Dental Practice ConsultantWorking with a dental practice consultant can help improve your business, company, and overall office functionality. You may have a growing and thriving practice, but by making simple adjustments to your operations, you can become even more profitable. As a third-party, we have the ability to identify areas for improvement that you may not see yourself.

It is not that the dentist does not know what he or she is doing or that the office team is not working effectively. It is natural to become so accustomed to things, you do not see how small changes can make all the difference. Not only can we identify areas of improvement, but because we work with dentists on a regular basis, we also understand the nature of the industry and best practices to implement with great success.

Ways to Streamline Your Operations

As a dental practice consultant, some of the ways we can help you streamline operations include:

Reviewing your staffing model

One of the first things we often do is to assess the current team. We want to know who you have on the team, what their capabilities are, and their schedule. We will then review how people work together and if any of your team is being underutilized while others are being overworked. In many cases, practices do not have the right combination of talent on the team.

The wrong combination can have some team members sitting around idle that patients are left waiting. By making some simple scheduling adjustments, you may be able to hire help for your overworked team members while cutting back on the hours of employees who simply do not have enough to do. Your team is a valuable asset and when used correctly, can cause your office to run smoothly while driving more profit to your bottom line.

Training employees

We can identify employees who want to be cross-trained so they can take on more responsibility. By providing them with additional training, you may find that your existing team is able to accomplish more during the day.

Utilizing software

When possible, we recommend software that can help streamline operations. By making it easier to do everything like schedule patients, send out appointment reminders, bill, and manage payroll, software can often save you time and money.

Changes to billing practices

Are your billing practices making it difficult for you to receive payment or slowing down your cash flow? We will look and see what you are doing currently and identify areas of improvement so you can get paid faster and your cash flow will improve.

New marketing campaigns

Dental marketing campaigns can drive new patients to your door. If yours isn’t, it is time for an overhaul, and we can show you how.
