Many employees of dental clinics, having gained experience in their field of activity, are thinking about starting their own business. Before embarking on the implementation of these plans, it is necessary to determine the range of services that the clinic will provide and carry out the appropriate preparatory work.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to find a suitable room with an area of at least 70 m². Here will be located: personal office, reception, room for staff, etc. If the clinic will provide prosthetics and teeth whitening services, then large areas will be needed. In this case, it will be necessary to place an office for sterilization of instruments, an X-ray room.
Step 2
It is especially important to choose dental equipment. To equip one office, you will need a set of tools, a dental unit, a doctor's chair and consumable tools. On average, this will take about 80 thousand dollars. There are many manufacturers that manufacture such equipment. It is best to give preference to well-known brands - they are expensive, but much more reliable than cheap Chinese and even Japanese machines. If the funds for the purchase of expensive devices are not enough, then it is best to take used equipment from the same manufacturers.
Step 3
One of the main stages of starting this business is obtaining a license to provide dental services. The work of collecting the necessary documentation can be done independently, thus saving a lot of money or entrusting it to professional companies - in this case, you can save time by spending it on the direct organization of the business.
Step 4
There are dozens of private dental clinics in any major city. The competition in this area is very high, so the main problem, especially at the initial stage, will be the lack of customers. It is especially important here to conduct a well-thought-out advertising campaign, placing it in all media. Of course, no advertising will help if the service provided does not match it. Therefore, the staff should only consist of highly qualified specialists with extensive experience in this area and capable of providing quality services. This applies not only directly to dentists, but also to administrators and managers.
