For many dental practice owners, PPO participation feels less like a strategic choice and more like a trap they fell into years ago and never escaped. Reimbursement rates stagnate or decline, overhead continues to rise, and the pressure to do more dentistry in less time becomes relentless. Somewhere along the way, the practice you built to deliver thoughtful, high-quality care starts to feel like a volume business you no longer control. Despite this frustration, most dentists stay in PPOs far longer than they want to. Not because they believe PPOs […]

Most dental marketing isn’t bringing you new patients. It’s expensive, ineffective, and lacks both strategy and creativity. Whether you run a single-location practice or manage a multi-location DSO, the marketing challenges are remarkably similar. Practices across the country find themselves trapped in what we call “the cycle of mediocrity,” a frustrating treadmill of wasted marketing dollars with little to show for it. At the recent DentiMax Tech Summit, Sean from Art of Dental Marketing shared insights into why dental marketing fails so consistently and, more importantly, how practices can break […]

Most people don’t decide they want to be a dentist at 12 years old. Even fewer decide, at that age, that they want to own their own practice someday. Dr. DeAngelo Webster did both. Long before dental school, he pictured himself running his own office. The dentist who treated him growing up owned his practice, and that example stuck. By the time he reached dental school, ownership wasn’t a vague goal. It was the plan. What makes Dr. Webster’s story unusual is not just that he became a practice owner, […]

Running a dental practice means wearing many hats: clinician, manager, leader, and sometimes accountant. While most dentists prefer focusing on patient care, the reality is that understanding dental practice accounting is vital for a thriving, financially healthy practice. Proper accounting isn’t just about keeping books in order; it’s about clarity, knowing where your revenue comes from, which services drive profitability, and how to forecast sustainable growth. This essential function ensures that the revenue generated from procedures, insurance reimbursements, and patient payments is accurately tracked and reconciled. Yet, many practices still […]

Running a successful dental practice requires more than clinical excellence. It means balancing two equally important priorities: providing excellent patient care and maintaining financial health. While dentists often focus on clinical outcomes, the revenue cycle is what keeps the practice sustainable. Inefficient billing, coding errors, or delayed insurance reimbursements can significantly impact cash flow. That’s why Dental Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) has become a cornerstone of practice success. For many practices, managing RCM manually is overwhelming and error-prone. That’s why modern dental practice management software has become indispensable. With tools […]

Managing a dental office comes with a variety of responsibilities—from ensuring patient comfort to maintaining top-notch clinical standards. However, one critical component that often causes stress for dental professionals is medical billing. According to 2740 Consulting, dentists in the U.S. have a yearly claim collection rate of only about 84 percent. This often results from inefficient dental billing practices, like errors during the claim submission process and poor recordkeeping/follow-ups. Navigating medical billing in a dental office can often feel like entering a maze with complex codes, fluctuating insurance policies, and […]

If you’re considering a career in the dental field or looking to expand your qualifications, obtaining a dental X-ray certification is a smart and rewarding step. Both dental assistants and dental hygienists are commonly involved in taking X-rays, though their roles differ; assistants typically support the dentist during procedures and may take X-rays under supervision, while hygienists often perform X-rays as part of routine patient care with greater autonomy. Earning certification not only enhances your skill set but also opens the door to more responsibilities and better job opportunities. Here’s […]

Dental X-rays are a critical diagnostic tool in modern dentistry, helping professionals detect issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. But not all X-rays are created equal. While both intraoral and extraoral X-rays serve the same overarching purpose – helping dentists visualize teeth, bones, and tissues – they differ significantly in technique, purpose, and scope. Let’s break down the differences to help you better understand which imaging type suits which clinical need. What Are Intraoral X-Rays? Intraoral X-rays are taken from inside the mouth. These are the most common […]
