Our Mission
Bob Affleck and Jayden Bell created Dental Coach USA to fill a critical gap in dental education—the business side of practice ownership. Our partnership for dentists goes beyond traditional consulting by serving as dedicated buyer advocates throughout your acquisition process.
We maintain complete independence from dental suppliers, guaranteeing our advice serves only your interests. Through strategic business planning and practice management coaching, we prepare dental professionals to make informed ownership decisions that benefit both their careers and patient care quality.
Dental Buyer Coaching
Buying a dental practice involves complex financing, negotiations, and operational challenges that can overwhelm new owners. We eliminate uncertainty by connecting you with specialized coaches who’ve guided hundreds of successful acquisitions. Our comprehensive approach protects your investment while ensuring a smooth transition to ownership.
Starting with your unique vision, we identify ideal practice opportunities and secure optimal financing terms. Due diligence experts evaluate each prospect thoroughly before our transition specialists prepare you for ownership success. Dental Coach USA forms a lasting partnership for dentists, delivering ongoing support that prevents the typical revenue drops experienced during practice transfers.
Dental Practice Management Coaching
Ambitious dental professionals often struggle with stagnant patient numbers, inefficient workflows, and underperforming teams despite strong clinical skills. We specialize in transforming practice operations through behavioral analysis of your current systems and targeted improvement strategies. Our coaches identify bottlenecks preventing growth while developing leadership capabilities that inspire exceptional team performance.
Every engagement starts with financial forecasting tools that reveal your practice’s true profit potential within six months. Dental Coach USA then implements custom training protocols based on successful DSO methodologies, working directly with your staff to refine patient communication and treatment acceptance rates. This partnership for dentists creates measurable results through systematic process improvements and accountability structures designed for long-term success.
Buying a Dental Practice: The 8-Step Coaching Process
Step 1: Vision & Planning Session
We begin by learning about your dream practice—where you want to live, how you want to work, and what legacy you want to build. Together, we establish your vision, mission, goals, and personal philosophy. From there, we create a tailored comprehensive action plan and introduce you to your dedicated team of coaches. You’ll never feel alone in this journey.
Step 2: Identifying the Right Practice
We help you locate practices in your ideal area that align with your vision. With our proven outreach strategy, we’ll guide you in contacting potential sellers. Once a match is found, our legal team assists with crafting your Letter of Intent (LOI).
Step 3: Practice Financing
We eliminate the guesswork in securing funding by connecting you with lenders who offer the best rates and terms. We handle communication and documentation on your behalf to ensure a smooth, stress-free lending process.
Step 4: Due Diligence & Business Evaluation
Your due diligence coach conducts a comprehensive business analysis, including financial review and operational health. This ensures you understand the strengths, weaknesses, and potential of the practice before you invest.
Step 5: Branding & Marketing Setup
Before ownership begins, you’ll work with a top-tier marketing coach to build your personal brand. This includes developing your story, creating your new website, and establishing your online presence—all ready to launch the day you take over.
Step 6: Insurance Credentialing
Navigating insurance doesn’t have to be painful. Our credentialing coach ensures you’re signed up with the right providers and negotiates optimal fees. We’ll even revisit this in a few years to re-negotiate for better rates.
Step 7: Smooth Transition Support
Taking over a practice can feel overwhelming. That’s why you’ll work with a transition coach to learn systems, manage your new team, and gain confidence in your leadership. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
Step 8: Adding Value & Growing Revenue
Most new practice owners lose 10% of monthly revenue. We flip the script. You’ll be introduced to simple, high-impact value-add services that generate immediate growth. You’ll also be enrolled in our ongoing coaching membership for continued support and access to trainings.
