The chair leak check · for independent dental practices
Your chairs are full. Your margins aren't.
You're busier than ever. The schedule is packed, the marketing bill keeps growing, and your front desk is doing three jobs at once. And somehow, the same dentistry pays less every year.
You're chairside all day. You can't also be in every chart, every claim and every schedule. That's where production slips away.
Find the leak in your margins in under a minute, and get a step-by-step plan to fix it that your front desk can start using tomorrow.

Your leak check
You flagged 0 of 5 leaks.
Most practices find more than they expect. If yours is really that tight, let's prove it.
For a practice your size, leaks like these often add up to about $0 a day, or $0 a month, in uncaptured production.
An estimate from typical fees and rates. Your real number comes from your own records. "Not sure" counts, because not knowing is the problem.
How we estimate this
- Visits a day: about 8 per chair. A month: 20 working days.
- Buildup or PA left off the claim: crowns are about 4% of visits, and about 30% of those miss the add-on. $310 each.
- Work in the same quadrant split into two visits: about 3% of visits. $240 each.
- Same day hygiene: about 25% of visits are patients overdue for a cleaning, and a hygiene chair is open about 20% of the time. $250 each (cleaning, exam and bitewings).
- Covered x-rays missed: full mouth x-rays and bitewings due on a regular cycle across your active patients. About $0.10 a day per active patient.
- Covered fluoride skipped: about 15% of visits are patients whose plan covers fluoride varnish, and about half leave without it. About $40 each.
And that's just five. We haven't even mentioned perio maintenance that's due, sealants a child's plan covers, family members due for a cleaning, old treatment plans still waiting, benefits about to reset, and more.
