Taking a Fresh Look at Your Practice from a R&D Perspective with Scott Broadbent & Ben Dyches

Discover how the R&D tax credit for dental practices can unlock hidden cash flow from activities you're already performing. On this episode of The Dental Wealth Nation Show, Tim McNeely sits down with Scott Broadbent and Ben Dyches to explore how dental entrepreneurs can leverage research and development tax credits to strengthen practice profitability and fund growth initiatives.

What You'll Learn:

• How R&D tax credits apply specifically to dental practices and clinical workflows
• Methods to identify qualifying activities you're already conducting that generate tax benefits
• Strategies to recapture prior-year credits and improve current-year cash positioning
• How to document and structure R&D activities for maximum tax efficiency

Why This Matters for Your Exit:

Increasing practice cash flow through tax optimization directly strengthens your EBITDA and enterprise value. Whether you're planning a near-term exit or building long-term wealth, every dollar recovered improves your position in DSO negotiations or private equity discussions. LifeStone works with 8-figure dental entrepreneurs to maximize practice value through tax strategy and operational optimization.

Key Takeaway:

Most dentists leave significant money on the table by overlooking R&D tax credits embedded in their normal operations. This conversation reframes how you think about your practice's financial structure and reveals new cash flow opportunities without operational changes.
