Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations. You've graduated from dental school. So what exactly does that mean? For most new dentists it means a huge student debt and very little business knowledge to manage it. Dental school is very good at providing clinical skills. But once a dentist enters in the real world business skills are even more important than a pair of steady hands. Dr. Kevin Coughlin is an expert on the business of dentistry. Growing his practices from 1 to 14 during his career, he's learned what works and what doesn't. And he knows that once you "get it right," it's not a great leap to replicate that success over and over again. Today, in addition to his work as an actual dentist, Dr. Coughlin coaches, consults and speaks to dentists across the country on how to build the practice of their dreams - based on proven processes and procedures. Some of the things your will learn in this book: - Should you be a corporate dentist, join a group practice or start or buy a solo practice? - What should you look for before signing any contracts? - How to use publicly available information to find out your the patient base, the types of insurance and types of procedures you should offer. - How dental compensation works and what you need to know; are you going to be on collection or production or a guaranteed salary or some combination of the two? - The most common mistakes all associates make.
