A growing dental practice or group runs on numbers a generalist bookkeeper rarely tracks: production vs. collections, overhead as a percent of collections, and profitability by location or provider. It's common for a practice to add chairs and locations while margin quietly erodes. We keep the books clean and give you the controller-level view — so you know which locations and services actually make money, and where overhead is creeping.
The numbers that matter in dental practices
- Production vs. collections, tracked monthly
- Overhead as a percent of collections (the number that predicts profit)
- Profitability by location and, where useful, by provider
- Supply and lab costs as a share of production
- Payroll and associate compensation against benchmarks
Two ways we help dental practices:
Bookkeeping gets your books clean and reliable. Controller services turn those numbers into the decisions above.
Talk about your dental practice businessCommon questions
Do you work with multi-location dental groups?
Yes. Comparing locations on the same metrics — and seeing which are funding the group and which are dragging — is exactly the controller-level work we do.
Can you work with our practice management software?
Yes. We reconcile the financial picture against your PM system so production, collections, and margin all tie out.
What should a dental practice's overhead percentage be?
It varies, but most healthy practices watch overhead closely as a percent of collections and act when it drifts. We'll show you where yours sits and what's driving it.
