Instruction manual

1

Make a business plan, reflect all future expenses in it. Consider the funds necessary for the repair of premises, equipment (dental units), an X-ray machine, auxiliary equipment, furniture, expenses for documentation, design, promotion, payment to personnel.

2

If you plan to create a small dental private clinic with approximately 5 chairs, then you will need a room with a total area of ​​180 - 200 m² that meets the requirements of SES, with five windows (one for each dental chair).

3

If funds allow you, it is better to buy a room, so as not to depend on the landlord. If the starting money is not very much - start with the lease, but pay special attention to the conclusion of an agreement with the lessor.

4

Buy a ready-made business, if you have such an opportunity. But be careful. Address specialists on purchase - sale of business.

5

When repairing a room, make sure that you don’t spend too much money on the design of the space. After all, you will still need to purchase more or less high-quality equipment in order to be a competitive clinic.

6

Get permission from the appropriate supervisory authorities. If you are planning a redevelopment of the premises, this requires permits from various authorities - from firefighters, the department of architecture, SES, the district administration, etc. You will also need permission to operate X-ray equipment if you intend to provide these types of services.

7

Get a medical license (if you plan to open surgery and pediatric dentistry, you will need several licenses).

8

To purchase medical equipment, it is enough to visit an appropriate online exhibition, for example, Stoma Expo. To make a choice, you need a specialist who is well versed in professional technology.

9

Hire medical staff. A clinic with 5 chairs, as a rule, employs 10 dentists and 10 nurses, it will also require 2 administrators, a director and 2 nurses. The accountant is most often coming part-time. The salary of doctors is 20 - 25% of the revenue, the rest of the staff - at the discretion of the owner. It’s not easy to pick up staff, so you need to start the search during the repair process so that the staff will be fully staffed by the opening of the clinic.

10

Immediately establish a clear control over the materials, note the labor contribution of each employee, keep a record of patients, etc. This is quite easily solved with the help of special computer programs.

eleven

Let the dentists invited by you invite the first patients, because they have old clients. A sign works well, it is better to hang it in advance, even during repair. Order ads on the radio and in local newspapers. Open the clinic website on the Internet, with a detailed overview of all the services provided and the possibility of making an appointment by e-mail or by phone.

12

Make sure that the prices of your services are competitive and the quality is superior to other clinics. In this case, a large number of patients are guaranteed.
