Increase Your Dental Practice Valuation
The ADA reports that dental-patient volume continues to pace at about 85% of pre-pandemic levels, while Patient NEWS dental marketing clients are at 115% of pre-covid numbers. That is going to help them build an improved practice valuation and successful sale … the long-term goal of just about every dentist.
The truth behind what keeps these practices humming well ahead of industry average really boils down to strength, commitment, belief, passion, and very often, great personalities! We’ve been at this dental thing for 28 years, and consistently our most successful clients are the nicest and most interested folks! They know what they want and are committed to and invest in great patient and community communication, typically have a higher focus on maintaining a great team, one that is involved in practice goals, and they ALL monitor their key performance metrics. Not every metric, every time, but a good enough mix of the key metrics that it all comes together.
We’re on the downhill side of 2021, so you have to ask yourself how you are pacing to end the year. Have you checked your metrics and trends recently?

Recently WHO declared oral health a global health priority due to the importance of oral health on overall health. We’ve been helping our clients educate their patients about this very link for decades. Just as there is a link between oral and overall health, and there is a link between patient education and practice production – the reason our clients are 30% ahead of industry average.
Here is a snapshot of the dental industry data for your comparison.
Patient education, as one of my favorite clients always says, is the “right thing to do.” When you educate patients, you build confidence, certainty, and long-term commitment because you’re offering best-in-class service. That results in being one of those Top 10% of dentists with great metrics.
Patient communication builds health for your patients and health for your practice.
The future of your practice is happening now. The decisions you make today, guided by the data you have, will drive practice valuation one way or the other. Take the next step toward getting more value from your metrics and practice data with a free demo today.
