Does This Sound Like Your Dental Clinic?

If you are a busy Dentist-Owner, this probably sounds familiar:

Your schedule is full, but your take‑home pay does not match the effort.
PPO write‑offs quietly eat 30–40% of your production.
Your team spends hours each week chasing EOBs, fixing claims, and explaining “why insurance did not cover it.”
You keep hearing “go fee‑for‑service”… but when you ask how to do it without blowing up your practice, you get vague theory, not a plan.

You are right to be cautious.

Dropping the wrong plan, at the wrong time, with the wrong messaging can hurt you. But staying stuck in PPO overload slowly hurts you too.

You do not need generic consulting.

You need a conservative, numbers‑backed PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint designed by someone who has done it as an owner‑operator.

Life After A Successful PPO‑to‑FFS Transition

Imagine 12–18 months from now:

You have reduced or eliminated your worst‑paying plans and your effective reimbursement per hour is substantially higher.
Your hygiene and doctor columns are still full, now with patients who value the relationship more than the insurance card.
Your front office follows clear scripts and policies; insurance no longer dominates every conversation.
You have reclaimed margin and mental bandwidth to focus on better dentistry and leading your team, not constant insurance firefighting.

That is what a well‑designed PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint delivers:Less chaos. Better patients. Higher profit per hour. More control.

Why You Are Stuck In PPOs

Here is the truth behind why you are stuck in PPOs:

It is not because you lack courage. You are a Dentist and Small Business Owner.

Most practices stay PPO‑heavy because:

No one has shown you the math. You do not have clear profit per plan, per procedure, per hour.
Advice is oversimplified. “Just drop these plans” ignores your local market, capacity, and specific fee schedules.
The feedback loop is slow. It can take 90 days just for a contract change to take effect, and up to a year for the full financial impact to show.
Change feels like “more work.” Data pulls, team training, patient letters… for an already overloaded owner, it feels impossible to add a complex FFS project on top.

So you stay where you are:

Busy. Tired. Underpaid. Unsure which move is actually safe.

The problem is not you. It is the lack of a conservative, de‑risked process for moving from PPO‑heavy to FFS‑freedom.

The Snapshot is where we start building that process from your actual numbers.

You have reclaimed margin and mental bandwidth to focus on better dentistry and leading your team, not constant insurance firefighting.

About Dental Profit Advisory

I’m Bryan Mann, CEO and Founder of Dental Profit Advisory.

I am a businessman with a background in scaling service‑based businesses. I hold a Master of Business Administration from the University of Notre Dame and Mmy wife, Courtney, is a skilled, highly passionate dentist with over a decade of clinical experience. Together, we own and operate two thriving dental clinics in the highly competitive southwest metro of Minneapolis.

We run our clinics on one guiding principle:

“Good Dentistry is Good Business, and Good Business is Good Dentistry.”

When we took over our clnics, they were in trouble: losing money, lacking systems, and, frankly, earning their poor reputations. The model was broken. Every month closed in the red, margins were being crushed by low reimbursements and rising costs, and the patient base and dental insurance plan mix were unsustainable.

We had two options: fix the business, or close the doors.

So we:

Rebuilt the business model and insurance mix
Dropped and renegotiated the worst plans and cut direct contact leasing networks
Installed real systems: SOPs, online scheduling, real‑time verification, A/R discipline
Rebranded, overhauled the website, and built referral and membership programs
Upgraded equipment and facilities, hired and fired deliberately, and rebuilt culture

The result: revenue grew by more than 50%, write‑offs were cut dramatically, we navigated a hygienist shortage, and each clinic now sees 40–50+ new patients per month, placing us in the top tier for practices of our size. More importantly, reputational damage turned into genuine brand equity in the communities we serve.

I know how nearly impossible it feels to work full‑time in the practice and full‑time on the business. I know what it is like to absorb rising costs for equipment, labs, and supplies while trying to pay competitive wages in a tight labor market, all while reimbursement stays flat and corporate dentistry keeps expanding.

Despite that, I believe owner‑operated private practices deliver the best outcomes for patients. But to survive, they need better business and insurance strategy, not just better clinical skills.

That is why I built Dental Profit Advisory and the PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint: to give owner‑dentists a conservative, numbers‑backed path out of PPO dependence and into a healthier, more controllable model. The first step is simple and free: your Insurance Profit Snapshot™.

To the practice you deserve,

Bryan Mann, MBA CEO & Founder

What Makes Dental Profit Advisory Different

Owner‑operator perspective, not armchair theory
I am a business operator and MBA who co‑owns two clinics with my wife, a practicing dentist. We have lived the exact problems you’re facing: thin margins, PPO dependence, staff shortages, and reputational damage in a competitive market.
Conservative, numbers‑first approach
Every PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint is built from your actual KPIs and modeled through conservative scenarios. No “burn the boats” advice, no wishful thinking. If the math does not work, we do not recommend the move.
Plan‑by‑plan clarity
You will not get vague “Go Fee-For-Service!” cheerleading. You will see exactly which plans are dragging you down, which to keep, which to change or exit, and in what order, with clear checkpoints along the way.
Team‑ready implementation tools
Your staff is already busy. That is why you get a practical Insurance Profit Scorecard, ready‑to‑use scripts and letters, checklists, and regular calls so no one has to invent solutions from scratch.
Selective client acceptance
I only take on practices where the modeled upside clearly justifies the investment and the owner is ready to make decisions. This keeps incentives aligned and protects both of us.
Built for owner‑operated private practice
We believe owner‑operators deliver the best outcomes for patients. Dental Profit Advisory exists to help those practices stay independent and profitable in a flat‑reimbursement, rising‑cost environment.

Investment

You are not considering this to buy more “consulting hours.”
You are considering it because the current model is squeezing your margins and independence, and you want a safer, clearer path out of PPO dependence.

For the right practice, a well‑executed PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint can conservatively unlock tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional profit over the coming years if it’s implemented.

The engagement is:

Project‑based, not hourly
You are investing in a complete PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint and guided implementation phase, not “time on the phone.”
Designed for established, busy practices
Typically $1M–$3M+ in collections, 1–3 doctors, with significant PPO volume and capacity strain.
Priced as a fraction of modeled upside
We only propose a Blueprint when your Snapshot and initial modeling suggest a strong, conservative economic case for your practice.

Because every clinic’s size, payer mix, and goals are different, we cover exact scope, investment, and guarantee eligibility privately on your PPO‑to‑FFS Blueprint Call, after reviewing your Insurance Profit Snapshot™.

No pressure. No surprises. Clear recommendation grounded in your own numbers.
