Instructions
Step 1
Make a business plan, in it reflect all the upcoming expenses. Consider the funds required for the repair of the premises, for equipment (dental units), for an X-ray machine, auxiliary equipment, furniture, expenses for documentation, design, promotion, staff salaries.
Step 2
If you are planning to create a small private dental clinic, for about 5 chairs, then you will need a room with a total area of 180 - 200 m² that meets the requirements of the SES, with five windows (one for each dental chair).
Step 3
If funds allow you, it is better to buy the premises, so as not to depend on the landlord. If there is not a lot of starting money, start with a lease, but at the same time pay special attention to concluding an agreement with the landlord.
Step 4
Buy a ready-made business if you have the opportunity. But be careful. Contact a specialist in buying and selling a business.
Step 5
When renovating 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.
Step 6
Take care of obtaining permits from the relevant supervisory authorities. If you are planning to redevelop the premises, this requires permits from various authorities - from firefighters, architecture department, SES, district administration, etc. You will also need a permit to operate X-ray equipment if you intend to provide these types of services.
Step 7
Obtain a medical license (if you plan to open surgery and pediatric dentistry, you will need several licenses).
Step 8
To purchase medical equipment, it is enough to visit the corresponding profile of the online exhibition, for example, Stoma Expo. To make a choice, you will need a specialist who is well versed in professional technology.
Step 9
Hire medical staff. In a clinic with 5 chairs, as a rule, 10 dentists and 10 nurses work, 2 administrators, a director and 2 nurses will also be required. The accountant is most often a part-time employee. The salary of doctors is 20 - 25% of the proceeds, the rest of the staff - at the discretion of the owner. It is not easy to find staff, so you need to start the search even during the renovation, so that the team is fully staffed by the opening of the clinic.
Step 10
Immediately establish clear control over materials, note the labor contribution of each employee, keep records of patients, etc. This can be solved quite easily with the help of special computer programs.
Step 11
Let the dentists you invite call the first patients - after all, they have old clients. The sign works well, it is better to hang it in advance, even during the renovation. Order advertisements on radio and local newspapers. Open the clinic's website on the Internet, with a detailed overview of all services provided and the ability to make an appointment by e-mail or by phone.
Step 12
Make sure that the prices for your services are competitive and the quality is superior to other clinics. In this case, you are guaranteed a large number of patients.
