Speaking & Training With Lana Rivera
Real-world practice stories, clear strategies, and practical takeaways your audience will actually use.
Every topic she brings to a stage is field-tested, not theoretical. Drawn from the actual patterns, breakdowns, and breakthroughs she has seen across high-volume offices, insurance-heavy practices, specialty groups, and growing DSOs.
Lana Rivera speaks to dental professionals the way she consults with them — directly, practically, and with the credibility that only comes from years of work inside real practices.
Who Lana Speaks To
Lana speaks to audiences where operational performance, team alignment, and practice profitability intersect. Her content is built to resonate whether the room is full of practice owners making strategic decisions, office managers running the daily operation, or clinical leads trying to get a team to execute more consistently.
What Lana Brings to Your Stage
Every topic is built from real practice experience — the patterns she has seen repeatedly across dental offices of every size and specialty, and the systems that have consistently moved the needle. Each session is tailored to your audience and delivered at the depth your event requires.
The front desk is where revenue is either set up to succeed or quietly undermined before treatment ever begins. This session breaks down the specific systems — scheduling, communication, financial expectations, and handoffs — that separate a front office that runs from one that reacts. Attendees leave with a clear picture of where their front desk is creating downstream problems and exactly what to do about it.

High-value full-arch cases demand more than clinical excellence. They require a team that communicates with precision, a case flow that accounts for every stage of the patient journey, and systems that protect the financial and operational integrity of every case. This session addresses the operational side of All-on-X that most training programs don’t touch.

Most practices are sitting on revenue they’ve already earned — they just haven’t built the systems to collect it. This session identifies the most common and most recoverable sources of revenue leakage: billing gaps, collections shortfalls, scheduling inefficiencies, and the front-end breakdowns that cost practices money before a claim is ever submitted.
Best For: Practice Owners · Office Managers · Study Clubs · DSO Financial & Operations Leads
Most practices confuse team culture with team happiness. The two aren’t the same. This session reframes culture as an operational discipline: built through clear expectations, reinforced through accountability, and measured by how consistently the team executes when no one is watching.
Best For: Practice Owners · DSO Leaders · Office Managers · Leadership Conferences
Collections numbers aren’t just a financial metric — they’re a diagnostic tool. When you know how to read them, they tell you exactly where your revenue cycle is breaking down and how much recoverable revenue your practice is leaving on the table.

What to Expect When Lana Is in the Room
There’s a version of dental speaking that feels good in the moment and disappears by the time the attendee hits the airport. Lana’s sessions aren’t that.
Every presentation is built with a single non-negotiable standard: the person sitting in that seat should leave with something specific, applicable, and implementable — not a feeling, not a concept, but a tool they can bring back to their practice and use.
Lana’s content is grounded in operational reality. The systems she presents have been stress-tested inside real practices, under real pressure, with real teams. She doesn’t speak from theory — she speaks from a track record. Her sessions move — equal parts sharp insight, real practice anecdotes, and candid delivery that makes an audience lean in rather than check their phones.
Dental audiences are busy, experienced, and have a low tolerance for content that doesn’t respect their time or intelligence. Lana meets them where they are — with clarity, candor, and the kind of specificity that signals she has been in the same rooms they work in every day.
Every engagement is built around the specific audience, event format, and organizational goals of the host. A DSO leadership summit requires different calibration than a study club dinner or a national conference breakout. Lana adjusts accordingly.
Where Lana Has Spoken
Lana has brought her content to dental professionals across international CE programs, national conferences, and specialty-focused events. The through line across every engagement is the same — practical sessions that dental audiences remember and reference long after the event ends.
An internationally recognized CE program drawing dental professionals from across the country and abroad.
One of the most respected national platforms in dental practice management. An ADMC appearance signals peer-level credibility within the dental consulting and management community.
A nationally recognized platform dedicated to women building and leading in dentistry.
“Every attendee should leave with at least one system, one framework, or one specific change they’re ready to implement before the end of the week. If that didn’t happen, the session didn’t do its job.”
