By Heidi Mount – Dental Coach & Dental Business Growth Strategist
Are you ready to finally create the wealth, time freedom, and purpose-driven impact you deserve in your dental practice?
It starts with these 3 essential Bs:
- Beliefs
- Business Model
- Boldness
Let’s break them down—and I promise you; these will change the way you think, act, and profit in your dental business.
1. Your BELIEFS Create Your Ceiling
Dentists often tell me…
"I’m not in it for the money..."
"I just want to help people..."
"I’m not sure patients will pay more..."
Let me be clear—those beliefs are keeping you broke, burned out, or stuck.
You must BELIEVE that:
- Making more money is ethical, responsible, and achievable
- Money amplifies your purpose—it doesn’t corrupt it
- You can build a thriving dental practice without overworking yourself
- Profit and passion are not mutually exclusive
Change your beliefs, and you’ll change your outcomes.
This is the foundation of any transformation.
2. Your BUSINESS MODEL Is the Breakthrough or the Bottleneck
Most dentists are still stuck in the trap of:
Trading time for dollars.
Here’s what that looks like:
- You only earn when you're in the op
- Vacations = lost revenue
- Time off = guilt
- Growth = working more
That’s a broken model for a modern dental practice.
As a Dental Business Coach, I teach my clients how to shift out of survival mode and into a business model that scales with or without their constant chair time.
Imagine this:
- Recurring revenue from membership plans
- High-profit procedures scheduled intentionally
- Team-driven production that earns while you lead
- Productized services or online programs for other dentists or patients
The right business model means:
Profit without burnout
Freedom without sacrifice
Growth that’s sustainable
3. Your BOLDNESS Will Build the Wealth You Want
Want to be a standout dental practice?
You must be bold enough to stop blending in.
That means:
- Charging what you’re worth
- Communicating with conviction
- Standing out in your marketing, brand, and leadership
- Saying "no" to insurance limitations, toxic patients, or outdated systems
- Not waiting for permission to transform your practice
Being bold isn’t about being loud—it’s about being unforgettable.
In a world full of “average” dental offices, boldness is your competitive edge.
5 Ways to Make Your Passion Profitable
Let’s expand on how to turn your dental skills into a powerful, wealth-building machine:
1. Feel Worthy of Wealth
If you believe “contentment” is enough, you're short-changing yourself and your family.
Wealth is not greed—it’s your responsibility.
The more you make, the more you can serve, give, and lead.
2. Productize Your Passion
You are more than just a pair of hands.
Consider scalable models like:
- Subscription-based in office care plans
- On-demand courses for dental professionals
- Remote consults
- Hiring associates and specialists
- Paid speaking engagements
Recurring revenue is the game-changer dentists need.
3. Sell Like It’s Life or Death
I’ll be blunt: your dentistry won’t sell itself.
It’s up to YOU to:
- Be visible
- Build trust
- Communicate results
- Sell your VALUE, not just procedures
If you don't boldly sell your services, your passion won’t pay the bills.
4. Partner With a Business-Minded Expert
You became a dentist to help people—not to become an accountant, marketer, or operations director.
If you’re struggling to scale your practice, it’s time to:
Partner with a Dental Business Coach like me
Let me handle the business strategy so you can focus on what you love.
5. Scale = Freedom
Scaling isn’t complex—staying stuck is.
- Not being able to take time off?
- Not affording CE events?
- Not hiring because of low cash flow?
THAT’S what’s complex.
Scaling your dental business gives you options, peace, and power.
Final Word: Dentists, It’s Time To Stop Starving
Even if you’re not technically "starving"—if you’re settling for less than your potential, it’s time for a shift.
💥 You are not selfish for wanting more
💥 You are not greedy for building wealth
💥 You are not wrong for raising your fees or running your practice differently
In fact…
Staying small is the most selfish thing you can do.
Because your team, your family, your community—and YOU—deserve the best version of you.
So Here’s Your Call to Action:
- Upgrade your beliefs
- Rebuild your business model
- Be boldly unforgettable
- Partner with a Dental Business Coach (me!)
- Stop settling—start thriving
