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.
