You are a dentist, but you are also an entrepreneur. Your clinic is a business. And like any business, it runs on numbers. But do you know yours? Or are you running your practice based on gut feeling and guesswork?
Scaling a dental practice from a single chair to a multi-specialty clinic requires more than just good dentistry; it requires good decision-making. And good decisions come from good data.
Moving Beyond "Cash in the Drawer"
For many traditional clinics, "Growth" is measured by checking how much cash is in the drawer at the end of the day. This is a dangerous metric. It doesn't tell you about profit margins, pending payments, or next month's forecast.
DentoSupport acts as your Virtual CFO. It tracks every single rupee, categorizes it, and presents it in beautiful, easy-to-understand charts.
The 3 Metrics That Matter
If you want to double your practice revenue, you need to track these three numbers. DentoSupport automates all of them.
How many consultations convert to treatments?
Insight: See which treatments have high drop-offs. Maybe your pricing is too high?
Do patients come back for follow-ups?
Insight: Identify "Lost Patients" who haven't visited in 6 months.
Money earned but not collected.
Insight: A "pending list" showing exactly who owes what.
The Power of Automated Recalls
The easiest way to grow revenue is not to find new patients, but to retain existing ones. A patient who came for scaling today should come back in 6 months. But they usually forget.
DentoSupport solves this with "Set and Forget" recalls. The system automatically schedules follow-up reminders. On that day, the patient gets a WhatsApp: "Hi Anjali, it's been 6 months since your cleaning. Time for a checkup!"
This single feature can increase your footfall by 20-30% without spending on marketing.
Treatment Analysis: What's Actually Profitable?
You might think Orthodontics is your biggest moneymaker because the ticket size is large. But analytics might reveal that after material costs and chair time, your profit per hour is actually higher on Implants.
Visualizing your "Revenue by Treatment Type" helps you decide where to focus marketing. Stop guessing. Let the data decide.
"I used to think my clinic was doing 'okay'. Then I saw the analytics on DentoSupport. I realized I had ₹2.5 Lakhs in outstanding dues I had forgotten about! Recovering that alone paid for the software for the next 10 years."
Growth is not an accident; it is engineered. DentoSupport gives you the blueprint. Stop playing blind and start leading your practice with clarity and confidence.
