“Before Team Training Institute, my mindset wasn’t very good,” Dr. Palmer said. “I thought because I was in a small town that I would never find anybody to sell the practice to. My plan was to work as long as I could, put away as much money as possible, and, at some point, I’m literally going to walk out the door, lock it, and throw the keys in the bushes...
“I took a leap of faith that we were going to double our hygiene production and that’s exactly what we did. It was amazing–like no sweat off my brow at all.”

"Last year, I doubled my profit from 2022, and this year (2024), I’ve almost produced what I did in 2023 in total, and it’s only May!"
"What’s interesting is my girlfriends have all retired from dentistry, and I’m feeling like, WOW, I’m finally able to do what I want to do. I’m making a difference in how we’re taking care of patients and making a difference in how I can pay the staff what they are worth."

“None of the hygienists got their degree from the same place, so it’s easy to have them running in a bunch of different directions. With the TTI system, everyone is working towards the same goal so it doesn’t matter who the patients see. This provides tiger-proofing because we know if a hygienist is gone, the patient is going to be taken care of the same way.”
Today Dr. Lester has a business partner, 11 operatories, 26 team members, and his production is $5 million. He's now at 32% profitability, and says he’s a better dentist with more freedom.

"Within the first two months of joining TTI, you could feel a shift in energy. The office just has a hum and busyness to it. People are excited to work here. We’re a patient-centered office. There are no egos."
“The risk assessment is such a powerful tool. The hygienists weren’t really aware before and now that we do the risk assessment, look at the grooves and the sensitivity and root exposure... their awareness was a one and now their awareness is a ten. And adding the production-based pay scale elevated their engagement. Then seeing how they are helping their patients more, makes them even more motivated. The TTI program paid for itself a month later, to be honest with you.”

"Where I’ve seen the biggest change is hygiene, hands down. Big, big change. My hygiene department is killing it. They perform like there is no tomorrow. Every patient talks about what an amazing experience they had coming to the practice."
"Everyone in my office feels comfortable talking about sealants on adult teeth. Even though none of the insurances cover sealants for adults, we had a $60,000 increase in hygiene revenue from adult sealants in the last five months.”
Dr. Anantuni grew the practice 100% and became the #1 Invisalign provider in the state.

“After the Perio Explosion training, things have gotten A LOT better. I took all the notes from the training and documented the whole system. How they should be doing things, the five steps... it’s all there. My hygienists are talking to the patients that have gum disease about these other systemic health links. They’re linking it back to why it’s important because it’s not just about teeth anymore. We are seeing a lot more people accepting their periodontal treatment.”
"It makes you feel good about yourself and at the end of the day, it makes your employees feel good."
"The whole vibe in the office is a lot better than it was eleven months ago because we’re all energized by the difference we are making to our patients compared to before. We took our patient care up to a whole new level. We’re a lot more profitable and I’m having a lot more fun than I ever had practicing in my life.”

"I am a systematic person. I like procedures that provide consistency because you must be able to predict in this business. To have a hygiene system that got my team on the same page and tell them this is our protocol, this is what we are doing now, that was just phenomenal... They have a tool for everything!"
"TTI is also great at showing me what benchmarks I need to worry about. There are so many numbers to sift through in a practice, but they show the ones that really matter.”

“The Team Training Institute was instrumental in giving us the scientific data behind treatment to show us that yes, this really is a great standard of care that we’re recommending. It’s not frivolous treatment for the patient. It’s a very high standard, and we ought to feel good about that. It provided extra clarity in terms of how we can refine, improve our standard of care, and do so ethically, in a way that benefits both the practice and the patients."
"My identity changed from being just a dentist to a leader. It’s extremely gratifying to see people on your team growing that’s in part because of your impact as a professional and as a leader. To see people under you, not just doing the everyday tasks, but actually growing, getting better, enjoying the process, and feeling like they’re going somewhere with their career – it’s energizing.”
“I had to leave town for a couple of days on an emergency basis. Low and behold, the office ran just fine in my absence. That was a WOW moment for me."
