The Problem

Production is a vanity number until it is collected

Dentistry has the best benchmark data of any healthcare vertical, and most practices never get compared against it. Overhead drifts a few points a year and nobody notices until the practice is worth less.

The production-to-collections gap

Scheduled, produced, adjusted, collected. Four different numbers. We report all four so write-offs and adjustments stop hiding inside production.

Overhead against dental benchmarks

Staff, supplies, lab, facility, and marketing each have a target range. We show your percentages against them and name the category that is out of line.

Associate buy-ins and DSO offers

A buy-in or an acquisition offer is the largest financial event of your career. We model the after-tax outcome before you are negotiating under pressure.

The economics

What we watch in a dental practice

Every specialty has a handful of numbers that decide the year. These are the ones we put in front of you monthly, with the planning ranges we work against.

Dental practice scorecardPlanning ranges
Production to collections98%+
Doctor compensation as a share of collections25–35%
Hygiene as a share of collections25–33%
Supplies and lab10–15%
Front-office and admin payroll12–18%
Days in accounts receivable25–35
Operating margin18–30%

Why these three matter most

  • The production-to-collections gap is the tellStrong production with weak collections points at write-offs, adjustments or a scheduling problem — not at demand.
  • Hygiene should carry itselfHygiene that does not cover its own cost plus a margin is usually a scheduling or fee-schedule issue, and it is fixable.
  • Before you answer a DSOOffers are priced on adjusted EBITDA, not collections. Knowing your own bridge first is the difference between negotiating and accepting.

These are planning ranges we work against in engagements, not published survey data. Healthy figures vary by payer mix, geography, entity structure and stage — a practice outside a range is not necessarily unhealthy, it is a question worth asking. We benchmark you against your own trend first.

Questions

From messy books to a real financial partner

Every quarter. Staff, supplies, lab, facility, and marketing as a percentage of collections, compared against practices of your size and specialty, with the outliers called out rather than buried in a report.
Yes, from both sides. Practice valuation, financing structure, tax treatment of the transaction, and what the post-buy-in compensation actually nets each party.
Bring it to us before you respond. We model the after-tax proceeds, the earnout risk, and what your compensation looks like as an employee of the group, so you can compare it against staying independent.
