The Next Level Practice

How Dental Owners Build, Scale, and Sustain Growth

8:00 – 9:00 PM EST

Complimentary to attend

Growing a dental practice takes more than adding patients — or locations. It requires stronger systems, capable leaders, and a clear shift from working primarily as a dentist to leading as a CEO. In this live panel, experienced dental leaders share how owners can overcome the challenges of scaling, build consistent teams and operations, protect the quality of patient care, and make the decisions that support sustainable long-term growth.

Two Leaders Who've Built at Scale

Panelist 01 Gabriel Hofmann

Gabriel Hofmann

CEO & Practice Partner · The Dental Efficiency Guy

Gabriel Hofmann spent nearly two decades inside multi-location dental groups and DSOs, and today goes by a name that says exactly what he does: The Dental Efficiency Guy. Through his consulting firm he partners with private practices and small groups that feel stuck — where the business is running them — and helps them rebuild culture, leadership and accountability, and build teams for sustainable growth. He is a speaker, a contributing author in The Dental Exit Blueprint, author of The Dental Efficiency Playbook, and host of The Dental Efficiency Playbook podcast. His mission is personal: he built his life and his business in the trenches, and believes that's exactly the point — crafted in fire, not in spite of it.

Panelist 02 Dr. Sara Mahmood

Dr. Sara Mahmood, DDS, MS, MAGD

Founder & CEO · brush365

Dr. Sara Mahmood is the founder and owner of brush365, a six-location dental group in the Dallas–Fort Worth area built from the ground up without outside investors. She also serves as CEO of ZENITH Injury Relief & Wellness, a three-location chiropractic group she co-leads with her husband. Dr. Sara holds a Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry — an honor held by fewer than 2% of dentists — along with an MBA in Healthcare Management and a certificate from the Harvard Medical School Surgical Leadership Program. She is a Global Clinical Partner for SureSmile (Dentsply Sirona) and a Philips Oral Health Brand Ambassador and North American Advisory Board Member. She speaks internationally on dental leadership and practice growth, with a focus on building teams and systems that scale without sacrificing patient care.

What We'll Cover

Five Decisions That Drive Growth

The biggest challenges owners face when moving beyond a single practice

Capital, people, time and attention all get stretched at once — what breaks first, and how experienced owners get ahead of it.

→

Building systems that support growth without losing quality of care

The operational backbone — protocols, checklists and metrics — that keeps every chair delivering the same standard as your first one.

→

Moving from dentist to CEO: developing leadership skills

The mindset and skill shift from producing in the operatory to leading the business — and how to make it without losing your clinical identity.

→

Creating strong teams and operational consistency across locations

Hiring, training and accountability that give patients the same experience whichever door they walk through.

→

The decisions that separate growing practices from stagnant ones

The calls on people, money and timing that compound over years — and the ones owners most often get wrong.

→

Don't miss it

One hour. The shift from dentist to CEO.
