The Dental Success Institute, founded by Dr. Mark Costes, is a multi-faceted dental education coaching business designed to inspire, connect and educate the world's top dental professionals.
Dr. Mark Costes is far from a typical dentist and dental coach. During his career, he has been able to start or acquire sixteen successful dental practices during some of the profession’s most challenging times. But Dr. Costes’s journey was not without its setbacks. In fact, he credits much of his success to the fact that he made more mistakes in his first year of private practice ownership than most dentists make in an entire career. What separated him from the masses, however, was the fact that he viewed each failure and roadblock as a learning experience and an opportunity to improve his business and life. This philosophy, as well as his decision to model the world’s most successful marketers and dentists, has led him to where he is today.
Dr. Costes is founder of the Dental Success Institute, a company committed to helping dentists to achieve their full potential, while recapturing their passion for dentistry. He is also the Co-founder and CEO of Dental Success Network, a positive and collaborative group of nearly 1,000 dentists that is focused on providing its members with all of the tools and resources necessary to excel within the profession of dentistry. Dr. Costes is the International and #1 Amazon Best Selling Author of the book Pillars of Dental Success. His internet radio show, The Dentalpreneur Podcast now has listenership from over 150 countries worldwide. Mark and his wife Leslie have three sons; Bryce, Brendan, Brady and their dogs, Bear and Haze. They live in Prescott, AZ.
The Mission of the Dental Success Institute is to help dentists to achieve their full potential in business and in life.
Once a dental practice is transformed from a staff-dependent to a systems-dependent business, the owner can achieve improved work/life balance, decreased career related stress, and increased profitability and personal income.
The vision aligns deeply with the DSI mission in that we practice what we preach. Systems continue to evolve over time, but nothing stays the same for long. While dental technology, dental marketing and the cost of doing business continue to evolve, so does DSI’s commitment to aligning with the best and brightest. DSI delivers up-to-date practice management techniques alongside “family-like” accountability through coaches and community.
The true measure of dental practice success is in the numbers. The true measure of personal success is in the relationships you foster. Whether you are a listener of The Dentalpreneuer Podcast or a member of the Dental Success Network, or a DSI Mastermind, this community offers the resources to ensure growth no matter what stage of life/dentistry you are in.
Becoming a DSI Member is an investment with high return. Membership benefits include one-on-one coaching, group accountability, exclusive CE events, access to a network of successful dental professionals, a preferred vendor network with significant cost savings on products and services and so much more.
