Practice Health Benchmark

The Practice Health Benchmark is a diagnostic tool for dental practice owners. It evaluates your overhead structure, revenue, staffing, and compensation against dental-specific benchmarks — producing a clear assessment of where your practice is performing well and where there may be pressure.

Results include an overall practice assessment, an overhead breakdown, and individual metric comparisons against benchmark ranges. The analysis is educational and directional. It does not constitute individualized financial advice.

Six figures, and you will see where your practice stands

Estimates are fine. You can read all six off your last year’s profit and loss statement.

What you actually collected last year.

Treatment rooms you are set up to run.

How many of you share the profit, including you.

Your hygienists, assistants, and front office wages, benefits, and payroll taxes.

$

Every expense from toothpaste to hygienists’ wages, except for dentist pay.

What you pay dentists who are not owners. Enter 0 if you have none.

The full analysis

The full analysis takes approximately five minutes. You will need your most recent annual collections, overhead costs by category, and staff compensation figures. Estimates are acceptable — this is a diagnostic, not an audit. It returns every metric, your overhead broken down by category, and the findings worth looking at first.

Common questions

Where do the benchmarks come from?

Publicly available dental-industry sources — ADA Health Policy Institute data and practice transition and valuation literature. The ranges are directional and refined over time.

Is anything I enter saved?

The quick read is not saved at all. It runs in your browser and nothing leaves it. If you go on to the full analysis, those figures and results are stored in anonymous, de-identified form — no name, email, or personal information is attached, and location is kept only to the first three ZIP digits. A first-party cookie holds a random identifier so a re-run is not double-counted as the firm refines the benchmark methodology. Using either creates no account.

Does this replace a full analysis?

No. It is a starting point — a directional diagnostic, educational and not individualized advice. A full analysis considers your specific situation, timeline, and goals.

Do specialty practices use different benchmarks?

Specialty analyses use general-practice ranges, and the results disclose that, so read the comparisons for a specialty practice directionally.
