Maximizing the physical use of the office.
When referring to the physical plant in a dental practice, I am referring mainly to the use of dental chairs, because this is where dental practice production occurs. By maximizing the use of chairs or adding the necessary number of chairs to a practice, any office can grow and experience a proper patient flow. Since most offices have significantly high rates of no-shows, last-minute cancellations and overdue patients, the potential for growth is enormous. By using the schedule and chairs properly, the office has the opportunity to maximize production, create convenient appointments for patients and significantly increase practice profitability.
