Why Is Owning a Dental Practice So STRESSFUL?

Aug 19th, 2015

In speaking to many dentists, it has become apparent that they are worried about the future of dentistry. Many are stressed out, asking questions like: Will corporate dentistry take over?

A “Full” Schedule is Not Always a Productive Schedule

by Chris Menkhaus

Aug 12th, 2015

What is an ideal schedule? Is it being fully booked out for a period of days, weeks or months? (yikes). Not really.

In the practice of dentistry, one of the more annoying things that can happen on any given day is the missed appointment. And while a cancellation is slightly better than a no-show (at least they called, right?), it’s still lost production—a hole in the schedule—and if it happens often enough, a hole in everyone’s morale. Too much of this over…

Quality Control: The Missing Factor in Managing Your Staff

by John Austin

Jul 1st, 2015

In a dental practice, there’s a function that is almost always undervalued or neglected. Lack of this function can throw a pretty large wrench into the mix despite superior clinical, management, marketing and communication skills. The function I’m referring to is: Quality Control.
