Buried in debt. No roadmap. No business education. Sound familiar?
Dr. Jonathan Theis was once just like many clinicians—great in the chair, lost in the business. But instead of burning out or selling out to corporate dentistry, he built something different: a full arch dental empire, exited it successfully, and then turned around to help private practice doctors do the same without losing their independence.
In this episode, you’ll learn how Dr. Theis grew a multi-location DSO, led a PE-backed scaleout, and then pivoted into running the Full Arch Buying Group and Smile Score Solutions. We talk about the pitfalls of marketing, why most doctors fail at patient acquisition, and what it really takes to succeed in today’s competitive dental implant market.
Why This Matters to You
Tired of throwing money at marketing agencies without seeing results? You’re not alone. Dr. Theis reveals why so many dentists struggle with growth: they don’t understand the business side, and worse, they don’t know how to fix it.
You’ve invested thousands in learning full arch procedures. But without the right vendor contracts, systems, or sales training, that knowledge doesn’t translate to a thriving practice.
Patients are getting declined for financing left and right. What do you offer when the consultation ends in “I can’t afford it”? Dr. Theis created a branded credit repair course you can give away free to help patients return with financing in hand.
If you’re serious about competing with corporates while staying independent, this episode shows you how to tap into community, training, and AI-backed systems that help you scale with confidence.
Actionable Advice
Dr. Jonathan Theis started as a wet-handed dentist. He partnered with colleagues to form a DSO, then became VP of Operations for a PE-backed dental group overseeing nine locations. After exiting, he launched the Full Arch Buying Group and Smile Score Solutions to empower private doctors with tools and strategies to compete with corporates without giving up autonomy.
