Joshua Belof is child of God, a husband to Elizabeth, and father to 3 amazing young girls. One year ago they moved to the mountains of Franklin, NC, a very small rural town at the base of Smokey Mountain National Park, and is about to open his second FFS startup practice. Ten months ago, he sold his first startup dental practice, also FFS, after owning it for 11 years, with no commitment to return to dentistry. He has spent the last year evaluating many business opportunities but found that that dentistry is truly the best business one can own, and he will be launching his new startup practice in the next week. He believes that you don’t have to accept the current situation you are in, and that dentists are so blessed because we have so many options to reinvent our careers and rewrite our own stories. It just takes the guts to step out and make the changes.As a little boy from New Jersey, he always wanted to be an airline pilot. He and his family moved to Tampa FL in his high school years. He started working in a dental office at age 18, starting with fetching his bosses’ (and soon to become mentor’s) coffee, washing his car, cleaning out the attic, assisting chairside, filling in at the front desk, and eventually carving teeth out of soap. Dentistry was interesting, but not as much as aviation.He then went to Clearwater Christian College graduating with a BS in Pre-Medicine. However, undergrad education and the progression to dental school, was just a back up plan. While in college he earned his pilot’s license moving one step closer to his airline pilot dream. But then, everything changed. While in college, his mother received a cancer diagnosis, and passed away 6 short weeks later. There were some amazing nurses and doctors who displayed a high level of compassion and caring, and this left a big impact. He decided to turn his goal towards dentistry so that he could impact others in a manner similar to the cancer doctors. He applied to one school, and in 2007 received his DMD degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry.Immediately after school, he went back to work for his mentor, Dr Jeff Weihe, who taught him advanced CEREC applications and that a FFS practice is a practice model worth emulating. The financial crisis hit, and Dr. Belof eventually found himself working for a large corporation- the complete opposite of a FFS practice. Needless to say, this was a poor fit and one of 3 three major career moments that motivated a big change. The only way forward was ownership. And it had to be a startup.The doors are set to open this week for Career 2.0, AKA Signature Dentistry of Franklin, a FFS startup with plans to be low overhead, high tech, high touch, in a town that is dentally underserved. The FFS aspect will help fund the Heroes program, which is meant to act almost as a second practice within the practice, that donates dentistry to local community heroes who have demonstrated selfless service to the community.Dr. Belof’s core values for his dental office are gratitude, kindness, excellence, hospitality, positivity, and difference making. These values and a renewed sense of WHY are the driving force for Signature Dentistry.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Geoff grew up in Kansas City and was exposed to the world of dentistry at a young age, when his parents took him to get braces. The experience was transformative for him, and he was amazed at the way his dentist was able to renew his confidence in himself and his smile. His passion for the profession was solidified when he was hit in the mouth during a high school basketball game and needed to receive two root canals. Dr. Geoff had a great experience with his dentist and was inspired to provide calm, cool, and collected care just like the doctor who helped him. Dr. Geoff studied biological sciences with a minor in chemistry at the University of Missouri - Kansas City, and he went on to earn his DDS from the same school. Immediately after dental school, Dr. Geoff and his wife, Brianne, moved to Memphis, TN for her to attend a Pediatric Dental residency at the University of Tennessee Health Center. During this time, Dr. Geoff worked as an associate at a private practice office in Arkansas and Tennessee. He gained experiences in all facets of dentistry and quickly became very comfortable with the idea of being the only dentist in the office. He had a great mentor who gave him the confidence and support he needed to really develop his skills.Dr. Geoff's passion for helping people out of pain and restoring their confidence has only grown stronger as he’s grown in his dental expertise. As an Implant Pathway-trained member of both the ADA and the KDA, he continues to hone his skills through advanced education courses in an effort to always provide his patients with the exceptional care they deserve. When he’s not in the office, Dr. Geoff enjoys golfing, playing with his two dogs and two cats, trying new restaurants with his wife, and cheering on the Chiefs and the Royals.Geoff Kerns, DDSThe Smile Line Studio, Owner/DoctorThe Smile Line Studio913-276-1924www.thesmilelinestudio.com/11526 Ash StreetLeawood, Kansas 66211See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He has been a staple in the Fort Worth Dental Community and just recently full retired at the end of 2023. Our practice grew rapidly after COVID hit due to several dentists in our area retiring. Multiple smaller practices shut down and sent their patients to us. It required us to expand our space in our building and hire several new staff. It came with its challenges from a staffing standpoint and servicing our existing patients. We are finally in a groove, but my Father In Law and Office Manager of 37 years are retiring within months of each other. Another set of challenges are on the horizon. We are contracted with one insurance company. While we are still filing insurances for patients as a courtesy, I would love to get away from that at some point and go true FFS.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Elizabeth DiBona - The White Coat InvestorFood for thought: I would say think of your mouth like a house that you have to live in for the next 50 years. A builder can use cheap materials, cheap labor, and your bill will be small. But is that wise given that you can’t buy another house? My office places thousands of implants, and believe me, teeth are best, so protect them as best you can. And if your dentist tells you she is going “out of network,” be excited because it might mean you are getting amazing dental work!Sponsored by Kettenbach Dental. Contact: (877) 532-2123Website: www.kettenbach-dental.usWebshop: www.kettenbachusa.comOffer for Fee For Service Podcast MembersPurchase a PreXion CBCT model and install by December 31, 2022 and Receive either a free mounting stand (if needed) or a $1,000 rebate in the form of an Amazon or Target gift card.
