Whether you’re looking to sell your dental practice or just purchased one, increasing your production should be top of mind. Here are five ways to increase production of your dental practice both before or after a transition.
Scope of services
One of the most efficient and profitable ways to grow your general practice is to bring on a specialist or multiple specialists, as long as the patient need and office space is available. Alternatively, an in-house dentist can also start offering more services, such as extractions, orthodontics, and endodontics.
Marketing
As with any business model, proper marketing can translate into a better bottom line. When it comes to marketing your new or existing dental practice, the focus should be on new patient referral programs, among other efforts.
Staffing
With a new practice, what worked for the previous owner might not for you, especially if bringing on your own staff. Consider hygiene and operative schedules, as well as a different payroll strategy for staff, including benefits, dates, and pay rate.
Office hours
The days and hours your office is open is one of the many factors that contribute to the valuation of your dental practice outlined in a prospectus. Expanding hours to lower overhead should only be done after first ensuring the demand is there.
In-network insurance
After a dental practice transition, shopping other insurance companies will make sure you’re offering the best coverage for your current patient base, while also opening the door to new patients.
