The honest playbook for running a dental practice. Ash Toub has owned and operated hundreds of dental practices, overseen hundreds of millions in production, and worked with 500+ providers. Each week he breaks down one pillar of building, running, or scaling a practice — revenue cycle, front office, clinical ops, marketing, facilities, leadership, and everything in between. No fluff. Real numbers, real lessons, real fights. If you own a practice, want to, or work inside one, this is the show that tells you what they never taught you in dental school.Ash Toub Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

    The Pillars Of A Healthy Dental Practice
    Jun 5 2026

    Welcome to the Smile Pulse Podcast, a show about running dental practices that actually work.


    Host Ash Toub has spent his career inside dental practices, from single locations to multi-location groups, and he's seen what holds practices up and what tears them down.


    This first episode is the map. Before Ash goes deep on any one piece of the business, he lays out the 11 pillars that hold a dental practice together. Five of them carry the most weight (People, Data, Infrastructure, Revenue Cycle, Marketing) and Ash opens the show with those, then expands into all 11.


    The 11 pillars:

    1. Revenue Cycle

    2. Front Office

    3. Clinical Operations

    4. Team and HR

    5. Marketing

    6. Finance and Data

    7. Compliance

    8. Technology / IT

    9. Facilities

    10. Vendors

    11. Leadership


    Future episodes go one-by-one on each pillar. If you're a dental student, an associate thinking about ownership, a solo owner, or a group operator trying to grow, this is your starting point.
