Is Practice Ownership worth the stress?

 What's the most difficult thing you have to do as a practice owner?

Thinking about starting your own squat practice?

How long does it really take before you see profit, and what sacrifices do you need to make along the way?

In this episode, Jaz is joined by Dr. Shabnam Zai (  / drshabnamzai  ) to unpack the real highs and lows of running a dental practice. From the loss of control as an associate, to the resilience needed during COVID, to the challenges of leadership and managing a team—nothing is sugar-coated here.

They also tackle the big money question: when does a squat practice finally become profitable, and is it worth the grind in those first few years?

If you’ve ever wondered whether practice ownership is for you—or why it might not be—this episode will give you the clarity (and reality check) you need.

Protrusive Dental Pearl: “DO NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO WHAT YOU SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA”

Most cases shown online are the very best results, done under perfect conditions by clinicians with thousands of hours of experience.

Instead of letting that trigger self-doubt or imposter syndrome, use it as inspiration: respect it, aspire toward it, and occasionally achieve it — but remember that real-world dentistry is different.
