Mastering Your Practice's Capacity: The Numbers Nobody Taught You

I’m diving into a game-changing topic for dental practice owners: understanding capacity in a way that elevates efficiency and profit. I’m breaking down the three essential modes of capacity—physical space, time, and people—and how each impacts your practice's ability to grow and serve more patients. Let’s start with the physical space component: the impact of the amount of space in your building. Next, we’ll explore the impact of the time component on your capacity.
 

Then there’s the people component—one of the most crucial aspects of capacity. I’ll explain why having the right staff and optimizing their roles can make or break the success of your practice. It’s not just about filling positions; it’s about understanding how each role contributes to your overall capacity. We’ll talk about the critical task of tracking active patients, using doctor-side metrics to evaluate productivity, and how to keep a close eye on financial and scheduling metrics that drive growth. This episode isn’t just a capacity check—it’s a blueprint for building a practice that’s primed for scalable success. Tune in to learn how these strategies can take your practice to the next level!
