About this episode
Dr. Mark Costes discusses strategies for dental practice owners to maintain production when hygiene capacity is full and staffing is limited.
On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Addison Killeen and Ryan Gross to unpack what practice owners can do when hygiene is full, staffing is tight, and growth starts to stall. They explore how to shift marketing toward higher-value patients such as emergency, implant, sedation, and full-mouth reconstruction cases, while creating systems that keep doctor production strong even when hygiene becomes the bottleneck. The conversation also highlights insights from Addison’s new Complete Dental Hygiene Manual, including practical ways to optimize hygiene operations, navigate staffing shortages, and rethink growth strategy in today’s dental economy.
