title: Key factors in determining a dental practice site.
abstract: There is no single "right" place to place a dental practice. Personal preferences, family, friends, church, and recreation all have a hand in determining a dentist's likelihood of happiness with a particular location. Still, the science of demographics and psychographics (who people are and what they do) can provide a dentist with necessary insights into knowing the potential of a location. This article discusses important demographic and psychographic information that should be considered when determining a dental practice site.
