The 25 Percent Profit Secret Your Dental Practice Is Missing

Episode 55 · · 31 min · Hosted by Phil Cole

Show notes

Got a busy schedule and thin margins? In this episode, I break down the simple math behind hitting 25% profit—and why most dental practices miss it. I’ll show you where money leaks, how to plug them fast, and the key habits that keep your numbers strong month after month.

What you’ll learn:

  • The 3 numbers that control profit (and how to track them weekly)
  • A clear target for payroll, supplies, and overhead
  • The “leaky bucket” costs hiding in plain sight
  • How to price, schedule, and collect so cash actually sticks
  • A quick checklist to move from 10–15% profit to 25%+
