Bloom Dental Co. has Bloomed!

Hey friends!

You’ve done the work. Designed the logo. Passed the fire inspection. Ordered the chairs. Trained the team. And then, finally… the day arrives.

It’s opening day.

And that’s exactly where Dr. Toni Torres found herself in Episode 5 of The Making Of Podcast — ready (ish) to welcome her very first patients to Bloom Dental Co.

But you know how these things go…

✅ The front desk is prepped

🚪The door swings open

💻 And then… your point-of-sale system glitches, your printer won’t connect, and the OSHA binder isn’t as “complete” as you thought.

In this episode, Toni walks us through the real first-day experience — the wins, the hiccups, and the hilarious in-betweens. (Her husband and daughter even came in for a trial run just to “go through the motions” — a must if you’re opening soon.)

📣 How a local Fall Festival became a new-patient goldmine

🛠️ And how her team rolled with the first-day chaos

This one’s for any doc getting close to opening day — or looking back and saying, “Oh yeah… that happened.”

Talk soon, Ashley 💛
