## Resource

Most dental startups struggle not because of location or marketing, but because the weeks leading up to opening are rushed, unstructured, and poorly planned. In this episode of The Dental CEO Podcast, Scott Leune breaks down exactly how to open a startup practice cleanly and confidently by focusing on hiring the right team, training with intention, building systems before day one, and choreographing the patient experience from the first phone call to payment. This conversation outlines the operational decisions that separate organized, profitable startups from those that open stressed, reactive, and behind from the start.
