title: Dental practice and dental insurance.
abstract: The time has come for dentists to recognize that the dental insurers, as an outside factor, must be considered when designing a practice business model. The same efficiencies that would be well-placed in any business now need to be considered carefully in a dental practice to keep income from being reduced. Fortunately, there is a great deal of opportunity to increase practice efficiency and maintain or exceed the current level of financial performance.
