Hi, I'm Dr. Terri Pukanich,
Founder & CEO of
I help women in dentistry have more fun, feel more fulfilled and make more money in their practice!
About Me
My name is Dr. Terri Pukanich and I am the Founder and CEO of Dental BossLady.
I am a pretty good dentist. But I was a terrible businesswoman. A few years after buying my practice, I was ready to sell and quit general dentistry – my business was running me and the whole thing felt like a slog. I decided that I needed to invest in my business education, so I spent the next few years – and a ludicrous amount in consulting and coaching fees – figuring out how to be a dental boss . . .
But being a woman in dentistry adds a whole other level.
I founded Dental BossLady to share what I've learned about how to run a successful practice as a woman in dentistry. I have distilled the skills, knowledge and experience that I've accrued from hundreds of books, thousands of hours of professional development, consulting and coaching, and observed the results from experimenting and tweaking elements of my own practice. I want to share what I've learned to help you short circuit the path to your dream dental practice.
​
I am a full-time practicing dentist. I'm not running a high end boutique practice – I'm still in the trenches, drilling out lower first molar decay on 15 year old kids who don't brush their teeth! So I get it. I want to give women in dentistry the "secret sauce" that has transformed my practice from a slog to a multi-million-dollar practice in a small town in Northern Alberta where we have fun every single day.
