Alex Sharp, CEO of Shared Practices Group, exposes the hidden cause of dental burnout: You're stressed because you're trying to be everything to everyone.

Key Revelations:

• "Simplicity scales. Complexity doesn't." - If you're juggling 15+ procedure types, you're a jack of all trades and master of none

• Case presentation friction: Team isn't fluent in procedures they rarely do. The result: Longer appointments, more stress, inconsistent patient experience

• Dentists panic about consolidation like it's game over. The real opportunity: Niche players will always emerge because specialized service beats commoditization
