PITTSTON, Penn.—Benco Dental has announced the release of a new white paper: “Smaller Is Smarter: A Comprehensive Business and Clinical Case for Rethinking Dental Operatory Design.”
The new white paper, authored by company leaders from Benco Practice Design, provides actionable steps based around their thought leadership on:
– How practices can increase income by 17%, or $250,000, without increasing their operatory footprints;
– Why six smaller operatories cost about the same as five conventional rooms but deliver more ROI;
– Where smaller operatories reduce physical stress and potential for fatigue or injury;
– When smaller operatories translate directly to better service for new and existing patients;
– Ways conventional operatories stunt practice growth. Also, why the top 10% of practices have realized 18% growth by seeing more patients while the bottom 10% experienced a 12% drop caused by bottlenecks.
“For new construction, smaller operatories are a no-brainer,” said Melissa Sprau, the company’s director of design, who applies her experience in hospital design to dental environments. “Smart design means you won’t miss the slight reduction in square footage per operatory, but you’ll yield six ops for about the same investment as five … and the added income that goes with it.”
