    Trust TBone and 3D Dentists
    I have been going to 3D dentists courses and listening to Tbones podcast for years. So many great clinical and business pearls. TBone and Meredith are the same in person as they are in this podcast. Real authentic people that care about their listeners and 3D dentists family and actually care about your success.

    Thank you!
    I have been listening to all 3D Dentists podcasts for over a year now. I recently took my team to the Growth Summit in Nashville. I have found T-Bone, Sully and everyone at 3D Dentists to be down to earth, engaging, entertaining and most importantly, inspiring. As a dental practice owner, listening to passionate dentists speak about running dental practices gets me fired up for my day. I walk into my office inspired and ready to rock. Thank you guys! Keep up the good work! Kevin Albert, Clintonville Dental Group

    Highly recommended
    I found this podcast several months ago and have found it extremely helpful. I’ve been in the same practice for 15 years and have found myself overrun with the chaos that comes along with running a large practice. This podcast has given me a lot of concrete action items that are helping me to continue to grow my practice while seeing less patients per day. Thank you for doing this podcast. I am very grateful to have found this information.

    Simply the best
    TBone’s podcast and 3D Dentists have changed our practice for the better! We have grown so much as a team and a practice since Dr. Allie and Adam took the Masterminds course. We continue to implement and improve the fundamentals, and when we veer from them, we notice a difference immediately! Not only has the podcast and 3D Dentists changed our practice, but it has changed our lives both professionally and personally. Thank you to the entire 3D Dentists team!

    Inspirational
    T Bone is an inspiration for anyone who is driven to get better, personally I get motivated seeing him working hard to share knowledge that may take years to gain if you keep your self in your own bubble, his story tells me nothing is impossible if you have a will. I am honored to know him and learn a lot from his experience. Keep up the good work.
  • Dr Mike Oxslong
    Great stuff!
    I find the podcast to be relevant to the challenges I encounter daily in my office. Great ideas that can be implemented!

    Best title for best podcast
    I’ve learned a great deal from 3D Dentists clinical courses including sleep therapy, hybrids, sedation and implants. What I love about the podcast is it helps me to stay motivated to do more of those things. TBone is a master of distilling otherwise complicated ideas and concepts into actionable, simple treatment. The title is so appropriately named Dentistry Made Simple. I just love Meredith as cohost. First of all, she has a terrific voice and amazing personality. Also, she helps TBone stay on topic and she encourages the discussion with examples that she has personally seen in a busy dental office. TBone and Meredith share examples and stories of what has worked well and not so well and after listening to any episode, I feel inspired to do a little more and be a little better. I’m not overwhelmed and I feel like I end each podcast a better leader and person. Thank you and please keep it up.

    Best dental, business and leadership podcast
    This is not hyperbole: listening to TBone’s podcast is the best thing that has happened to my practice. Every episode is the just right pep talk in my ear to make me not only a better practitioner but also a better leader for my team. TBone is a fantastic podcast host because he practices what he preaches. He encourages dental professionals to coach their team by leading them to think the way they think, and this leadership style is exactly what you’ll get in TBone’s podcast and his Mastermind program. He leads you, coaches you, encourages you to be better and do better. Dentistry Made Simple is not just a catchy title. It’s exactly what you’ll find from this podcast. It’s a must listen to any dental professional looking to spend less time in their practice while staying engaged in doing what they love, and then seeing great results because of this. In fact, I think any professional will find TBone’s strategies to be smart, practical, and accessible towards the growth and development of their business, not to mention entirely entertaining to listen to. -The Worlds Best Old Fashioned Maker

    Life and practice changing
    We all know there are wonderful dental based podcasts out there, but for my wife and I, nothing has changed us in our personal lives, practice, and with our large team more than what TBone and Meredith put out weekly and offer in their courses. This podcast is a weekly must for any dentist, no matter age or size of practice, the pearls of wisdom and the ideas that TBone gives are invaluable, he makes you think and want to be better. When you add in the amazing dentists and people that make up 3D Dentists and all their available courses, you see why TBone and 3D Dentists are changing the way we practice and live our lives outside the practice. Do yourself a favor and start changing your practice and life one 3D Dentists course at a time. Thank you TBone and Meredith for reaching so many in our wonderful profession, people like you make our profession the best. The Emotional Dentist and the Cases Lady Drs. Adam and Allie Frounfelter

