Why This Matters for Health Centers

For many community health centers, the barrier to serving more dental patients isn’t demand, it’s scheduling + utilization. Many dental programs hover around the national benchmark of 8–13 patient encounters per day per provider. What if your team could move well beyond that, without opening new chairs, hiring staff, or adding workflows? With your very first call, you get a window into what’s possible and the roadmap to get there.

The Practice Optimization Process™ (POP™)

POP™ is our proven framework for sustainable growth — a repeatable process that aligns vision, execution, and accountability across your entire organization.

  1. Clarify the Vision
    Define what impact looks like for your health center over the next 12 months.

  2. Build the Plan
    Turn that vision into quarterly action steps with measurable targets.

  3. Optimize Operations
    Implement proven workflows and scheduling models that improve access system-wide.

  4. Sustain the Gains
    Ongoing coaching and project management ensure improvements stick.

Health centers using POP™ have achieved dramatic gains, including a 4× increase in dental visits and 50%+ growth in daily provider encounters, all without additional staff or space.

Introducing Dental Program Optimization™

What it is: A one-call deep dive where we walk you through our proven FQHC-specific scheduling template and show how we got other health centers above 25+ daily encounters per provider (yes, above the 8–13 benchmark).

What we do:

  • We review your current schedule, templates, and flow.
  • We apply our scheduling model (designed for FQHC dental programs).
  • We guide you through exactly how to use the template, so your team can start unlocking capacity immediately.

Why it matters: You already have the physical space, staff and mission, we help you use them better. The result: more patients seen, more unmet need addressed, stronger community impact.
