## Resource

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes welcomes back Dr. Lior Tamir, practicing dentist, entrepreneur, and founder of The Dental App. They dive into Lior's innovative approach to navigating PPO challenges through an administrative and concierge-style model, while still maintaining transparency, ethics, and high-quality patient care. Lior shares how this model has helped him reinvest in his team, improve the patient experience, and build a more sustainable business in one of the most competitive markets in the country. The conversation also explores the future of dental practice management, including real-time analytics, CRM-style patient follow-up, cloud-based systems, and the rise of AI agents that can help automate tasks like recall, treatment follow-up, claims, and administrative workflows. From building better business tools to creating a more efficient and human-centered dental office, this episode is packed with forward-thinking ideas for practice owners who want to stay ahead.
