Common questions about dental practice KPIs and benchmarks
Which calculator should I start with?
Start with the KPI Calculator for a practice health score across 10 metrics. It gives you an overall Practice Health Score and identifies which areas need the most attention. From there, use specific tools like Fee Benchmarking or Practice Valuation to dive deeper into individual metrics.
How often should I re-run these calculators?
Run the KPI Calculator monthly to track overall practice health trends. Fee Benchmarking and Salary Calculator should be reviewed quarterly or when making pricing/compensation decisions. Practice Valuation is most useful annually or when considering major decisions like selling, expanding, or bringing on a partner.
Do I need to create an account to use these tools?
All tools are free and no account is needed. Some tools ask for your email before showing results.
How accurate are the benchmark data in these tools?
Our benchmarks are compiled industry ranges and practice-management conventions; where no primary source exists we say so. Every practice will differ. For the most reliable comparison, use your actual practice data rather than estimates.
Can I compare my results over time?
Yes. Note or save your results each time you run a calculator to build a history. We recommend tracking your KPI Calculator scores monthly.
