One of the biggest issues plaguing dental organizations is legacy manual processes surrounding coding bills that drag down efficiency and profits. Why does it happen? Team members are manually coding bills… …Which is prone to errors that go unnoticed until it’s too late, requiring employees to hop back in and fix what’s broken. That’s where automation makes all the difference: A platform like CureMint, which automates the bill processing process, reveals gaps and inefficiencies in your process, and allows you to fix them. The result? Accurate billing that reflects a more organized and profitable practice, protecting your profit margins through less rework due to error.

Are your sales pitches not landing with dental groups or DSOs? Communicating effectively with DSOs is essential to showcasing the value of your services for them. 👉 Many sales pitches fail because they don't address the specific needs of the DSOs. That’s why understanding DSO differences is key to establishing an effective sales strategy. Consider important DSO characteristics such as 🔷 Corporate ownership structure 🔷 Financial performance 🔷 Size and organizational hierarchy (emerging, mid-sized, or elite) Once you have a good understanding of DSOs, you can then adapt your communication style and customize your value propositions to suit their different categories and stages. To further enhance the process, AI can be a great tool to generate valuable insights. At Patient Prism, our AI-driven analytics have helped us better understand patient behaviors and engagement patterns for over 21 million calls. After assessing phone conversations and providing continuous feedback to improve sales, we tailored our communication strategies to increase appointments and retain more patients. By optimizing your DSO communication, you can elevate your messaging to boost sales and provide high-quality patient service. Want to learn more about how to communicate with different types of DSOs?

We've been hearing a lot about the staffing shortages in the industry. Although it seems like dental school enrollment is up, it's not enough to close the gap. One of the keys we've heard is to centralize as many repeat tasks as possible, finding anyway to eliminate the admin work required by practitioners. The industry needs to close this gap, improving efficiency helps increase wages (as production per appointment goes up) which attracts new talent.

Dental PMS Software History. Another legacy on-premise PMS, Dentech, which launched over 30 years ago, is up for sale following the passing of its founder. It’s currently in due diligence for a potential sale. I’m curious to see who ends up acquiring this PMS. Most likely a PE firm. Why? Based on its website, cool cloud product, but the tank's empty and the engine's stalled. Thirty years ago, state-specific PMS solutions were emerging as the primary way to scale. This particular one has a strong presence in Michigan. Our platform help transition some offices using dentech owned by a DSO to a cloud-based PMS.

Dental practice and DSO start-ups are not smaller versions of established organizations. Most five-year business plans which attempt to forecast too many unknowns turn out to be fiction and a waste of time that could have been better spent in the field collecting customer feedback. Start-up founders and executives should focus on rapid business model iteration rooted in clinician support and patient service needs discovery and validation. Rarely will the original business plan submitted to the bank or to potential investors in a dental practice or DSO turn out to be the right one. #SinaAmiri #dentistry #startups #design #strategy
