Company details

Written by the company

Ideal Practices helps associate dentists become practice owners for the first time. We guide dentists through every stage of starting or acquiring a dental practice, from initial vision through opening day and beyond, using a 13-stage process built from 900+ real launches. Our team of in-house specialists covers everything dentists need but dental school never taught: financing, real estate, floor plan design, equipment, construction, marketing, hiring, systems, HR, billing, credentialing and long-term growth planning. Dentists who follow this framework typically open with patients already scheduled, collect $750,000 - $850,000 in first-year revenue, and leave their associate position within months of opening, not years.

Highly Recommend!

Ideal Practices helped us open our dream dental practice from scratch! They have a very organized process and guided us every step of the way. Their expertise, knowledge, and advice made a scary decision easier to take that leap. And we are so glad we did! After almost two years since we opened our doors to care for patients, we still know we could not have gotten here without Ideal Practices setting us up for success from the beginning.

Footprints

On at least one of the walls in every home I had lived in during my childhood there was always a poem called "Footprints." If you know, you know. Ideal Practices reminds me of that poem because they held my hand every step of the way. Sometimes, as a new business owner, you do not know if you are making the right decisions in your journey to and through practice ownership. Ideal Practices really helps with keeping you in track to achieve your goals. I couldn't have done it so confidently without them. I wholeheartedly recommend this group!

Dr. Diondre, that "Footprints" reference really resonated with our team. At Ideal Practices, our goal has always been to walk alongside dentists through every stage of practice ownership, especially during the moments that feel uncertain. Opening a dental practice comes with hundreds of decisions, and the ones that feel the smallest often carry the most weight. You brought the vision and the courage. We just helped make sure the path to practice ownership was clear. Thank you for trusting Ideal Practices with something this important.

They helped me achieve my dream

Ideal practices has helped my life-long dream come to life in 7 months. Liz has been an amazing consultant to work with to answer all of my business questions and empower me as an owner of my own business. Stacey has been invaluable for discussing marketing ideas. I could not have done this without them.

Dr. Nathan, "from vision to reality" captures exactly what Ideal Practices is designed to do. Our dental practice startup process takes the practice you see in your head and turns it into the one you walk into every morning. Every stage of opening a dental practice is accounted for, so nothing falls through the cracks. Thank you for letting our team be part of that transformation, and congratulations on your practice!
