Finance Course 3: Overhead Management and Troubleshooting
How to get your overhead under control and keep more of what you produce
Course Description
Are you spending more than you’re making—or just unsure where the money is disappearing?
This course exposes one of the biggest silent killers of profitability in a dental practice: overhead that’s running the show instead of you.
You’ll learn how to pinpoint waste, isolate your most dangerous expense problems, and take fast, targeted action to stop the financial bleeding. We’ll walk you through the overhead percentage ranges healthy practices hit—and exactly what to do when your numbers are nowhere near those targets.
Whether you’re barely breaking even or already profitable and looking to tighten your margins, this course gives you the tools to cut waste intelligently, maximize profit, and regain full control of your financial picture.
Course Objectives
Understand the key categories that make up your practice’s overhead and how each one impacts profit
Learn healthy overhead percentage targets and benchmarks so you know what “good” actually looks like
Identify the most common overhead trouble spots that drag down cash flow and margin
Discover the root causes behind overspending and how to correct them at the source—not just trim symptoms
Learn step-by-step actions to lower costs without sacrificing quality of care or patient experience
Build a proactive plan to manage, monitor, and adjust overhead going forward, so it stays under control instead of creeping back up
