🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Most practice owners think profitability issues come from one big problem… but often, it’s a handful of small, consistent inefficiencies silently draining revenue.
In this episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down the three most common profit leaks she sees in dental offices — and how to fix them fast.
đź’¸ The 3 Biggest Profit Leaks in Dental Practices:
1. Time on Your Schedule
• One lost hour per day = $12,000/month down the drain (or more!)
• 🔧 Solutions:
o Confirmation protocols that build commitment, not just reminders
o Intentional short-notice lists to quickly fill last-minute openings
o Strategic block scheduling to prioritize high-value procedures during prime hours
• 🎧 Listen to related episodes on scheduling for deeper strategies.
2. Unaccepted Treatment
• If you're diagnosing $100k/month and only scheduling 40%, you’re leaking $60k.
• 🔧 Solutions:
o Boost same-day treatment acceptance (target: 70–80%)
o Clearly communicate financing options to reduce hesitation
o Build strong follow-up systems: automated emails, texts, and personal calls
o Assign team members to own follow-ups — this is a game changer
3. Overhead & Inventory
• Are your cabinets full of expired supplies? Or are you paying for unused software?
• 🔧 Solutions:
o Designate an “inventory manager” to monitor usage and control ordering
o Perform quarterly audits of subscriptions and software
o Renegotiate vendor contracts annually — don’t pay retail if you don’t have to
đź›  Action Step of the Week:
Choose ONE area:
• 🗓 Scheduling
• 🦷 Treatment follow-up
• 📦 Overhead
Audit it. Find the leak. Implement one simple system to stop it.
This is the fastest way to increase profitability — without more patients, more hours, or more stress.
