Dr Jennifer Tran · Dentist, business owner & investor

BHSc(Dent), MDent (La Trobe), MRACDS (PDS)

Great dentistry is a team sport.

I'm a dentist who went on to build and run three businesses across dental and health, and I now invest in and mentor the owners coming up behind me. I bring that owner's view into clinics, boardrooms and onto stages: leadership, growth, profit, and the conversations everyone's been avoiding.

Ways to work together

What a dental practice consultant actually does.

Not slide decks. The work sits outside the mouth: how the team communicates, how treatment gets explained, how the day is scheduled, what the numbers are telling you, and why good people leave. I do it from the owner's chair, not the sidelines, because I have built, bought into and run businesses of my own.

In practice that means leadership, business, profit and mentorship. Four ways in, depending on what you need.

Longer-term work with dentists buying their first practice, owners scaling a second site, and founders building in dental and health. Sometimes that is mentorship, sometimes it is capital, sometimes it is both. I back people I would happily work beside.

A day on the floor with your whole team, front desk to principal. We work on the handover, the treatment conversation, the awkward money talk, and the small habits quietly costing you production. Everyone leaves with one thing to change on Monday.

Half day, full day, or a short program. Small groups, real cases, no jargon and no slide reading. Built for new grads stepping into private practice and for owners who want a business that runs without them in it.

I own and operate three businesses, so I will talk about yours in plain numbers: pricing, scheduling, case acceptance, hiring, ownership structures, and what to do when the person you trained hands in their notice. No theory, just what I have actually had to solve.

Not sure which one fits your clinic? Tell me what is going on and I will point you at the right thing.

Speaking

The session nobody scrolls through.

I talk about the parts of dentistry nobody covers at uni: leading a team, owning and growing a business, investing in yourself, and building a career you actually want to keep. Big energy, plain language, and takeaways people use the next morning.

Signature session

Thriving, Not Just Surviving in Your First Year of Private Practice

Written for final-year students and new graduates, and delivered at La Trobe, Adelaide and Melbourne universities. Less about clinical upskilling, more about the business of the job: reading a contract, understanding how a practice makes money, backing yourself in a treatment conversation, and lasting more than five years in the profession.

About

I'm Dr Jennifer Tran.

Dentist · Multi-business owner · Investor & mentor

BHSc(Dent), MDent (La Trobe), MRACDS (PDS)

Dentist by training, entrepreneur by choice, and the loudest person at the study club by accident. I own and run three businesses across dental and health, invest in a few more, and mentor the owners coming up behind me. Every one of them taught me the same lesson: the clinical work is rarely the hard part. The team is tired, the systems are held together with goodwill, and nobody wants to have the awkward conversation.

So that is what I teach and invest in. The leadership, business and money skills I had to go out and learn myself, delivered the way I wish someone had delivered them to me: plainly, warmly, and with a lot less shame. Universities bring me in for their graduating students; practice owners bring me in when the business has outgrown the way it was built.

Off the clock: strong coffee, long lists, and dragging my friends to things they never agreed to.

“I will say the thing your team has been tiptoeing around. Everyone will laugh. Then we will fix it.”

Businesses I own and run

Everything I teach is tested in these three first, and in the businesses I back. If it does not work on my own floor, it does not make it into a training day.

Mildura Family Dental

General and family practice. My home clinic, and where most of the lessons come from.

Perio Implant Harmony

Referral-level periodontics and implants, built around getting the case plan right the first time.

MediCupboard

Smart inventory for healthcare. Born out of being sick of stock going missing and money leaking out.

Coming soon

Courses in the works.

Thriving, Not Just Surviving in Your First Year of Private Practice

For new graduates: contracts, confidence, how a practice actually makes money, and how to stop dreading the daily list.

Lead the Room

For owners and managers: leading a business that does not need you in the room.

The Money Conversation

Pricing, case acceptance, and talking about money without flinching.

Questions

The practical details.

Formats, mentoring, ownership, travel and cost. If yours is not here, ask me directly and I will answer it properly.

[email protected]

Single-site practices, growing groups, and corporate or supplier teams. Dentists and allied dental alike: oral health therapists, hygienists, prosthetists, assistants and practice managers. Most groups are five to forty people, and the useful part is having the whole team in the room, not only the dentists.

A short call first so the day is built on your real problems. Then a morning on communication and the treatment conversation, an afternoon on systems, money and team habits. Everyone leaves with one thing to change on Monday, and you get a written summary afterwards.

Based in Mildura, and working across Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Regional clinics are genuinely welcome. Travel is quoted at cost, and often shared when two nearby practices book the same trip.

It depends on format, group size and travel, so I quote per engagement rather than list a price. Tell me what you have in mind and you will have a clear figure, inclusions and dates within two business days.

Training days and workshops usually book six to twelve weeks out, conference keynotes further ahead again. If something is urgent, ask anyway. Cancellations happen.

Yes, and it is a growing part of the work. That covers buying your first practice, deciding between a startup and an acquisition, reading the numbers on a business you are considering, and the first eighteen months after you sign. I have done it three times, so the advice is lived rather than theoretical.

Dental and health businesses where I can be useful beyond the money: practices scaling to a second site, and founders solving a problem I have had myself. If that sounds like you, send the short version and I will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

Get in touch

Let's build a dental business you love running.

Tell me about your practice, your event, the business you are building, or whatever you are stuck on. I read every enquiry myself and reply within two business days.
