Full diary and empty profit. Sound familiar?
Why so many thriving looking practices are quietly making less money than they used to
Hi there,
I sat across from a practice owner recently who was, by every visible measure, doing well. Patients booked out for weeks. Associates busy. Reception phone never stopped.
Then we opened the accounts and her face changed.
Profit was lower than two years ago. Notably lower. And she had absolutely no idea why, because on paper everything looked like success.
This is happening across UK dentistry right now, and it's rarely one big dramatic cause. It's usually five small ones that crept in quietly and never introduced themselves. Costs that rose while pricing stood still. Systems built for a smaller practice trying to cope with a bigger one. Decisions that made sense at the time and quietly stopped making sense somewhere along the way.
I made a video breaking down exactly why this keeps happening, and what actually works to reverse it. Not the vague "review your overheads" advice you've heard a hundred times, but the specific things I've watched genuinely move the needle.
