The PAC Podcast
Navigating the Dental Business Landscape

The path to building a thriving dental practice worth millions isn't just about clinical excellence—it's about mastering fundamental business principles that many dentists overlook. In this riveting conversation with Kerry Straine, CEO of Straine Dental Management (an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company), we uncover the stark reality that only 4-5% of dentists are financially prepared for retirement despite generating substantial practice revenues.

Straine pulls back the curtain on dental practice valuation, revealing how modern DSOs and DPOs structure partnerships that can transform a dental practice into a valuable asset while providing immediate liquidity and long-term equity growth. For those wondering what makes a practice attractive to these organizations, he clearly defines the benchmarks: at least $1.5 million in annual revenue, strong hygiene systems with a minimum 2:1 hygienist-to-doctor ratio, and consistent patient care standards.

BONUS Episode - Hands-on Course Level 1, 2, 3: Overview and Patient Selection

Ever stared at a patient wondering how to transform their smile but hesitated because you weren't sure where to begin? You're not alone. The Pacific Aesthetic Continuum (PAC), powered by Corr Dental Laboratory, unlocks the secret to identifying and treating aesthetic cases that might be hiding in plain sight within your practice.

Dr. Michael Miyasaki reveals how most dentists mistakenly believe they don't have patients needing or wanting aesthetic work, when in reality, they simply haven't developed the trained eye to spot these opportunities. Through comprehensive live patient courses at three progressive levels, PAC equips dentists with systems to approach complex cases confidently, vision borrowed from instructors who've mastered comprehensive care, and encouragement from colleagues that transforms learning into action.

The course structure brilliantly addresses the anxieties many practitioners face when contemplating multi-unit cases. While most dentists feel comfortable with single-tooth treatment, PAC challenges participants to complete ten-unit cases during hands-on sessions. This experience fundamentally shifts perspective—as Dr. Miyasaki notes, "after taking my first live patient treatment course, nothing in dentistry was ever the same." Suddenly, all other dental procedures seem manageable by comparison.

Ready to transform your practice and discover the aesthetic goldmine within your existing patient base? Join the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum and experience the systems, vision, and encouragement that will change your career forever.

Beautiful Comprehensive Dentistry: The PAC's Evolution
Dental education is evolving rapidly, and the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum (PAC) is leading the way with innovative approaches tailored to today's dental practitioners. Dr. Michael Miyasaki and Garrett Caldwell, CEO of PAC and Corr Dental Laboratory, reveal how they've transformed their renowned live patient training program to meet the needs of modern dentists who often can't easily take time away from practice.

The cornerstone of this transformation is an affordable tuition model that creates a win-win scenario - patients receive extraordinary value on comprehensive aesthetic treatment while doctors gain invaluable hands-on experience with complex cases. This approach has proven wildly successful as the PAC rebuilds momentum following the pandemic pause, with course participants actively recruiting colleagues for future sessions.

"When doctors complete our program, they never see dentistry the same way again," explains Dr. Miyasaki. "They stop seeing individual teeth and start seeing comprehensive possibilities." This shift in perspective represents the fundamental value of PAC education - teaching dentists to deliver beautiful, functional restorations that address the entire stomatognathic system rather than isolated teeth.
The PAC is expanding geographically with courses in Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Chicago, while simultaneously developing what Caldwell describes as "disruptive" online education unlike typical webinars. This innovative approach aims to create an educational pathway that meets dentists where they are, removing barriers to advanced training while maintaining the hands-on experience essential for mastering comprehensive aesthetic dentistry.
Connect with the PAC community at www.thepac.org and discover why participants describe these courses as career-defining experiences that create lasting professional relationships built around excellence in patient care.

🦷 Bridges are an excellent option for those missing one or just a few teeth.
😄 Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural look of teeth, proper bite, jaw alignment, and more.

💸 Bridges are also often preferred due to their lower cost compared to dental implants.

📲 If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Dr. Spitzer would love to help you understand your options.
