Starting a Practice
A squat dental practice is essentially a practice started from scratch, usually with a single surgery to begin with and aspirations to be a highly profitable business.
There are many aspects to building a successful squat practice and the most important from the start is to focus on a clear plan and prepare for a lot of hard work.

Training
Recruitment and training are investments, and turnover can be challenging for a small practice. By training existing staff up, you can ensure staff grow alongside your practice
Training
Investing in staff training demonstrates a commitment to employee development and growth. Training staff members in additional skills and specialties can enable a squat dental practice to expand its service offerings. By cross-training team members, the practice can provide a broader range of dental treatments, attracting a wider patient base and increasing revenue streams. Offering comprehensive services within the practice reduces the need for patients to seek specialized care elsewhere, resulting in increased patient retention and practice growth.
Regular training sessions or workshops allow staff members to enhance their skills, stay updated with industry trends, and adapt to changing patient needs. This flexibility and willingness to evolve are crucial for staying competitive, meeting patient demands, and driving business growth in a dynamic healthcare environment.
Recruitment
A principal dentist cant do everything, so you'll need to recruit the right team members to provide excellent client care and provide scalability and growth to your dental practice.
Recruitment
A small dental practice heavily relies on its team members to deliver quality patient care and support the day-to-day operations. Recruiting skilled and competent individuals ensures that the practice has a team that can perform their roles effectively, maintain high standards of service, and contribute to the overall success of the practice. Furthermore, hiring the right staff from the start can save you from the costs associated with frequent turnover and rehiring.
With a competent team in place, the practice can operate efficiently and deliver services in a timely manner. In addition, as the practice expands and patient demand increases, having a team that can handle the additional workload is crucial. Recruiting individuals who are adaptable, eager to learn, and open to taking on new responsibilities helps the practice grow without compromising on the quality of care provided.
Marketing
A considerable investment in marketing is essential for a new dental practice, especially a quality website and regular social media engagement and activity.
Marketing
With 60% of the world regularly using social media, it is more important than ever to get your brand out there. Everyone uses Google nowadays, but being on the first page requires more than just luck.
Sharing valuable insights, tips, and updates regularly showcases the practice's knowledge and expertise and improves online visibility. This drives organic traffic to the website and increasing the chances of attracting new patients.
Consistently engaging with your clients can be a time consuming effort and requires a strong understanding of digital marketing from the get-go. Outsourcing this function lets you direct your attention to other matters whilst a professional team works in the background to build your brand and optimises your SEO
Design and Fit-out
Once you've secured funding, you'll need to sign the lease/buy freehold and start designing and fitting out your practice.
Design and Fit-out
The design of the practice not only includes the layout of the rooms, but also the aesthetics, colour scheme and lighting. There should be a functional balance between efficient traffic flow and comfortable movement for both staff and patients, whilst staying within the scope of your budget.
The customer experience is vital to keep customers returning and each room within your squat practice will need to be addressed in detail.
Often the owner of the squat practice will have design ideas in mind, but to really get down to detail they would be advised to acquire the assistance of an experienced project manager to identify any potential issues or road blocks before the design is finalised. In most cases, it is more important to know what not to do, to ensure there are no future issues or snagging problems.
Finance
Setting up a squat practice requires careful planning and understanding. Make sure you can afford the essentials by speaking to a finance broker
Finance
Commercial finance support plays a vital role in easing the financial burden of starting a dental practice.

Location
Find the place you want to set up. Some things to consider include planning permission, footfall, competition and parking
Location
Selecting the right location for a start-up dental practice is a critical decision that can significantly impact the success and growth of the business.
The general area that you choose must be one that you either know well or have done extensive research into. Look at demographics, competition, footfall and even ease of parking. The look and feel of the property will also be important to the overall aesthetics and building customer confidence and you might want to consider room for expansion later down the line.
It is unlikely that a purpose-built property will be available for sale or rent, so changing from one building class to another will have to be considered.
