Shared Practices | Your Dental Roadmap through Practice Ownership

Caitlin Embree and Morgan Hamon from EAG Dental Advisors bridge the gap between daily operations and proactive financial management for dentists. Transitioning from clinician to CEO requires deep financial clarity. Most owners only speak to their CPA during tax season, but advanced financial management for dentists transforms raw data into insights that fuel long-term dental practice profitability.  

If your goal is sustainable dental practice growth, this is your survival guide. Morgan explains how specialized CPAs act as your financial radiologist—diagnosing cash flow bottlenecks—so your dental practice management team can perform the operational surgery. We explore why standard profit and loss statements hide critical metrics like debt service.  

Here is your blueprint to master dental business strategies and dental practice ownership:
  • Master the Rule of Threes: Hygienists must produce three times their total pay to sustain dental practice profitability.  
  • Calculate Cash Reserves: Keep one to two months of break-even capital, combining operating expenses and debt service, to eliminate stress. 
  • Optimize Distributions: Implement structured monthly or quarterly distributions to maximize personal wealth.  
  • Demand Strategy: Stop accepting tax-season surprises. Demand year-round communication to track liabilities as you scale.
