One of the biggest misconceptions about owning a dental practice is that clinical excellence alone guarantees success.
In reality, many new owners struggle not because they are poor dentists but because they underestimated the business side of ownership.
Here are three areas that commonly cause problems:
1. Poor financial planning
Without proper cashflow forecasting and funding strategy, even profitable practices can face liquidity issues in the early stages.
2. Weak location and demographic research
Choosing the wrong area can limit patient demand from day one. Understanding local population trends and competition is critical.
3. No clear growth strategy
Many practices open without a long-term vision which affects branding, pricing, staffing, and marketing decisions.
At the Setting Up in Practice Bootcamp, we spend significant time on these fundamentals because they shape everything that follows.
You’ll learn:
How to structure a business plan that lenders and investors respect
What metrics actually matter when evaluating a practice
How to position your practice for long-term valuation growth
How marketing, branding, and patient experience link directly to profitability
Our goal isn’t just to help you “open a practice”. It’s to help you build a financially healthy, scalable dental business.
If ownership is on your horizon, this knowledge becomes your competitive advantage.
Speak soon,
Arun
