: • Where is chaos still showing up in your practice? • Is there a system for that? • Is it written down? • Is your team actually following it? If the answer is “no” to any of these… it’s time to fix that. 🎯 Ready to Build Real Systems That Set You Free?
