Practice Management Article:
So You're A Dentist, Now What?
By Nancy McNutt
Congratulations to all those dentists who have graduated and have earned the right to now formally be called 'Doctor'. After you take a much needed break from your studies and the pressures of exams, you are ready to 'get started'. You are a D.D.S. and want to set up your own practice and start building that wonderful dental relationship with your new patients; patients who will still be with you 25 years from now. Patients whose children will eventually come to see you and eventually their children. You have scouted out your location. You have researched other practices and know the demographics of their practice. You have found the perfect location to set up your practice. You know where you want to go, but don't know how to get there.
Perhaps you graduated 3 or 4 years ago and have associated with a dental office and are ready to take that proverbial next step. You are leaving home. You are going to give up your 'percentage' and take on 'overhead', BUT it will be your own practice. You have GREAT ideas of what you want and know you can make it work. You can set up your new practice the way you want it. You will have a consultation room and a team meeting room. You will have lots of room for your charts and new equipment. You can get that Intra Oral Camera you have always wanted, the laser you have begged for and maybe even digital xrays. After all, you have paid off those student loans. As with the new 'grad', you know where you want to go, but don't know how to get there.

The Dental Business BOOT CAMP is here! Take responsibility for the success of your practice and get your front lines trained! Our Dental Business Boot Camp will teach your business team to be pro-active, always thinking two steps ahead.
Being busy at the front desk doesn't always translate into revenue and profit. The more organized you are at the business desk, the more productive your office. Sometimes front desk teams just do what they can without knowing how to be more efficient. We're going to help you eliminate lost revenue and frustration by training your business team to be the very best.
This program is for the business team and office managers to learn how to train their team and for dentists who need to know how to run their dental practice more efficiently.
