Dos and don'ts for practice finance

Your service mix is key to increasing production

According to the Levin Group Data Center, elective treatment constitutes just 20% of most practice schedules. This is an enormous missed opportunity. The right service mix increases your practice production and makes your time chairside more varied and enjoyable.

Develop the ideal service mix. Levin Group recommends expanding the service mix to include more elective treatment. Remember that a practice with too much emphasis on single-tooth treatment is a practice that works very hard for its revenue.

Don't ignore cosmetic services. The economy may be making people more hesitant to spend money, but they still want to have a great smile. That desire is a constant, regardless of whether the economy is up or down.
