Ep. 86 | Owning It at 26 | Dr. Jessica Britten-Fazzio

Dr. Jessica Britten-Fazzio is the dentist who said "yes" to practice ownership at 26… and then never looked back. In this episode of MB2 Underground, Dr. Britten walks us through buying a true time-capsule office (yes, there was carpet in the operatories and appointments were booked on paper), earning trust as the "new sheriff in town," and modernizing her practice one project at a time.

Along the way, we get the story of her legendary cadaver-museum engagement, her unexpected path from psychology major to science-obsessed dentist, and what it really took to juggle ownership, maternity leave, two kids under two, and doing payroll from the hospital. Dr. Britten also shares how CAD/CAM and same-day dentistry transformed her clinical joy, why partnering with MB2 helped her reclaim balance, and what she believes matters most as dentistry moves toward AI and tech: genuine human connection, community roots, and treating every patient like family.

If you've ever wondered when (or whether) you're "ready" for ownership, this one's your nudge: take the leap, learn fast, and keep going.
