Start a New Practice
More than 80 practices built from scratch, with the cost control to prove it.
The Clinical Half Is Only Half the Practice
Dental schools are great at teaching dentists how to be excellent health-care providers. Unfortunately, the clinical side of dentistry is only half of what is required to run a practice. To be successful, it is essential to understand the business side, and when starting from scratch, to understand and control the initial and ongoing costs.
Having assisted dentists in building more than 80 practices from scratch, we work closely with the banks, builders, and equipment specialists to manage expenses without sacrificing quality. The savings can reach tens of thousands of dollars every year.
You focus on the dentistry. We make sure the business is built to last.

Common Questions
What dentists most often ask about starting a practice with PPC.
The average new practice requires almost $500,000 in cash for build-out, equipment, and working capital. The exact figure depends heavily on your location, square footage, equipment choices, and operatory count. A big part of our job is helping you manage those costs without sacrificing quality.
By helping you control initial and ongoing costs, and by working closely with banks, builders, and equipment specialists, we can save a new practice anywhere from $15,000 to $50,000 annually. We have applied this approach across more than 80 scratch start-ups.
That is exactly the gap we fill. Dental schools teach clinical excellence, but running a practice requires understanding the business side too. We guide you through the decisions that matter, from systems and hiring to marketing and finances, so the business supports the dentistry instead of undermining it.
Deciding where to open is one of the most consequential choices you will make. We begin with demographic studies that substantiate whether an area has enough potential patients to support the future growth of your practice, so you build in a place positioned to thrive.
Yes. We work closely with banks throughout the process, helping you present your plan and secure financing on favorable terms. Our long-standing relationships with lenders who understand dental start-ups are part of what makes the process smoother.
Both paths can be right depending on your goals, capital, and risk tolerance. Because PPC also handles practice acquisitions and valuations, we can walk you through the trade-offs honestly and help you choose the route that fits you best.
Opening is the start, not the finish. We help you recruit and train a team, put business systems in place that measure results, establish inventory and ordering controls, and launch effective marketing. Then we stay on as a resource as the practice grows.