    Great advice
    I associate T-Bone with great advice. I also associate him with laughter and common sense. His podcast is enjoyable to listen to and I associate it with some of the best podcasts out there. I have a 35 minute drive to work and, once a week, I associate that time as T-Bone ( and Meredith) time. Keep it up and carry on. Papa Randy

    My hero
    I go to meet T-bone almost 8 years ago in Vegas. I knew then I want to grow up to be like him. Have been listing to him for few years now. Taken few of his lectures and planning on taking more. I listen to many podcasts but this is the only one that does not freak me out and feel like I can do this. Thanks again and hope to see u soon.

    Clear & Concise Advice
    This podcast is a great listen! Designed to stick to the point and hammer down on implementation of any subject they cover. You will learn something new every time. Listening to these podcasts has helped me reimagine my perspective and reversed my burnout I was beginning to feel! Tbone and staff keep the mood light and fun while focusing in on how to make dentistry/life more enjoyable, profitable and robust.

    Checks and Balances
    I always enjoy listening to the podcast. The information helps me assess what I am doing currently in my practice and helps me make changes as I hear new ideas. It also makes me feel great to know I’m doing similar things: it’s like a think-tank at my fingertips. I also appreciate the need to constantly evolve my dental practice while maintaining my office culture/identity (and it’s okay to change it BTW)! You guys always have great insight into this part of the BUSINESS. Last thing, when is 3D dentists doing a class on 5-axis milling? I’m ready!

    Tbone and 3D Delivers
    I’ve been a listener of the podcast since 2nd yr of dental school and now in my 4th yr of practice. I can say that Tbone and his 3D staff is doing a great service to the profession of dentistry. I recently attended the Printing course and had a private lesson (crashed the party) from Tbone himself and it was more than what I bargained for. Thank you Tbone, Meridith, Sully and the rest of the staff for a great course and podcast! Im looking forward to the ortho, mastermind and hands on course. I can tell you it’s already changed the course of my career! Daniel

    A must listen
    I have listened to the podcast since it started. It began as my backup podcast that I would listen to when I ran out of other podcasts, but it grew on me. It is now my must listen to podcast that I eagerly await new eppisodes. T-Bone is a breath of inspiration that makes you want to do better and learn more. He gives simple, real world issues while remiaing humble. Such fresh air compared to so many other speakers.
  • Drew Williamson -Student
    Student Perspective
    Hello, I’m a dental student in St. Louis in my last year and picked up listening to this podcast last October. Listening to this podcast is great way to get real life perspective about practicing and doing what you want to do post dental school. As we all know schools typically don’t teach much business ideology while in school and this is a great way to open students eyes to what to expect following graduation and starting to practice. I wish I would of started listening sooner!
  • the anatomator
    influential and practical
    just wanted to say i’m a big fan of the podcast. I found it recently and have been binging on it a ton. It’s been a great influence on me as i get ready to purchase a practice. In the process of developing my own financial menu. Thanks for the content you put out.
  • CoolKedSK
    A must listen for any dentist looking for a more fruitful career
    I have been listening to Tbone since I graduated from dental school in 2016. In an era of information overload, Tbone is able to simplify the business and clinical aspects of dentistry so efficiently that always leaves you yearning for more of his expertise. What makes him truly standout is his ability with making you comfortable with the uncomfortable. If you’re not growing, what are you doing? Must listen for anyone looking to turn their dental practice into a dental business.
  • Zulu Doc
    Game Changer
    I’m a rural dentist in Jamaica (the island, not New York) and T-bone has given me the confidence to overhaul my business model. I’ve concentrated for years on taking CE and implementing the knowledge acquired, while not paying attention to the business and profitability side of Dentistry. The pandemic lockdown was an eye opener financially.. Unlike other podcasts, this is engaging, with practical workable advice.. He and his co-host Meredith are just an awesome listen, and way to start your mornings.

