Specialist accounting · Dental practices

Specialist accounting that finds the profit hiding in your practice.

Most practices are busy but can’t see what’s really making — and losing — money. We read your numbers like a clinician reads a chart: diagnose what’s wrong, prescribe what to do, and track you back to health. Every month, not once a year.

The diagnosis most practices never get

You run thousands of appointments a year. So why is it so hard to see where the money goes?

Dentistry is a high-fixed-cost business with a dozen moving parts — chair time, hygiene, treatment-plan acceptance, associate pay, lab costs and consumables. A standard set of annual accounts arrives months too late to change any of it. We think practice owners deserve to see the numbers while they can still act on them.

How the monthly dental diagnostic works

Diagnose. Prescribe. Prosper.

One clear method, delivered every month — so you’re acting on this month’s numbers, not last year’s.

01 — Diagnose

We read your vitals

We pull your Xero and practice-management data and run it through dental benchmarks: production per chair and per hour, hygiene mix, treatment-plan acceptance, lab cost and associate productivity. We find what’s bleeding before it becomes a crisis.

02 — Prescribe

We tell you what to do

No forty-page data dump. Each report ends with a short, prioritised set of actions — the two or three moves that will actually shift profit this quarter, with the estimated dollar impact beside each one.

03 — Prosper

We track you back to health

Next month we measure whether it worked, adjust, and compound the gains. Over a year, small monthly corrections build a materially more profitable — and more sellable — practice.

  • 03Treatment-plan acceptance — The single biggest lever most practices leave on the table.
  • 04Wage, chair & lab efficiency — Labour per chair-hour and lab cost as a share of production, flagged when they drift.

Why a dental specialist

We already speak your language.

A generalist accountant learns your practice on your time. We start where you are — because dental economics are their own discipline.

01

Production & collections

We track production per chair and per hour, and the gap between what you produce and what you actually collect.

02

Dentistry vs hygiene

We separate restorative from hygiene so you can see — and grow — the margin in each, not a blended average.

03

Treatment-plan acceptance

Small shifts in acceptance move more profit than almost anything else. We measure it and help you lift it.

04

Chair & diary utilisation

Idle chair time is invisible on a P&L. We surface it — and the revenue it’s quietly costing you.

05

Lab & consumables control

Lab cost and remake rates are a real margin leak. We track them as a share of production and flag the drift.

06

Built to be sellable

With corporates buying practices, clean, provable monthly earnings are exactly what a buyer pays a premium for.

Scoped around your practice

We tailor what we do — and what it costs — to you.

We don’t sell one-size packages. Where your practice is at decides the right mix of reporting and advice, and the fee is agreed with you up front — clear and transparent, no surprise invoices. The three levels below are starting points for a conversation.
