I spent 25 years figuring out how to practice dentistry on my own terms. Now I help you do it faster.
I've owned, built, and run my practice on my own schedule for over 25 years — and I have taught at UBC. This is what I wish someone had told me at graduation.
I work with dentists at every stage of the career arc.
Whether you just graduated, you're a few years in and questioning your direction, or you've been running a practice for years — if you want to build something deliberate, this is for you.
New Graduates
You just finished dental school and the real decisions are starting — contracts, compensation, clinical confidence, career direction. I help you navigate the first three years without the mistakes most dentists make.

You're 2–5 years in, past the survival stage, and asking bigger questions. Should I stay associate? Go for ownership? Specialize? I help you build clarity on direction and make the moves that actually compound.
Join the communityPractice Owners
You own a practice but it owns you back. I help practice owners build the systems, team, and structure that lets them work less, earn more, and actually enjoy what they built.
See practice owner resourcesI built the career I wanted. Now I help dentists do the same.
I graduated from UBC Dental School and have been practicing for over 25 years. I've owned my practice, Southridge Dental in Surrey BC, since 2006 — running it on three days a week while building a career that fits my life, not the other way around. I'm still in the chair, still seeing patients, and have taught at UBC. Level Up Blueprint is what happens when 25 years of real experience meets a genuine commitment to helping the next generation do it better.
Over those 25 years I've invested well over six figures in continuing education, mentorship, and learning from the best practitioners in North America. Everything I teach comes from that investment — distilled so you don't have to spend the same time and money figuring it out yourself.
Readiness is built through action, not preparation. You earn confidence in the chair — not before you sit down in it.

This is for you if
- You just graduated and the real decisions are starting — contracts, compensation, career direction
- You're a few years in and questioning whether you're building toward the right thing
- You own a practice but feel like it runs you instead of the other way around
- You've invested in CE but never had a mentor who could connect the dots for your specific situation
- You want to build a career and practice that fit your life — not just survive the next few years
- You're ready to stop guessing and start making intentional decisions
This is not for you if
- You're looking for a shortcut or a system that runs itself without any work from you
- You're not willing to look honestly at what's holding you back
- You want someone to make the decisions for you rather than help you make better ones
- You're satisfied with where you are and not looking to grow
What dentists are saying.
Early cohort launching soon. Here's what we're hearing from the first students and practice owners going through the program.
"I signed my first associate contract without really understanding the non-compete clause. After going through San's program I went back and renegotiated. The radius was cut in half and I got a 6-month review built in. That conversation alone was worth everything."
"I was three months into my first job and already questioning everything. San helped me realize I wasn't in the wrong career — I was in the wrong practice. I made the move, doubled my production, and actually enjoy going to work now."
"I'd been running my practice for 8 years and still working 5 days a week with nothing systematized. Within 90 days of working with San I had an associate onboarded, a morning huddle system that actually worked, and I dropped to 4 days. Life-changing is not an exaggeration."
"San doesn't give you generic business advice dressed up in dental language. He's still in the chair, still running a practice, and everything he teaches comes from that. I've done other coaching programs. This is different."

What patients say about Dr. Bhatha.
Over 25 years of practice. Hundreds of five-star reviews on Google.
"Dr. Bhatha is the friendliest, most positive dentist I've ever met. Fit me in a week early to redo a filling and gave me a gift certificate for my trouble. Rock star customer service. I will keep referring him."
"I hated going to the dentist. Bad experiences throughout my early years resulted in me not going for 7 years. Southridge Dental is amazing. They really make you feel comfortable and keep you informed. Dr. Bhatha — 10 out of 10."
"Fantastic experience from the first welcome at reception to the interactions with Dr. Bhatha. I came under a referral but was so impressed with the new patient consultation I switched over immediately. No hesitation recommending him."
"Thanks Dr. Bhatha for taking care of Nav's toothache on such short notice — otherwise our enjoyment at my brother's wedding would have been impacted. So grateful for the care and quick response."
