Practice Finance

Behind every dental practice's day-to-day operations is a set of financial mechanics that determine whether it's actually profitable — EBITDA and its add-backs, overhead benchmarks by cost category, AR days, and collections rate. This collection breaks down the numbers that matter most, from how adjusted EBITDA is calculated in a practice sale to what a healthy overhead ratio looks like and how to close the gap between production and collections. Whether you're preparing to sell, opening a new location, or just trying to understand your own P&L, these articles translate the financial mechanics into plain language.
