The challenge and what we did

Illustrative example — fictional client and figures

A family dental group was fully booked but barely profitable. We rebuilt their pricing, moved hygiene recalls to automated reminders and reshaped the front-desk schedule.

Every change was tested with a small group first, then rolled out once the numbers held for four weeks.
