More marketing won’t fix a broken growth system.

If calls aren’t being answered, leads aren’t converting, patients aren’t showing up, or treatment isn’t being accepted, driving more leads to the practice only gets you so far.

The right numbers can show you where growth is getting stuck.

Comment GROWTH and we’ll help you identify where to focus next.

Simply raising hourly rates isn’t always the answer to keeping great hygienists.

The real question is: How do you create a compensation structure that gives your hygienists room to earn more while still making financial sense for the practice?

In Part 4 of The Dental Hygiene Crisis, Dr. Blake Hamblin and Gary Bird break down a performance-based compensation model, including how to set production thresholds, structure commission, calculate true effective hourly rates, and understand what turnover is really costing you.

You’ll also get the Hygiene Compensation Guide + two ready-to-use calculators to run the numbers for your own team.

Free series launches October 8th. Comment HYGIENE to get on the waitlist.

Great hygienists aren’t built by hiring better people. They’re built through better onboarding, coaching, and accountability.

Gary Bird, Dr. Blake Hamblin, and lead hygienist Autumn Bretscher reveal the hygiene onboarding and KPI framework they use to drive 90–95% reappointment rates, improve treatment acceptance, and strengthen long-term practice growth.

You’ll learn how to structure onboarding, track the KPIs that matter, use the Triangle System, and coach hygienists with role-playing, scorecards, and real-time feedback.

A full schedule doesn’t always mean your practice is growing.

Sometimes the biggest growth opportunities are hiding in the gaps between getting the phone to ring and getting the right patients scheduled, through the door, and into treatment.

In this free on-demand webinar, Gary Bird breaks down the system one practice used to go from 15–25 new patients a month to 50–75, including what was actually holding their growth back. SMC

Watch when it works for you and see where your practice could be leaving growth on the table.

Reappointment rate is the single metric that most predicts whether a dental practice is growing or not.

Most practices do not track it by individual hygienist. Most practices do not have a scripted process for it.
Both of those things are fixable.

Episode 5 of The Hygiene Crisis covers the exact scripting framework that took one 12-location, in-network practice from 65% to over 95% reappointment. Including word-for-word scripts for every moment in the conversation.
