What does it take to grow a single dental practice into a network of 150 clinics across multiple countries? Dr Sandeep Kumar shares his journey from a newly requalified dentist in the UK to the founder of one of the most recognized Invisalign-focused dental networks in Europe.
After qualifying in India and requalifying in the UK in 2000, Sandeep quickly purchased his first practice and expanded it from one to six surgeries within a few years. But the pivotal moment came in 2017 when he made the bold decision to step away from clinical dentistry entirely. Rather than causing his income to drop, this shift gave him the space to lead strategically and grow faster.
This episode uncovers the mindset shifts and strategic pivots behind that decision. Sandeep reflects on the early grind of entrepreneurship, the evolution of dental marketing from traditional ads to digital platforms, and the importance of focusing on data and trends. One key insight came when he realized patients were asking specifically for Invisalign, revealing an untapped opportunity to structure a business around a single treatment.
Sandeep outlines three essential principles for dentists looking to grow: build a team of exceptional people, use technology to improve patient understanding, and invest in your personal brand. As more patients search online before choosing a provider, your digital presence is becoming just as important as your clinical skills.
Whether you’re an associate dreaming of ownership or a principal ready to scale, this episode offers a practical roadmap for building a business that extends far beyond the dental chair.
