For many dental practice owners, PPO participation feels less like a strategic choice and more like a trap they fell into years ago and never escaped. Reimbursement rates stagnate or decline, overhead continues to rise, and the pressure to do more dentistry in less time becomes relentless. Somewhere along the way, the practice you built to deliver thoughtful, high-quality care starts to feel like a volume business you no longer control. Despite this frustration, most dentists stay in PPOs far longer than they want to. Not because they believe PPOs […]

While most dentists prefer focusing on patient care, the reality is that understanding dental practice accounting is vital for a thriving, financially healthy practice.

While dentists often focus on clinical outcomes, the revenue cycle is what keeps the practice sustainable.

That’s why Dental Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) has become a cornerstone of practice success. For many practices, managing RCM manually is overwhelming and error-prone. That’s why modern dental practice management software has become indispensable. With tools […]

Teeth stains can occur for a variety of reasons, but certain teeth-staining foods are more likely to cause staining than others. Coffee, tea, and red wine are all common culprits, as they contain pigments that can cling to tooth enamel.

In fact, over half of American adults feel self-conscious about their teeth. That’s why it’s essential to visit […]

Adults over 65 face a myriad of dental health problems and affordable dental care can be a challenge.
