According
to a study by the American Dental Association, 80 percent of newly graduated
dentists start their own dental practices within five years of graduating. This
trend can be traced back to the fact that there are fewer dental associate
positions available and that starting a dental
practice is more profitable than being an associate.
Unfortunately,
some younger dentists rush into starting their own practices and in the process
overlook important factors that are integral to their success. Others
penny-pinch in areas where spending immediately actually leads to more
profitability down the road. With these things in mind, here are a few tips for
starting a dental practice:
Management
Software
The
hallmark of a great business is efficiency. You can easily increase your
practice’s efficiency by using the appropriate management software to automate
certain tasks like filing, scheduling, and balancing financial information. The
right tools can enable you and your staff to focus on providing the best care to
your patients.
Team
Building
Great
dental staff members help your practice the most through interacting with your
patients and making them feel at home, thereby increasing the chances of
patients coming back and referring your practice to their friends. The ideal
staff members can be difficult to come by on your own and are always in high
demand, so do not hesitate to spend on recruitment services.
