01 — About the writer

Strengths that make teams work.

Phil Graves, MBA, COO of Brevard Endodontics, has been a passionate dental professional since 2016 and is based in Melbourne, Florida. Working alongside assistants, hygienists, front desk teams, and dentists showed him how often talented people are misunderstood or burned out because their natural strengths are not aligned with their roles.

Phil created Dental Strengths and its original 32-tooth model to give dental practices a memorable, practical framework for reducing conflict, improving communication, increasing retention, and elevating patient care. He continues to expand the system through Care Strengths: The Vital Signs Model, a sister framework for mixed medical care teams.
