When it comes to managing a business there is always room for improvement. This goes for dental practices too. The most toxic thing to any business is the mindset that everything is perfect. In order to run a successful dental practice, you must always be analyzing and critiquing the way in which your practice is run.

Think of your dental practice in broad categories. Breaking your business down into categories like services, communication, staff, leadership, and marketing will help you analyze those aspects individually. How can you improve these factors of your practice in order to be more successful?

Answering these 12 questions could help you run a more successful dental practice:

  1. Should your practice offer more services?
  2. What new technology or treatments have been released recently that you could incorporate into your practice?
  3. How long do our appointments and services take? Can you cut down that time? Or should you add more time to ensure proper care?
  4. How am I communicating with my team? With the patients? Is there a lack of communication? Should we have more team meetings?
  5. Is everyone on the staff doing their job? Are they doing it well?
  6. Do we need more staff? Or do we need to cut back?
  7. Is there room to expand the staff\’92s responsibilities?
  8. Are the leaders at the practice managing the team in an effective manner?
  9. Am I acting as a role model for my team?
  10. How are we connecting with patients?
  11. Are we doing enough to get our brand and our message out there? How can we improve our outreach?
  12. Are we outsourcing where we should in order to ensure effective time management and increased revenue in the office?

A lot of these questions won\’92t be things you can answer immediately, and many of the changes and improvements will be long-term, not quick. But considering these questions on a regular basis will help you improve your business and overall help you to run a more successful dental practice.
