Why We Built Bonded… And What This Podcast Will Do For Your Career
Most dental podcasts talk about dentistry. We built one to help you day to day. In this first episode, we break down exactly what the Bonded Dental App is, why we created it, and how it’s changing the way dentists, hygienists, assistants, front office teams, and practice owners connect with jobs and talent. No middlemen. No guessing. No outdated listings. Just transparent matching that actually works. Then we outline the three episode types you’ll get every week: Short, actionable breakdowns you can implement the same day hiring, job hunting, compensation, practice buying, practice selling, negotiation, leadership, and more. No theory. Only moves that improve your income or your quality of life. We evaluate real practices, real job offers, and real opportunities submitted by our audience. We show you how to spot red flags, identify upside, and calculate whether it’s a career-maker or a career-wrecker. We interview practice owners, DSOs, and teams who are doing things differently. They share what’s working, what’s broken, and what they wish every dentist or team member understood before joining a practice. If you’re in dentistry and want to make smarter decisions, earn more, avoid bad opportunities, and find the right practice or the right people this podcast is built for you.

This One Tool Can Make You 150K or More In Your Dental Practice.
Practice Deal Score Calculator: https://main-bonded-practice-score-135248227012.us-west1.run.app/ Most dentists buy a practice the same way people buy houses. Emotion first, math second. That is how they overpay, get stuck in low profit offices, or walk into a ticking time bomb of overhead, staffing, or demand problems. So we built a solution. The Bonded Practice Scorecard. A simple, brutally honest calculator that tells you if a practice is a winner, a risk, or a walk away now situation. In this episode, I break down: What the Practice Scorecard Is A valuation shortcut that distills revenue, EBITDA, overhead, operations, doctor compensation, and risk factors into one score and a realistic value estimate. No brokers. No sales pitch. No fluffy multipliers. Just numbers, score, and conclusion. Why It Matters Whether you are buying, selling, or trying to understand how your practice performs, this tool helps you identify financial strengths and weaknesses. It shows where money is leaking. It reveals profit opportunities. It gives you leverage in negotiations. It protects buyers from bad deals. It gives sellers a roadmap to increase practice value. Dentists lose hundreds of thousands of dollars simply because they do not know what to look for. This fixes that. How to Use It I walk through every field in the calculator, explain how the scoring works, and show you how to interpret the output. Then I plug in a realistic example so you can see exactly how fast and easy it is to determine whether a practice is worth pursuing. Who This Is For Dentists looking to buy a practice. Owners wanting to increase practice value. Associates deciding whether to acquire the office they work in. Anyone who wants a real, math based valuation instead of guesswork. If practice ownership is in your future, this tool will save you from expensive mistakes and help you move toward deals that increase your income, freedom, and long term wealth.

Hiring a Hygienist or Assistant Could Be Costing You 10,000 to 40,000 Dollars. Here Is How to Know.
Bonded Talent CAC Calculator: https://main-talent-cac-calculator-dental-135248227012.us-west1.run.app/ Most dental offices guess what it costs to hire someone. That guess is wrong. In reality, the true cost to acquire talent is usually two to five times higher than what owners think. Between job board fees, agency fees, lost production, open chair time, onboarding, and turnover, the total cost can reach tens of thousands of dollars before the right person even walks in the door. So we built the Cost to Acquire Talent Calculator. A simple tool that shows you the full financial impact of hiring a hygienist, assistant, front desk team member, or associate. No guessing. No hidden math. Just inputs, real numbers, and a final cost that reflects the true investment of hiring. In this episode, I break down: What the Cost to Acquire Talent Calculator Is A clear financial model that calculates your real hiring cost by adding acquisition costs, onboarding time, lost productivity, and turnover risk. Why It Matters Owners routinely underestimate hiring costs. They think it is a few hundred dollars in job ads. In reality, the number is often ten thousand to forty thousand dollars when factoring in: Posting and advertising fees Time spent reviewing candidates Lost production from open roles Ramp up time Training Early turnover This calculator exposes the real number so you can make better decisions and improve retention. How to Use It I walk through each input and explain how the calculator builds the final cost. Then I run a full example so you can see exactly how quickly the total can rise and how the tool highlights your most expensive bottlenecks. Who This Helps Practice owners trying to control overhead Office managers who handle hiring Associates thinking about starting or buying a practice Any dental professional who wants to understand the true financial impact of staffing decisions Knowing your cost to acquire talent helps you: Budget accurately Hire more strategically Improve retention Understand the ROI of your team Protect profitability If you want a clearer, more predictable business, it starts with knowing what every hire actually costs you.
