You Shouldn't Have to Guess Your Overhead.
Let's find out what it actually is, what it should be, and exactly what it takes to get there.
I'll walk through your numbers with you, implementing a dental-specific Chart of Account to see exactly where your overhead stands today. Then, based on your specialty, location, team size, and other factors, I'll calculate the reference point your practice should actually be aiming for.
Built by a 12+ year dental practice insider — not an outside consultant.
Why Your Overhead Feels Out of Control
Most dentists don't have a spending problem. They have a visibility problem.
Your bookkeeping software probably uses a generic Chart of Accounts, the same template used for a retail shop or other businesses. It lumps together expenses that should be separated, hides where your real overhead leaks are, and gives you a P&L that looks fine but doesn't tell you the truth.
The result? You compare yourself to a "62% overhead average" you found online, a number that has nothing to do with your practice, your location, or your specialty.
You don't need a generic benchmark. You need your own.
Not Another Bookkeeper. An Insider Who's Lived It.
I didn't learn dental practice finances from a textbook. I've been the Office Manager inside a dental practice since before it opened its doors, over 12 years managing the real, day-to-day financial pressure points that outside consultants never see: staffing costs, supply waste, insurance reimbursement timing, and the dozens of small leaks that quietly eat your margin.
I'm also an Economist, Certified Bookkeeper (AIPB) and QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, so I bring both the insider's eye and the technical precision to back it up.
That combination is what Dental Overhead Solutions is built on: real practice experience + real financial expertise, applied only to dentistry.
