Winning the Dental Associate Game
Your retention of dentists could be better. OR…maybe you are retaining dentists you shouldn’t keep.
They aren’t performing as well as they should be. But is it them? The practice? Or you?
Your relationship with your dentists could be better…should be better. But it’s hard! Performance reviews can suck for both of you. And the truth it…you have other things you’d rather do.
Deep down inside, you know you didn’t deliver on some of your promises. The team might now be as good as you said. The systems aren’t what you promised. Or maybe you just don’t have time for the mentorship. You really want to deliver. There just isn’t enough time.
Do they even trust you in the first place? They might like you, respect you, and appreciate you…but sometimes its seems like they don’t totally trust you.
The struggles with your dentists become struggles with the rest of your team…and vice versa. You probably aren’t fully staffed, but which issue comes first…The dentists or the team?
Your ability to do true clinical oversight and quality control just isn’t there. It would be if you had more time…but would it even be your highest and best value?
About the time you are fully staffed on dentists…you get another "quit" notice. And the energy you must put into hiring new dentists takes away from the attention your existing dentists need. It’s a VICIOUS CYCLE.
There are a bunch of really important conversations you should be having with your dentists…but having those conversations is really risky. Sometimes, when you have difficult conversations, they subsequently leave.
You know that your growth depends on finding and retaining great dentists.
You don't need another webinar
You don't need another course.
You don't need a weekend program.
You need a system that works.
Customized to your business.
And you need it installed.
We build your customized system WITH YOU and your team.
Each month, you and your key team members (assistants, operations team, clinical support, whomever!) will attend our CLINICAL LEADERSHIP SUCCESS DAYS. These full day, live digital sessions will establish the WHY and the WHAT for each of our 6 key subject areas. We will make assignments and deadlines with your team to assure that 100% of the deliverables will be completed ON TIME. Every month, you'll have new systems INSTALLED and operational.
Between the monthly CLINICAL LEADERSHIP SUCCESS DAYS, you’ll also have direct access to Dr. Eric J. Roman and his coaches through monthly Q&A calls, focused support hours, the Clinical Leadership Corner (Dentists ONLY), and our online community with 24/7 access to all our recorded content and sessions.

Losing a dentist costs $30K-$100K per hire—in lost revenue, patient attrition, hiring fees, and wasted time. And if you try to build a retention system yourself? That’s $100K+ in lost time spent creating something from scratch. A high-level clinical director support community alone would cost you $20K+ per year—if you can even find one.
Instead, invest in Winning With Dental Associates and save time, money, and stress.
Every lost dentist costs you $30K-$100K—money you won’t get back..
Building this system yourself? Expect to lose $100K+ in time.
A support community like this would cost you $20K+ per year.
