Business Management and Philosophies for the Emerging Private Practice Dentist

With dental student debts sky-rocketing to often over $300,000, the idea of buying, owning, and operating a dental practice can seem daunting for the new dentist and emerging dental students. A pool of debt combined with the lack of business education provided in Dental Schools can quickly become stressful and daunting for the young dentist hoping to operate his or her own practice. This research text was created with the goal of alleviating that problem. 'Business Management and Philosophies for the Emerging Private Practice Dentist' is the accumulation of over an entire year of research, trend analysis, and hours of one-on-one interviews with 10 private practice owning dentists. Many Dental Practice Management books today simply offer one dentist's opinion on what works and what does not in the business realm of our profession. 'Emerging' is a rare text which presents an objective look at 10 different practices, allowing you to see what works and what does not. Within you will be able to compare your style of practice to other dentists who have been there before and found success, as well as failures. Understanding our business of dentistry is a mandatory tool to thrive and succeed in the future of our profession. This in-depth piece will allow you to delve into business management and philosophies of dentists from a diverse range of backgrounds and practice styles. Dentistry is a profession dominated by largely independently operating business men and women. If the dental community wishes to retain the autonomy it has seen in past decades, a realistic level of significance must be placed on operational business education. In this booklet, you will be exposed to strategies and methods used by real practicing dentists in the topics of Business Organization, Competitive Strategies, Modern Marketing Strategies, Dental Team Structure, Profitable Production and more.
