Private practice owner Christopher F. Heck, DMD<\/a>, had built a steady practice at Montgomery General Dentistry in Ohio since 2016, but he was looking for ways to increase revenue and grow\u2014without adding a second location, expanding his physical space, or bringing on an associate dentist.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the sole provider at his five-operatory practice, supported by two full-time hygienists by 2023, he needed a way to increase his patient base year after year while keeping operations going strong. That opportunity came when he learned a nearby dentist, just a half mile away, was preparing to retire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Strategic Approach to Expansion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Competition for patients is fierce in Montgomery, Ohio, with multiple dental practices located within a one-mile radius of his practice. When Dr. Heck learned about a nearby practice for sale, he was intrigued.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Heck knew he didn\u2019t want to purchase a second location, especially one within walking distance. He offered to meet with the retiring doctor, compare treatment philosophies, and if it was a good fit, acquire the patient records.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This strategy would allow Dr. Heck to significantly expand his patient volume, adding over 800 potential new patients. However, a successful acquisition<\/a> would require careful planning and execution\u2014ensuring the practice was properly staffed and able to deploy Denticon<\/a> practice management solutions effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging Denticon for Rapid Growth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To accommodate the influx of new patients, Dr. Heck expanded his team, hiring an additional front desk team member and another hygienist, who immediately picked up the Denticon software.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been a fan of the user interface and usability,\u201d said Dr. Heck. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot more intuitive than other software. The Denticon cloud platform is very helpful, and you know that you\u2019re always using the most up-to-date version. You\u2019re not missing out on functionality.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patient record acquisition deal was structured so the retiring dentist would receive a percentage of collections for each of his patients who started treatment at Dr. Heck\u2019s practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Denticon, it\u2019s really easy to run reports. I assigned all of his records to that doctor\u2019s name and then could track it,\u201d Dr. Heck explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having detailed reporting allowed Dr. Heck to monitor performance during the acquisition and make operational<\/a> adjustments as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing Patient Experience with Denticon <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Denticon advanced integrated tools expedited onboarding for Dr. Heck\u2019s team and patients. Online scheduling and digital forms simplified the registration process, reducing administrative burdens, and improving the patient experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the ability to customize all the fields on the health history,\u201d said Dr. Heck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With advanced Denticon scheduling and automation tools, the team could transition patients to Christopher F. Heck, DMD dentistry with minimal disruptions, ensuring continuity of care for new patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
