The Power of Team, Tech, and Time in This Pediatric Practice | Dr. Jackie Wingate | 588

What’s the secret ingredient to happier patients, empowered teams, and tech that works for you in pediatric dentistry?

In this episode, Dr. Jackie Wingate lifts the curtain on her transformative journey from rushed, high-volume dentistry to a deeply personal, low-volume approach that puts children and their families at the heart of every visit. Dr. Jackie shares what prompted her to step away from traditional models and meticulously build a practice in Philadelphia’s suburbs around quality time with patients, empowering education, and advanced minimally invasive care.

Listen as Dr. Jackie reveals the pivotal operational choices that have set her practice apart, including embracing technology, thoughtful outsourcing, and assembling a purpose-driven team every step of the way. Hear about her hands-on methods for minimizing sedation, her unfiltered lessons from both DSOs and private practices, and the small details that make lasting impressions (like an illuminated sign’s surprising marketing power.)
