Are you preparing to open your own dental practice? Congratulations!
This is an exciting and rewarding journey, but we know it can also feel overwhelming and full of unknowns. That’s exactly where we come in. At Ideal Practices, we’ve helped launch over 800 successful dental practices across the country. With our proven strategies and hands-on support, we help turn your dream practice into a real, thriving business.
Let us walk you through how our team—aka your dental startup dream team—guides you through every step of the process.
Meet the Dream Team Behind Your Dental Startup
Before we dive in, we have to shout out our incredible team. The heart of Ideal Practices is our people. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring our mission to life and help our clients build practices they’re proud of. Every member of our team was carefully chosen for their passion, industry knowledge, and commitment to helping you succeed.
Here’s how we support you at each major milestone of your journey.
Our Role in the Planning Stages
In the early stages of your dental startup, we’re right there with you. From defining your vision and securing financing to doing demographic research and selecting the perfect location, we help lay the groundwork for everything that comes next.
This is where you define your “why.” What kind of practice do you want to create? How do you want your patients to feel? What kind of culture and brand experience do you want to build? Our co-founders, Stephen and Kyle, specialize in helping you expand and refine your vision so every future decision is aligned with your purpose.
Next comes financing. Our co-founder Kyle knows the ins and outs of the lending process and has helped thousands of dentists secure funding. You’ll feel confident knowing your financial path is guided by an insider who understands what banks are really looking for.
And when it comes to real estate? Mike’s your guy. He’ll help you make informed, strategic decisions about where to plant your roots—while avoiding expensive missteps.
Our Role in the Pre-Construction Phases
Once the foundation is laid, we move into design, permitting, and planning your practice build-out. This is where your ideas start to take shape—literally.
Designing your floor plan might feel intimidating, but with John on your side, it’s a creative, exciting process. Known as the “Picasso of dental floor plans,” John balances your vision with practical considerations like workflow and budget.
Carol and Melanie are your go-to experts for dental insurance credentialing. They make sure you have all the necessary licenses and approvals in place—no red tape, no confusion.
And for equipment selection and construction bidding? That’s Steve’s zone. He handles cost analysis, vendor selection, and negotiation, making sure you get the best fit at the best price. He’ll even be there when construction begins and equipment is installed, helping everything run smoothly and on schedule.
Our Role in the Implementation Stages
As your practice starts coming to life, it’s time to focus on two big things: marketing and hiring.
With Stacey, Liz, and Jodi by your side, you won’t be alone in the hiring process. They’ll guide you through staffing decisions so that by the time you open your doors, you’re fully equipped with a strong, capable team.
And yes—our marketing expertise ensures your community knows exactly who you are and why your new practice is worth visiting.
Our Role in the Completion Stages (Woohoo!)
This is the finish line—and it’s one of the most rewarding stages of all.
We’ll walk you through your practice’s dress rehearsal, a full run-through before your grand opening. This gives you a chance to test every process, train your team, and fine-tune any final details.
When opening day arrives, you won’t be scrambling. You’ll be confident, ready, and surrounded by a team that’s been with you every step of the way.
We’re More Than Just Consultants—We’re Partners in Your Vision
From day one to grand opening and beyond, our team is fully invested in your success. We’re here to advise you, support you, and stay with you long after your ribbon-cutting ceremony.
If you’re ready to receive the support and guidance you need to bring your dental startup to life, we’d love to be part of your journey.
Join the team at Ideal Practices and let us help you turn your dream practice into a reality.