    Audio Critique :update !
    I love the podcast and I absoutletly love the informaton.I love tbone as well and his style of presentation, however I must be completely honest for the benefit of the podcastand my sanity. I have listened to every single tbonespeaks podcast episode and I listen to podcast constantly on a daily basis. I must comment about the HORRIBLE audio quality for this show. Lately the audio quality has been almost unlistenable. It sounds asa if t boe and his guest ae in a cave or a tunnel. Very dissapointing and Ive been really frustrated with the audio as I really want to hear what the guest are speaking of. Ive even had to stop listening to some of the episodes because of the poor audio quality. I know you arent new to podcast recording so thats why Im so confused as to why this is whats being released. Very poor quality honestly and Im just hoping this problem gets better becasue I really love the show. Thanks Update : the sound quality is now amazing! I felt obligated to update this old review. I have not stopped listening at all and this is still one of my favorite podcast. I love the changes to the podcast and really appreciate the insight and leadership T-Bone gives! Thanks

    Commuting Entertainment
    T-Bone, Meredith and all your guests ROCK! I’m just entering my third year of practice ownership, and you have taught me so much about the direction I want to take my practice. From the clinical side and the business side, you offer the total package. Hope to see you soon in a live course, but that’ll take some planning as I’m coming all the way from Alaska!
  • VINNYV
    Solid
    First, I am not a clinician I sell to dentist (I think I have one of the best gigs). I listen to T-bone because he gives a broad perspective and his insight on leadership in dentistry helps me be a better sales rep. So thank you for sharing your knowledge!
  • Marisa J2
    Awesome dental podcast!!!!
    T-Bone highlights all aspects of dental business and more in thie can't miss podcast! He brings his entertaining personality while offering insightful advice and information that is helpful to everyone who listens!
  • JoshHudsonDMD
    One of the Best Dental Podcasts
    It’s one of the better dental podcasts out there. T-bone is a smart and practical person to listen to on changing your practice for the better, but even more important for a podcast, he’s like able and entertaining. His recommendations are helpful and wise to implement, and I feel like he is more transparent than other podcasts in how he feels a practice should change for improvement.
  • Moprsi
    Highly recommend
    One of the best podcasts in dentistry to listen to. Great advice that has been very beneficial to my everyday practice. I have been to couple of their CE courses as well. Money well spent. T-bone is one of the people I highly respect in dentistry (next only to my real life mentor who taught me practical clinical dentistry after school). He knows how to run the dental world and shares it with others freely.
  • P.Afsh
    A dental must listen
    I have heard of T bone and recently stumbled across his podcast through word of mouth from a friend. As a relatively new dentist (class of 2018), I have had many questions left unanswered. T bone has not only answered these questions, but has had in depth conversations regarding the topics. I listen to this podcast religiously and consider the information gained invaluable. Thank you so much for constantly putting out great content. Keep up the great work!

  • Seth Taj
    Love this podcast
    As a non-dentist (married to a dentist) I really enjoy T-Bone’s podcast because all the material presented on his podcast are super useful and easy to implement. He is a smart business person not to mention his great sense of humor! Keep up the great work. Updated - Omg. The Keto episode is so funny. I was laughing through out the whole thing. T-bone hunting for his ice cream!! Haha.

