Dental Practice

The Challenges of Being a Dentist Entrepreneur Practice Owner/Executive

Running and growing a dental practice is no small feat. You live and breathe the challenges daily, but have you ever stopped to consider what makes it so demanding?

A typical dental practice brings in $1.5M–$5M annually, often operating out of a single location. But here’s the reality: it’s heavily dependent on you, the dentist entrepreneur, for both revenue and leadership. Without you in the chair or managing the team, there’s no production, no revenue, and no one steering the ship.

So how do you take that next step in growth, how do you successfully grow your dental practice into a business?

It’s hard to grow when you’re responsible for everything.

  • You’re in the chair treating patients, often daily.
  • You’re managing staff and trying to retain or train associates.
  • You’re juggling systems (if you have them), monitoring KPIs, and keeping track of finances.
  • You’re constantly troubleshooting instead of focusing on growth.

How do you take that next step? How do you transform your practice into a business that doesn’t collapse without you?

The answer is simple: you need time to lead.

At this stage, the biggest needle-mover for your business is stepping out of the chair and working on the business—not just in it. You need time to define your vision, implement systems, and lead your team effectively. Whether your goal is to increase revenue, grow locations, or both, you need a blueprint for creating a self-sustaining business.
