DENTAL PRACTICE MANAGEMENT

The success of your dental business is dependent not only on training staff well and having a high performing team, but also on designing and implementing practical and effective systems, processes, and metrics to manage the day-to-day operations of your practice.  

I consult with Dental Practice Owners to problem solve and find solutions that best suit the practice.

My 4Ps approach to Dental Practice Management

I believe that if a Dental Practice invests in it’s people, continuously improves all it’s business processes, controls purchases and wastage, then success in the form of high production and a happy workplace is bound to follow.

Your staff are your most valued asset.

Developing teams with clear focus and clarity on their job responsibilities and providing them with the right tools to empower them is the focus. Investing in regular continuous quality training of all staff increases staff engagement and thereby staff retention.

I provide Team Building and Dental Staff Training Courses for Dental Assistants, Dental Receptionists, Dental Practice Managers, Dental Owners, Dental Treatment Coordinators, Dental Clinic Coordinators and Dental teams as a whole. Performance Appraisals, Staff Engagement and Staff Retention, Leadership, Company Culture are other areas we focus on.

p3: purchases & overheads

Controlling and reducing costs improve productivity.
DON'T LET HIGH OVERHEADS EAT INTO YOUR PROFITS.

Managing costs of running a business especially a Dental Business are huge! This can easily get out of hand if you loose sight of cost of overheads.

I assist practices understand and manage the cost of running a dental practice. I focus on setting up sound systems and processes for the purchase and reduction of cost of dental stock and supplies, instruments and equipment and reduce overheads. A sound rostering system that ties in with HPSS awards, all linked with accounting software helps manage staffing and overtime costs.

Working hard but not seeing any changes in the bottom line. Need someone to appraise what's going on? Need better systems to manage overheads in purchasing or staff costs? We have some powerful tools that will help you reduce overheads.

P4: Production

Setting and achieving Business Production Goals is important.
GIVE YOURSELF A REASON TO SMILE.

Understand the high costs of running a dental business. Meet all your obligations and get paid well for all the hard work that goes into being a Dentist and Owner. Monitor Key Performance Indicators closely.

Increasing production does not happen overnight by attending a course. It is the end result of fine tuning many aspects of the business mainly PEOPLE, PROCESSES, PURCHASES AND COSTS. Other areas I focus on is Internal Dental Marketing strategies to grow the patient base.

I have developed a strong 12 step approach for Dentists and TCs to increase dental case acceptance. Producing Dental Dashboards that report on Dental KPI so as to guide the practice into reaching production goals is our forte along with showing how to use P&L and cashflow statements.

Do you have a clear financial roadmap of where you are headed? Do you know how to read your cashflow, forecast your profit and loss and make sense of all the other financial reports? Do you know what your practice is worth ? The EBITDA number? Do you rely just on the dental software reports? Let us help you have 20/20 vision of the health of your business with advanced excel tools like Power Bi, Power Pivot, Dashboarding, VBA in reporting.
