What makes a dental clinic truly thrive? It’s not just clinical excellence or cutting-edge equipment — it’s the people who bring your vision to life every single day.
That’s the powerful message Dr. LaRee Johnson shared in her webinar as part of The Dentist CEO series. As the founder of Carolina Pediatric Dentistry in North Carolina and an international speaker with over 25 years of experience, Dr. Johnson knows what it takes to build a loyal, high-performing team. Her energy, honesty, and practical insights had attendees inspired and scribbling notes from start to finish.
This wasn’t your typical lecture — it was an engaging, real-world conversation about leadership in dentistry, packed with ideas you can bring back to your practice.
Leadership That Starts With People
Working with dental teams over the years, Dr. LaRee has seen one truth repeatedly: a dentist can have the best clinical skills, but without the right people supporting them, their practice will struggle.
She spoke about hiring for mindset and heart, not just experience. Skills can be taught, she said, but a willingness to serve and a positive attitude are priceless. She shared stories from her own journey, including how she hired a cafeteria worker with no dental background who went on to become one of her most trusted team leaders.
Training, she emphasized, is equally critical. Teams thrive when they’re given clear systems, consistent onboarding, and leaders who model the behavior they want to see. “Your team will rise to the level of your example,” Dr. LaRee said.
A Leader Who Inspires
Dr. Johnson’s leadership doesn’t stop at dentistry. She and her husband have completed three Ironman triathlons, she’s a certified yoga instructor with a focus on mindfulness, and she balances her professional life with family and fitness.
Her enthusiasm for empowering teams was infectious. But as much as we’d love to share every insight here, the truth is, an article can’t replicate the atmosphere of the live session. The energy in the virtual room, the practical tools Dr. Johnson shared, and the inspiring conversations left attendees with ideas they were eager to implement right away.
