I am just doing my best to be his hands and feet. This holds true whether you’re selling tires or dentistry. If you give the best product at an affordable price… your business will succeed. It requires a doctor that is humble and hungry enough to be the best in world at what they do, and at MINT, we accept nothing less. Then, before he starts, getting retrained by the best heart surgeon in world, how much better would they would be…? This is what we do for our dentists. Imagine a heart surgeon who went to 15 years of school and has 5 years’ experience going to work at a new hospital.

We take the time to train dentists, which in our industry, is unheard of. We have hundreds of dentists who are waiting for an opportunity to work here. Our dentists are provided with the best materials, they learn the best techniques, and they get paid way above the going rate.

MINT dentists feel blessed to work at MINT. In those such companies, the dentists who will work there that value patient care, get no support in their effort to administer it (with cheap materials, and no training). Most dental chains have a private equity guy at the top and there is a battle between the CEO who is not a dentist and only values the bottom line. So if you are a patient at MINT, you get to have the peace of mind that the doctor who is taking care of you, would not work here unless I have marked them as a great dentist. It gives us a competitive advantage because most dentists who are bad, have no idea how bad they are. If a dentist isn’t great, I will remove them. Ultimately, I hold my dentists accountable to be great. Due to Mint becoming a company at this point, it scares some people who like the local office feel, but at Mint you still get the local, boutique office feel, only better. Dental schools teach that a 10 percent complication rate is acceptable. There is not a single procedure we do that we have not modified to be better. We took apart every technique and tweaked to make it better. At that point, we had the best minds in dentistry. If you are a dentist, you want to learn this technique. Cosmetic dentistry is the gold standard of how a dentist is judged by other dentists, and our “look book” is unbelievable. This also allowed us to recruit the best of the best dentists, because every dentist wanted to learn this technique. MINT’s reputation scored and we were doing a cosmetic case almost every day. It also gave a superior result that looked MUCH better. It allowed healing in just 2 days from the 8-week standard healing rate from crown lengthening surgery. Nora Kweik (my first associate doctor) to lengthen teeth in conjunction with veneers. I had invented a cosmetic procedure, with Dr. We literally could not answer the phones. I founded MINT when I was 28, and by the time I was 30, MINT was the busiest dental office in Dallas. I must say that I felt insecure about my age (I felt like Dougie Houser). Seven years later, I was one of the youngest dentists in country. It was there I felt God called me to be a dentist. I was 19 at the time, and I assisted him with extractions. This was his way of sharing God’s love with everyone. Seidler recruited me to come with his ministry “Serving Him,” which served the dental needs (at no cost) to orphans and underprivileged people in Romania. His practice is in the Colony, he is a great dentist, and Christian man.

My passion for dentistry started on a mission trip, with my first mentor, Dr. You can only be the best if you are very passionate about that thing. Whenever I speak, I tell the audience not to start a business if they are not the best in world at that thing. Field Harrison.ĭr. Harrison, please share your story with us.
