## Resource

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Cory Pinegar, CEO of Reach, to discuss the changing landscape of dental staffing and why the hybrid practice model is becoming less of an innovation and more of a necessity. Cory shares how Reach evolved from a small reactivation service into a virtual staffing company supporting thousands of dental practices, and why international team members can provide both cost efficiency and long-term stability when hired, trained, and integrated the right way. Mark and Cory also dig into the financial pressures facing dental practices today, including rising overhead, stagnant reimbursement rates, labor challenges, and the growing need for operational efficiency. They explore what practices need to know before hiring remote team members, how to avoid treating virtual assistants like generic outsourcing, and why the best results come from embedding remote staff into the culture, systems, and daily rhythm of the practice.
