What drives a dentist to take the leap from associate to practice owner? For Dr. Zain Remy, it wasn't about financial rewards but something far more personal – the quest for clinical freedom and the ability to practice dentistry according to his own values.

This candid conversation takes you behind the glossy façade of practice ownership to reveal the messy, challenging, yet ultimately rewarding journey of a recent dental practice acquisition. Zain shares the pivotal moments that pushed him toward ownership: carrying a personal box of private materials between NHS patients, facing pressure to complete crown preparations in just 40 minutes, and feeling his passion for dentistry slipping away under corporate constraints.

With refreshing honesty, Zain details the unexpected hurdles that greeted him as a new owner – from discovering out-of-date stock dating back to 2006 that forced him to temporarily close the practice, to previous owners undermining his new pricing structure with patients. His strategy for navigating these challenges offers valuable insights for anyone considering practice ownership.

The discussion explores how social media became a crucial tool in Zain's transition, allowing him to build a personal brand that attracted aligned patients and created professional opportunities. His approach to TikTok, Facebook and Instagram provides practical guidance for dentists looking to establish their own digital presence.

Perhaps most valuable is Zain's reflection on the emotional journey of leadership – becoming what he calls the "emotional obelisk" for his team while managing his own anxieties about business performance. His perspective that "if you're not out of your comfort zone, you're doing something wrong" captures the growth mindset necessary for successful practice ownership.
