A root canal is easy to diagnose with clinical testing and X-rays. Your practice is harder to read. What you're really after is a Lifestyle Practice, not just a busy one.
What we mean by a "Lifestyle Practice"
It is about working less. A Lifestyle Practice runs on systems and a strong team instead of on your personal hours. It produces at a high level, grows steadily, and still leaves room for your life outside the operatory. Those systems might include an associate, freeing up even more of your time. That's the target this score is measuring you against.

Your Practice X-Ray Findings
These findings reflect your own answers across the six dimensions we track with every coaching client. Think of it as your practice's baseline, not a grade. The most useful comparison right now is the one you take again in six months.
Your Six-Dimension Shape
Each area is scored on its own, 0 to 100. A strong score in one doesn't offset a weak one in another, so the shape below shows exactly where the gaps really are.

Everything You Need to Know About the Endo Lifestyle Practice
What is an Endo Lifestyle Practice?
An Endo Lifestyle Practice is an endodontic practice built on proven systems, an empowered team, and sound financial structure, so the doctor can work about three days a week, take 8 to 10 weeks off a year, and earn a high income without sacrificing clinical excellence.
Who created the Endo Lifestyle Practice concept?
It was developed by Dr. Ace Goerig, co-founder of Endo Mastery, based on the practice he built himself and the systems he has taught to hundreds of endodontists.
Is an Endo Lifestyle Practice realistic for an average endodontist?
Yes. It has been built across hundreds of practices over more than 30 years. Success comes mostly from systems and leadership, not from working harder or being a better clinician.
How can an endodontist work only three days a week and still earn well?
By building efficient scheduling, a self-managing team, and strong referral systems, a practice can produce more in fewer days. Higher productivity per day, not longer hours, is what creates both income and freedom.
Do I have to lower my standard of care to run a lifestyle practice?
No. The model is designed to protect clinical excellence. Better systems actually improve the patient experience while reducing stress on you and your team.
What are the building blocks of an Endo Lifestyle Practice?
Three things: proven practice systems, an empowered and accountable team, and a clear financial structure. Together they let the practice run well without depending on the doctor for every decision.
Why is a struggling practice usually a systems problem, not a clinical one?
Most endodontists are excellent clinicians but were never trained to build business systems. When scheduling, team roles, and finances are unclear, the practice feels chaotic no matter how strong the clinical work is.
Is the Endo Lifestyle Practice only for practice owners?
It is designed for practice-owning endodontists, since owners control the systems, team, and finances that make it possible. Early-career doctors can start preparing through our Career Start program. Learn more →
