Ash welcomes Zane, founder of My Dental Force, to discuss how dental practices can leverage technology to increase productivity and boost revenue by tapping into their existing patient databases. Zane shares his unique journey from software engineering into dental practice consulting, where he identified missed opportunities for practices not fully utilizing data already present within their systems. He explains how My Dental Force integrates with existing software and phone systems, helping staff prioritize patient outreach, reactivate inactive patients, and simplify daily tasks.

They discuss the practical benefits of consolidating multiple tools into one platform, driving staff engagement, and providing clear analytics for owners and managers. Zane stresses the value of human interaction in patient communication, noting that patients respond better to calls from familiar staff rather than automated systems. The episode also explores the financial impact of addressing unscheduled treatments and outstanding balances, offering solutions for improving collections and maintaining manageable accounts receivable.
