The Million Dollar Practice

The Million Dollar Practice

Busy every day. Still can't break through $1 million?

One lever at a time, measured to the number, until your practice collects $1 million a year. It's the path we took at Nest.

They get paid when you buy. You only benefit if it delivers.

Founding cohort: 10 practices. Enrol by 18 December. First sprint starts 18 January.

You work to a fraction of a millimetre. Why shouldn't your growth plan be as precise too?

Most practices stuck under $1 million aren't short of ideas. They're short of the one thing that, done properly, has the greatest impact on growth. Twenty initiatives, none finished, and no way to know which one mattered.

The pitch never changes.

You went to dental school. Not business school. And when you want to grow, there's always someone ready to tell you what to buy next.

A better scanner. A newer chair. The latest technology. Another upgrade that promises to transform your practice.

The world's biggest dental suppliers have built enormous businesses selling dentists more. They get paid when you buy. You only benefit if it delivers.

You can spend $100,000 on a scanner and never see the extra revenue to justify it. The supplier still gets paid.

That doesn't make suppliers dishonest. They're rewarded for the sale. You're rewarded for the result.

It's also how practices end up with twenty initiatives and none finished.

"I'm not buying any more stuff until I'm getting the most out of what I've already got."

Love us and leave us.

The industry wants the next sale. We want you to stop needing us.

Try it. Teach it. Hand it over. Leave.

One lever at a time, never more. Each sprint, your team takes over more of the work, until the cycle runs without us.

Where most practices start

Rebooking to 87%

Every patient who leaves without their next visit leaves a future empty slot. In 60 days we get your rebooking rate to 87% and show you what that's worth.

Baseline
your rebooking rate today, from your own system.
Target
87% by day 60.
Routine
the next visit is booked before the patient leaves.
Check
one number, reviewed every week.

Most practices start here. Your diagnosis may choose a different lever.

Calculator

How far are you from $1 million?

Five numbers, about a minute. No email needed. Every number is yours: no benchmarks.

Enter your collections to see how far you are from $1 million.

A model based on the numbers you enter. Not a forecast. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you book a call.

Proof

We didn't read about this. We lived it.

We bought Nest Dental and grew collections by 50% in under 9 months. Rebooking went from 55% to 87%, worth about $20,000 a month in collections.

Most advice comes from people who get paid when you buy. We bought a practice, and we still use this system to run it. No theory. A program we ran on our own practice first.

We're practice owners too. We try it in our practice before we recommend it in yours. What works, we teach. What doesn't, we tell you.

Who it's for

For owners ready to move their practice forward.

  • You own an independent dental practice collecting under $1 million a year.
  • You want to grow through the patients and chairs you already have.
  • You can make decisions about how your practice runs and bring your team with you.
  • You're ready to focus on one routine at a time and measure what changes.
  • You'd rather get more from what you own before you buy more.

Who it's not for

This isn't for everyone.

It's probably not for you if:

  • You're an associate or manager without the authority to change how the practice runs.
  • You want a marketing agency, more leads or a new website. This is about the patients and chairs you already have.
  • You want help choosing your next piece of equipment.
  • You want a long list of initiatives. We do one thing at a time.
  • Your team can't give ten minutes a day to one routine.
  • Your practice is already well past $1 million.

If that's not you, let's talk.

The offer

Start with a free 20-minute strategy call.

We look at your numbers, name the one lever worth the most to your practice, and tell you honestly if we're a fit. No pitch deck.

We won't sell you anything new. The aim is a practice that runs this without us.

If it is, you'll join the founding cohort: 10 practices, first sprint starts 18 January, enrolment closes 18 December. We'll explain the program and the price on the call.

Before you buy more, make more of what you've already got.
