About this Event
Being a great dentist doesn’t automatically prepare you to run a great dental practice. From numbers and patient growth to leading a team, practice ownership brings a whole new set of challenges. Spend one practical day working on your practice, not just in it, and leave with greater clarity on what to focus on next.
What will you get out of it?
Practical guidance across the areas that can make a real difference to how you run and grow your practice:
Know your numbers
Better understand the financial fundamentals behind a healthy practice and make more confident growth decisions.
Build sustainable patient demand
Understand what drives new patients and how to tell whether your marketing is actually working.
Know your market
Explore how location, demographics, competition and demand can influence practice performance.
Become a better leader
Build, lead and retain a stronger team — without feeling like you have to do everything yourself.
Protect what you’re building
Understand how your risks and responsibilities change as your practice grows.
Tackle real practice challenges
Learn from real practice experiences, ask questions and turn what you learn into practical next steps for your own business.
Learn from people who work with dental practices every day across finance, growth, marketing, leadership and risk.
