Prior to Next Level coming along side our office, I had recently moved into the office manager position after 20 years with the office. I was aware of what our focus was and that we needed to reach certain goals, but I was not equipped to teach and convey that well to our team. Paula stepped in and made big impact with our hygiene team and helped me create efficient SOP's the whole team could understand and put into practice. She also built up our leadership team, along with Michael's help. We had a difficult time making our team cohesive after some major additions and they gave up a great deal of tips and perspective on how to move forward as a whole unit. I am truly thankful for the time, dedication, and honesty through our journey with Next Level!

Stafani and Pedro and team do a phenomenal job at my dental billing! They are reasonably priced, and do a fantastic job with the billing and the payments come in really fast! Thanks Stafani and team! You guys are the best!!

We started working with Next Level Consultants in June 2024, and the transformation in our practice has been incredible. When we began, our dental ledgers were extremely behind due to claims not being posted in a timely manner. It felt overwhelming. Since partnering with your billing team, our books have been cleaned up tremendously, insurance claims are coming in and being posted promptly, and our accounts are finally organized and accurate.

Beyond billing, the coaching and support have been invaluable. As an office manager, I have personally benefited from the guidance provided. You check in with us every two weeks, help us work through any challenges that arise, and are always quick to respond. What truly sets your team apart is the willingness to jump in and help resolve issues instead of just advising from the sidelines.

Our office has come such a long way in a short amount of time, and we genuinely feel more confident and in control of our day-to-day operations. You’ve helped us streamline systems, improve efficiency, and even identify resources to increase production in our schedule.

Most importantly, you are simply great people to work with — professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in our success. We are incredibly thankful for everything Next Level Consultants has done for our practice and highly recommend your team to anyone looking to elevate their office.

We worked with Michael and Paula for a short time due to some changes in our practice, but the time we had with them was truly great. Their clear communication and strong dental industry knowledge were incredibly helpful. Even though our practice already runs smoothly, the added education, perspective, and support they provided made a real difference. Michael and Paula are both very real, approachable, and down to earth, which made working with them easy and enjoyable. We truly appreciated their guidance and would recommend them to any practice looking to level up.

Always a pleasure working with and listening to Paula. The education she provides is well thought out and provides the most up to date industry standard. She is so knowledgeable when it comes to all things Dental Hygiene!

Arriana Arnell

This program was great especially as they had flexible times available to take the course. Stafani was able to teach me ways to optimize my time. There were some parts of the course that we were able to power through as I did not need as much help with these. This was a great option so we could really focus our time on the areas that I needed the most help with. Highly recommend this to everyone.

Lafayette Dental Experience

Next Level has been incredibly helpful to us. They have streamlined our operations and significantly reduced the time we spend on insurance. We are thoroughly enjoying working with them and are eager to continue!

A PERSONALIZED APPROACH

TO DENTAL PRACTICE MANAGEMENT

Leadership & Team Development 

We'll help you be a better communicator and excellent listener in your practice! Being a leader in your business means determining what your team or patients want and then providing precisely what they need to achieve the results you're looking for. Ultimately, you'll develop more confidence, and your team will be excited and eager to work their hardest for you as you create that team culture and leadership dynamic.

Operational Efficiency

Dental practice management is working with your team and implementing organized systems that make your team's lives much easier when it comes to scheduling, treatment, and billing. As a result, your team can enjoy the work they're doing on a daily basis. There will be less turnover, and team members won't just be expecting to get paid more. They will actually enjoy the work they are doing! Your patients will also see a difference in how well your team works together. Patients will feel the same joy and excitement that comes from your team's success.

Profitability & Finances

Working with a dental practice consultant increases your bottom line. We can achieve this without spending extra hours at the office or providing a ton of new services you're not excited about. Small tweaks can often lead to significant gains! But let's look at it together and identify where those gains can be made.

Overall Patient Experience

Enhance the patient experience by identifying opportunities to streamline operations, improve communication, and foster a welcoming environment. Work with your team to refine every touchpoint and handoffs throughout the patient journey—from appointment scheduling and check-in processes to treatment delivery and follow-up care. By training staff in patient-centric communication strategies, ensuring seamless transitions between departments, and optimizing office workflows, we can help create a consistent, stress-free experience that builds trust and loyalty.

Hygiene Department ROI

In addition to working with your dental front office team members, Next Level Consultants can also help you with your clinical team. A dental practice management coach can evaluate your back office workflows by looking at how scheduling and procedures are being done. You can start working with a knowledgeable consultant to identify areas for growth in your hygiene department. By doing this, your hygiene department can become more profitable, getting you a higher return on investment on hygienist salaries.

Marketing & Growth Strategies

Work with dental consultants to grow your practice organically. Gain new patients with external marketing, implement best practices to create referrals and word of mouth, social media posts, mailers, postcards, or even in-person events! We explore all marketing strategies that work in your market. We also show you how to track the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns to ensure that dollars spent are making a difference in accumulating new patient growth.
