The Extraction Ep 25: Grow an A Team That Wins

About this episode

Kiera Dent discusses building a successful dental practice through leadership and accountability.

What does it really take to build a smarter dental practice? In this episode, Kyle Bergman and Dr. Sharon Bleiler sit down with Kiera Dent, CEO and founder of Dental A Team, to talk about leadership, accountability, systems, and the numbers that drive growth. Kiera shares how practices move from chaos to clarity by focusing on vision, consistency, and measurable performance. She breaks down her YES model, which starts with the doctor, then earnings, then systems and team development. The conversation also covers hygiene production benchmarks, leadership maturity, why A players want to work with A players, and how visible scoreboards can improve team accountability. You will also hear a real example of finding 800 reactivation patients in a practice with 1,900 active patients that needed 2,800. If you want practical advice on practice growth, team performance, and smarter operations, this episode delivers.
