If your dental marketing is “working” but your books are not filling, the problem is rarely the ads. We sit down with Dr Ravil Doshi, a dentist who built a highly successful practice and achieved a multi-seven figure exit, to get practical about what drives real growth in a UK dental practice: conversion, culture, and systems that do not collapse when one person is off sick.

We unpack why practice owners so often feel stuck after investing in SEO, pay-per-click, and social media ads, and how to build a patient journey where every team member knows what to say, when to say it, and how to move the patient forward. We also explore the idea of a communication stack, how to spot bottlenecks using simple KPIs, and where AI can already help by reviewing call quality and identifying missed opportunities.

Associates get plenty here too. We talk about the invisible “treatment plan wall” that caps earning potential, how to present comprehensive options ethically, and how to build trust so patients do not feel they are being sold to. Finally, we get into bigger-picture practice management: growth systems, the role of vision, when buying another practice is actually the right move, and what it takes to build an associate-led practice even with as few as three surgeries.

Your dental limited company can be brilliant for control and planning, but it can also leave you staring at a growing bank balance you cannot access without a hefty tax hit. We sit down with specialist dental accountant David Hossein to lay out the real-world options for extracting wealth tax efficiently, from the basics (salary, dividends, expenses) to the lesser-known moves that can make a meaningful difference over time.

We get specific on what HMRC typically accepts, what needs evidence, and what tends to cause trouble. That includes the £100,000 income cliff edge, how employer pension contributions can reduce corporation tax, and the practical checklist of allowable expenses many UK dentists miss. We also dig into the grey areas listeners always ask about: course travel, business meetings, employing family members, directors’ loans, trivial benefits, and why vouchers are not treated as “non-cash” in the way people assume.

If you are investing through companies or thinking about buying or selling a practice, this matters even more. We explain why property often sits in an SPV, how intercompany loans work, and the “trading company vs investment company” trap that can put Business Asset Disposal Relief (BADR) at risk. For principals, we outline planning ideas around share sales, holding companies, substantial shareholding exemption, and even how surplus cash might be treated on a sale when contracts are drafted correctly.

A cancelled appointment shouldn’t turn into dead time, and a tiny shadow on a radiograph shouldn’t become a missed diagnosis. That’s why we’re paying close attention to the practical side of AI in dentistry, not the hype. After walking the exhibitions and seeing what’s actually working, we break down the AI tools that can genuinely make a dental practice run smoother and safer.

We talk through AI receptionists and voice agents that integrate with practice management software via API connections, monitor your diary, and automatically call a waiting list to refill last-minute gaps, even running multiple calls at once. We also dig into the human side: why obvious AI can feel off-putting, where patients still want a real person, and why the likely future is AI that frees up your team rather than replaces them.

On the clinical front, we explore AI radiograph diagnosis and how tools such as Pearl-style systems can act as a consistent second set of eyes for caries detection, helping you move faster while staying clinically and medico-legally protected. Then we move into AI that listens to calls and provides coaching feedback, plus dental AI note-takers that draft structured records quickly, along with the non-negotiable safeguard: you must review for hallucinations, missed priorities, and audio errors before anything becomes part of the clinical notes.

If you want more of this thinking live, we also mention the Business of Dentistry event on 9 May at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham. Subscribe for more practical dentistry, money, and time-leverage conversations, share this with a colleague, and leave us a review with the AI tool you’re most curious to try.