    Dress for the job you want not the one you have!
    I have been listening to Tbone’s podcast for 2 years now and really appreciate all the zero fluff content. The saying... “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have” has been tough when you don’t have local Dentists that practice the way you want or see yourself in the future. Through this podcast, I was able to start implementing the ground work for my dream practice with simple yet effective business principles I learned from the podcast. Thanks for all the great info - I look forward to the new episodes weekly! Dr. Caroline Tuttle

    New listener
    Found this podcast during the pandemic. I’m in the process of opening my first office and Dr.T has given a lot of good advice. Looking forward to incorporating 3D to my practice and attending the live courses once we are able to.
  • Husnain786
    Great Actionable Tips
    I’m new to listening this podcast and as a recent grad am gaining a lot of knowledge over many different topics! I really love all of the actionable stuff T-Bone says do and the summary points made at the very end! Also I really like all the personal finances stuff he talks about as most dental podcasts only talk about dentistry and not how to manage your money, etc. So keep it up! I’ll continue to listen to your great podcast!
  • gtime excellent

  • Sergio-74

  • HPat51
    Real advice with no bs
    The best thing about T-Bones podcast is that he doesn’t beat around the bush. He tells you how it is and challenges you to do better. He offers advice and helps you gain clarity on what YOU want. I love listening to this podcast every time there’s a new episode it’s the first one I listen to. Tons of helpful, tactical advice. Thank you T-Bone.
  • PsychCouture
    Tbone
    Love this podcast! Meredith is such a great addition to the show!
  • PetarST
    Fantastic resource and podcast
    Can’t say enough about TBone and his teams efforts in sharing their experiences and life/practice lessons in the goal of helping us, dental professionals, find happiness and financial stability. The podcast is great at providing applicable information for both dentists and their team members, that makes you take stock of your professional and personal goals while helping and motivating you to achieve those goals. From practice management, business strategy and team development to clinical proficiencies in CAD/CAM, sleep apnea, implants and medical billing, T Bone and his team are great educators and I can’t thank them enough for the knowledge they have shared with me. Thank you!
  • garyholtzclaw
    T bones the man
    The podcast will challenge you and make you a better dentist and business person. Like many dentist, I often dream big then get scared and don’t implement. T bone is awesome at showing you how to use technology to make you accomplish goals in a quicker and with less headaches. As someone whose taken one of his classes, I can also vouch he cares about you as a person and that you implement what he teaches you which is rare in dental CE.
  • Juan Acosta @hypnodontist
    No nonsense and fun to listen to
    The variety of topics and guests and good flow of conversation make T-Bone’s podcast one of my favorites in the dental space. As a former dental office manager I’ve particularly enjoyed the episodes about case acceptance and getting patients to yes and have found them actionable and worthwhile. Thanks for all you do!
  • Alexander Phillips (Dentsply)
    Just as great in person!
    I got the chance at Dentsply Sirona World 2019 to: 1) See T-Bone lecture on full arch fixed hybrids 2) Meet T-Bone in-person He's just as great as he is in his podcast. Great sense of humor, engaging, and is able to boil complex ideas into easy-to-understand bites/concepts. As a new graduate, I don't know what I would do without mentors like T-Bone out there who are openly sharing advice to his fellow colleages of all ages. This podcast has been a godsend and I've recommended it to fell new grads. T-Bone, I love what you do, and thank you so much for lifting up the dental community!
  • Dr Magotch
    Sooner than later!
    T-Bone's podcast " Pivoting Your Dental Practice" is a MUST listen to series. Going into my 25th year I wish I would have done this 20 years earlier. He explains everything simple & concise - a NO-BS approach!
  • AKat2025

  • PCM_DDS
    Most Bang for your Buck
    T-Bone Speaks is by far the best Dental Podcast out there. I have listened to many of them, and T-Bone consistently delivers quality, relevant content without all the goofy banter and side-tracking that many podcasts waste time on. Dr. Agarwal keeps the discussion on track while also being entertaining. This is nice for someone like me who does not have a long commute to listen to long drawn out podcasts! Thanks T-Bone for all the insight, opinions, advice, etc.
  • AdamABowers
    Something I look forward to every week
    I love this podcast. T-bone covers an incredibly wide range of topics, from clinical to practice management, and always asks smart questions to his guests. I’m just starting dental school, so I admittedly don’t even understand some of the conversations, but I always find that I learn something each week!
  • The original DA Rockstar
    Tbone gives you wings
    Every time you think there is no way you can incorporate something into your practice or have the time. This podcast lays it all out and gives you such confidence to just do it. Best motivator ever! Great job
