FREE TOOL FOR DENTAL PRACTICE OWNERS

You know what your practice takes. Do you know what it keeps?

Most owners can tell you their daily gross. Very few can tell you their real profit after associates, lab bills, ads and rent. Put in your numbers and find out in 60 seconds.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Three numbers that quietly decide whether your practice makes money

A full diary does not mean a profitable practice. These are the numbers I check every single month.

1

Your associate rate

The difference between paying 40% and 50% can be thousands of pounds a month. Most owners never see it side by side.

2

Your break-even day

How much you need to gross every day before you make a single penny. If you do not know it, you cannot price, plan or grow.

3

Your cost per surgery

Every surgery has a daily cost to open the doors. An empty chair is not neutral, it is money going out.

Your practice. Your numbers. Your real profit.

This is a guide, not financial advice. It assumes associates are paid on gross after lab fees, with lab fees shared in the same ratio as pay. Tax and drawings are not included. Check the real figures with your accountant.

"I am not a dentist. I have still built three squat practices. The difference was knowing my numbers."

BUILT BY AN OWNER, FOR OWNERS

The same numbers I use to run my own practices

I built three squat practices without a clinical background, and every decision came down to the numbers on this page. Dream Squat exists to give you that same clarity before you sign a lease, hire an associate or spend a pound on ads.

  • Plan your squat with real running costs, not guesses
  • Set associate pay you can actually afford
  • Know your break-even day before you open the doors
QUESTIONS

Good to know

How is associate pay worked out?

Associates are paid their percentage on gross after lab fees. Lab fees are then shared in the same ratio, so at 40% the associate covers 40% of the lab bill and the practice covers 60%. This is the most common setup in the UK, but check your own contracts.

Does it include tax?

No. The profit shown is before corporation tax, director's salary and dividends. Take the figure to your accountant to see what is left after tax.

Should I include my own wage?

If you pay yourself a salary through the practice, add it under "Other" so you can see what is left after you are paid.

Is this financial advice?

No. It is a planning tool to help you understand your numbers. Always check your real figures with your accountant before making decisions.
