Success in
every sense Clinical. Personal. Financial.

No, you’ll receive a base the full duration of your time employed with a Heartland Dental supported practice. You deserve the financial security and peace of mind that comes with a regular, reliable paycheck.

True to our doctor-led culture and support model, you retain control over how much you get paid based on your own financial goals and your own productivity. All supported doctors are guaranteed a minimum 25% of personal collections. However, your exact percentage of collections will depend on several factors, including your base salary, office profitability, and other incremental bonuses. On average, supported doctors earn 32% of collections – with the top quartile of doctors earning 36% or more.

What’s more, those collections come from a broad range of services and above-industry average fees. Meaning 32% of collections from a Heartland supported practice may well be higher than 35% somewhere else. Heartland Dental supported practices support a lifetime care model rather than episodic care. This “Super GP” model means supported doctors aren’t required to refer patients to specialists. Instead, you’re given access to training that will help you hone your craft and advance clinical skills in areas like surgical extractions, sedation, clear aligner therapy, endodontics, aesthetic dentistry, implants, and more. Supported doctors also benefit from an increased focus on patient care management, streamlined costs, and the help of Heartland Dental’s best-in-class payor negotiation team.

Continuing education and lab costs factor into the office P&L. So, while they do factor into office profitability, they are not deducted from a supported doctor’s personal collections. Supported practices actively work to keep costs low to benefit the office bottom-line. Education courses cost a fraction of third-party offered CE. Diamond Trusted Labs give supported doctors access to rates up to 30% less than those procured by other DSOs and 40% less than private practice.

Two factors drive financial results in a dental office: collections and expenses. One of the best ways to control expenses is through purchasing. Unlike some other DSOs, Heartland Dental supported practices do not make doctors buy specific labs and supplies. Instead, we offer access to thousands of tested and proven supplies and labs to help them get a trusted outcome at a fraction of the cost.

Supported offices that adopt Diamond Trusted Supplies spend an average of 2.9% of their revenue on supplies, compared to the 8.7% dental industry average. For a $1.5 million practice, that’s a potential savings of $87,000 on supplies alone!

Heartland Dental’s support model also offers proprietary systems, processes, and non-clinical services to help supported doctors elevate quality of care while achieving maximum productivity.

Talent recruitment support services assist in keeping offices staffed to minimize reliance on labor costs from temps and overtime. We also offer support with smart scheduling, which includes leaving room for same-day service. We do that because we know patients who can be seen right away are more likely to get care, which improves both case acceptance and the patient’s oral health.
