What is the Financial Worth of Each Operatory?
Every operatory in a dental practice represents a significant source of revenue. Based on minimum daily production estimates:
- A hygiene operatory generates at least $1,800 per day.
- A DDS operatory generates at least $3,000 per day.
Beyond direct production, every operatory also carries associated labour costs. In this analysis, we account for:
- Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH) @ $400 per day
- Certified Dental Assistants (CDA) @ $200 per day
- Administrative staff (Admin) @ $200 per day
This basic model does not include:
- Percentages paid to associate dentists
- Salaries for office managers
- Additional costs for percentages paid to specialists
