Dental Management Ideas (DMI) offers a wide variety of services to assist dental professionals in thriving endeavours. At DMI, we offer initial complimentary consultations to discuss and strategize the aspirations of the owner and subsequent team. DMI conducts an in depth investigation whereby our team of skilled consultants analyzes data to identify areas of opportunity found within the dental practice. DMI always keeps a return on investment mind frame. We track team performance monthly and are able to quickly calculate the return on investment (ROI) for our clients.

All of our procedures are customized and designed to suit the needs of the practice and reflect the individuality of the owner and patient demographics.

DMI Investigation

The investigation component is extremely important as it is the exploratory phase whereby we gain a better understanding of the inner workings of your dental practice. This allows us to gain further insight into the daily running of the practice and emphasize where the prospects are within the practice.
