The History
Of DSI
Dr. Mark Costes founded the Dental Success Institute (DSI) in 2012 after developing a formula that transformed several dental practices into highly profitable enterprises. His vision was to create a community of like-minded dental professionals dedicated to supporting each other in achieving both professional and personal success. Dr. Costes aimed to equip his peers with the tools and insights needed to navigate the industry, helping them overcome the challenges he faced throughout his own career.
What began as a small group of individuals personally coached by Dr. Costes has grown exponentially. Today, DSI proudly serves 250 private elite practice mastermind members and boasts an impressive network of Black Belt Coaches across the country. This community continues to expand, offering its members unparalleled support and a wealth of resources to help them thrive in their practices and beyond.

Tier Overview
Our Misson
The Mission of the Dental Success Institute is to help dentists achieve their full potential in business and in life. Once a dental practice transitions from being team-dependent to systems-dependent, the owner can achieve an optimized work-life schedule, reduced career-related stress, and enhanced overall well-being. This shift also leads to greater operational efficiency, allowing for sustained growth and long-term success.
Our Vision
At the Dental Success Institute, we strive to lead the evolution of dental practice leadership & practice management by providing cutting-edge techniques and fostering a supportive community. Our commitment is to empower dental professionals with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve excellence in both their professional and personal lives.
Our Philosophy
The true measure of a dental practice's success lies in its financial performance. Equally important, personal success is reflected in the quality of relationships you build. The DSI community provides comprehensive resources to foster growth and success at every stage of your professional and personal journey.
The DSI Ethos
PERSONAL INTEGRITY: I will conduct my life with the highest moral standards and will honor the commitments that I make to myself and others.
SELF AWARENESS: I will strive to have a clear definition of my ideal future in all areas of my personal and business life and will utilize all available resources to approach this ideal.
DISCIPLINE: I will exercise self-control and recognize that the ability to endure discomfort and inconvenience as well as delay immediate gratification will often lead to greater future rewards.
GRIT: I understand that I will encounter challenges, failures and frustrations on my journey, but I commit to overcoming and learning from each of them.
PASSION: I acknowledge that I have infinite potential to make a positive impact during my time on this planet and commit to living my life with purpose, vibrancy, energy and enthusiasm.
EMPATHY: I commit to approaching each of my human interactions, both personal and professional, with kindness, compassion, and understanding.
RARITY.
