At Method, we believe that achieving true, profit-improving results means keeping it real. Unrealistic expectations and over-designed processes only manage to set you up for failure. Yes, everyone wants to save money. But dental practices come in all different shapes, sizes, and maturity levels. And each has its own distinct objectives, goals, and value systems.Some look to simply shave pennies off their cost of goods as quickly and easily as possible, while others look to unify spending practices and leverage volumes with long-term strategic purchasing strategies. Although there are fundamental business practices that are good for all, not every practice can or even should do all things.
Your roadmap to success should be a unique one, designed explicitly for you, by you, with a little, or maybe even a lot, of help from us.Better dental supply procurement is about more than just getting the “best deal.” it’s about doing things right, for the betterment of your practice, and all those who spend their days and their efforts committed to its success.Best practices and standardized work make for happier workdays while improving your efficiencies allows you and your employees to get on with what they do best, servicing your patients with a smile. Moreover, improving your spend management, gaining tighter control of your finances, and improving profitability ensure the long term viability and growth of your dental practice, and that is simply good for everybody.To that end, we aim to give you the knowledge base you need to help establish your improvement plan.
