Tips to Increase Dental Practice Revenue

Did you know approximately 200,000 dentists are operating in the United States? It’s predicted that this number will continue to rise in the coming years. Since there is so much competition, you may wonder how to build a profitable dental practice.

Do you want to take your dental practice to the next level? If so, keep reading. Below you can learn some effective ways to increase dental profits and improve your patient’s experience.

Invest in Digital Marketing

To make a profit, people must know you exist. Most people start their search for a dentist online. You need to ensure your dental office and services are showing up for this search. The best way to do this is by investing in dental SEO. The right SEO tactics for your dental practice can help ensure you show up at the top of search results and that patients find you rather than your competition.

Create a Welcoming Office Culture

Along with investing in dental SEO, it’s important to determine what makes your practice different from others. Once you know what this is, you can begin creating an office culture built on that identity.

Your expectations, behaviors, systems, values, and personality all play a role in your leadership style. These are all things that impact how your staff communicates with each other and your patients.

Remember, everything can impact office culture. This includes the social structure, the doctors you choose, and the music played in the waiting areas. Embracing your unique office culture can help you keep patients coming back, attract higher-quality staff, and boost productivity.

Take time to gather your team to discuss the day-to-day operations of your practice and your long-term goals. You can also ask your staff to contribute to the discussion and find out what they consider important. Sharing everything will help ensure that everyone is on the same page and that you are all working toward the same objective.

Be Sure Your Staff Is Properly Trained

The person behind your reception desk is usually the first point of contact your patients have with the office. This individual can also improve or ruin their entire experience.

You need to ensure that your entire staff is properly trained on how to interact with patients in a welcoming and professional manner. They should also have great communication skills.

Having a well-trained staff is a must if you want to ensure your dental practice is successful and profitable. Be sure your team knows how to make the most of every patient interaction, which can help improve the relationship. You may want to invest in once-a-year training for staff members, too, which can be beneficial for patient experience.

Create Annual Fee Increases

Planning a small fee increase each year is a smart way to increase revenue without too much of a shock to your patients. Some practices miss out on these smaller increases and will fall behind. When increasing your fees, make it modest by ensuring it is no more than two to three percent. After all, if your fees are too high, your patients may go elsewhere for care.

Expand Your Service Offerings

The more procedures you provide your patients, the fewer patients that you have to see to achieve your revenue goals. You don’t have to find 1,000 different patients for cleanings if you have several patients getting multiple procedures done.

Think about other procedures you could add to what you currently offer. Some examples include soft tissue programs, sedation, oral surgery, occlusal guards, Invisalign, and more. Figure out what makes sense for your practice and increase your offerings.

If you want to increase your dental practice’s revenue, make sure that you keep the tips and information here in mind. Doing this will help ensure you are successful and that your practice is a preferred option by your patients, which is crucial to ensure your ongoing success and growth in this industry.
