Insourcing vs. Outsourcing for your Dental Practice: The Pros and Cons

In this episode, Meredith and I explore how leveraging technology can simplify dental practices, reduce patient costs, and increase profits. I discuss essential technologies every practice should consider insourcing, including digital cameras, digital impression machines, and 3D x-rays (CBCT), and outlines a step-by-step approach for transitioning from outsourcing to insourcing these tools. The episode also highlights the importance of maintaining simplicity in practice management and provides practical insights on balancing technological investments with operational realities.
