What does the journey from private dental practice to building a network of clinics look like? What matters more for growth — clinical expertise or a systematic approach to management?

In this new interview, we spoke with Justinas Gaidys — founder and chief dentist of Albodent (Vilnius, Lithuania).

Justinas shared his story: why he chose dentistry, how he started his own clinic, and what decisions helped him scale the business. Today, Albodent operates two clinics in Lithuania, with a third currently under development.

In this conversation, we discussed:

• how to transition from being a clinician to becoming a business leader;
• how to scale a dental practice without compromising quality;
• how to build a strong team and develop your own management style;
• how to combine the roles of clinic owner, chief dentist, and practicing clinician;
• where to start when building and growing your own clinic;
• which approaches and mindset help dentists succeed in modern dentistry.

This interview will be valuable both for clinic owners and for dentists who are thinking about taking the next step in their professional journey.
