2600: Above the Hillary Step: The Lifestyle Practice on Your Terms
On today's episode, Dr. Cody Boals and Dr. Chris Green present a practical framework for scaling a dental practice during the Dental Success Summit 2026. Using the journey up Mount Everest as a metaphor for practice growth, they break ownership into three stages: clinical, entrepreneurial, and aspirational. They explain what leadership, systems, staffing, provider growth, and operational structure are needed at each level.
They also share deeply personal stories that show why building redundancy and freedom inside a practice matters far beyond production, including the ability to step away when family needs you most. The presentation challenges dentists to define their own vision, grow intentionally, develop stronger leaders, and build a practice that supports the life they actually want.
