The average dentist can make several hundred thousand dollars every year, but they will have to pay for their overhead costs which can also be expensive. If you just graduated from dental school and want to start your own practice, then it is imperative that you look at your practice as a business. The more successful you are as a business, the more likely your dental practice is to succeed. So, how can you start a dental practice like Brandywine Dental Care? 

Have Low Overhead

Sure, you aren't going to be able to get away with having zero overhead costs, but you may be able to get away with having very little to pay for. When you are starting out, look for an office space that you can ether share with other solo practitioners, or that is very affordable. Then, try to only have one dental hygienist who works for you. In between helping you with dental cleanings and x-rays, your dental hygienist can also help answer phones and book appointments. By only having one person's salary to pay for, you can keep your costs down. 

Market Yourself

Online marketing is king in this day and age. If you are friends with any social media influencers, consider seeing if you can sponsor a post and then do some giveaways. When people learn more about you online, they are more likely to book with you. Some other forms of marketing that you can do are social media ads, radio advertisements, SEO, and even television commercials. Although you may have to put a lot of money into your marketing costs upfront, once you build up your clientele, all of those costs will go down drastically. 

Remember Your Reputation Is Everything

Unless you live in a really rural community, it's pretty easy for people to find a new dentist. You want to do whatever you can to set yourself apart from other dentist in the area. To do that, remember that your reputation is everything. If you have a bad reputation, then people aren't going to refer patients to you, and they aren't going to come back. If you get a really good reputation among everyone, you are way more likely to be successful and get more and more patients in the process. 

These tips aren't foolproof, but they will definitely help you get started in creating a dental practice that you can have for years and years to come.
