Dana Speaks Dental

So excited to be presenting the Wharton certifications as well as presenting with my friend, Lois Banta, at American Association of Dental Office Management - AADOM this week!

One of the things I hear often from practice owners and office managers is this:

“I came home from a great conference with so many ideas, but I couldn't get the rest of my team on board.”

I understand the frustration.

You attend a conference, take pages of notes, get excited about what your practice could do differently, and then Monday comes around. The schedule takes over, old habits return, and those ideas start getting pushed further down the list.

This is one of the reasons we created COLLABricon.

I don't want you to come to Nashville alone.

Bring your dentists. Bring your hygienists. Bring your assistants. Bring your front office team.

When everyone is in the room hearing the same ideas and having the same conversations, you don't have to go home and explain everything you learned. You can start talking about how you're going to put those ideas into practice together.

If you're serious about making 2027 a stronger year for your practice, start the conversation now.

I'd love to see you and your team in Nashville, Tennessee this November 6–7, 2026

Culture is the sum of how your team communicates every day, how feedback is given, how conflict is handled, how every person in the practice is made to feel about the role they play.

Here's something most dental practice owners already know but rarely say out loud:
The biggest obstacle to a thriving practice isn't clinical skill.

It's the silos. The miscommunication. The front desk and the back office speaking different languages. A team that works hard but not together.

We've seen it. We've lived it. And we built COLLABricon to change it.
