Jeremy Livengood on Breaking Into Dental With a Bang: Strong Culture, Good People & Transparency

Episode notes

Being the new kid on the block can be a daunting affair - especially in today’s dental landscape. Not if you’re Jeremy Livengood, CEO of Seva Dental, though. He joins Mike Huffaker on the latest episode of The Dental Economist Show to explore the power of culture-first leadership, managing practice transitions with empathy, and implementing technology changes that drive real results. What You’ll Learn: How to maintain practice culture during DSO transitions by respecting legacy and managing emotional transitions Why implementing new technology requires clear communication of the "why" to ensure team adoption and success The framework for successful practice management software transitions through transparency and comprehensive support How to integrate AI and new dental technologies without overwhelming staff or disrupting patient care Why focusing on "right people, right seats" is crucial for scaling DSO operations while preserving culture Why maintaining a private practice feel within a DSO structure can drive long-term success The conversation proves that unsurprisingly, even in an era of tech dominance, dentistry can’t afford to lose its personal touch.
