LogoDental Tech Advisory
Measured. Documented. Delivered.

When a practice owner finally meets someone who reads both the X-ray and the balance sheet.

We audit dental practices running on decade-old panoramic units and deliver a technology roadmap — CBCT, intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM — with every recommendation tied to a revenue figure and a payback period. No rep relationships. No inventory to move.

Five-Phase Engagement

Nothing is hidden.
Every outcome is quantified.

Click each phase to see exact deliverables, typical duration, and what a client said when it was done.

We map every piece of equipment, every workflow bottleneck, every missed billing code.

Deliverables

  • Full equipment inventory with age, service history, and depreciation schedule
  • Workflow analysis across all operatories — where time is lost, where revenue leaks
  • Current imaging capability gap report vs. peer practices in your market
  • Patient case acceptance data cross-referenced against diagnostic limitations

He walked our practice in one afternoon and found $140K in annual revenue we were leaving on the table — just from cases we couldn't diagnose with our existing panoramic.

$140K identified in audit phase alone

Every recommendation is tied to a revenue figure, a payback period, and a second opinion from the numbers.

Deliverables

  • Vendor-neutral technology matrix: CBCT, intraoral scanners, CAD/CAM, practice management integration
  • Three-scenario financial model: conservative, moderate, and aggressive adoption paths
  • Rep negotiation briefing — what to ask, what to walk away from, what they won't volunteer
  • Prioritized implementation sequence based on your cash flow and case mix

The recommendation deck was unlike anything I'd seen from a vendor. Every number was sourced. Every projection had a methodology footnote. I knew exactly what I was buying and why.

Dr. James Okonkwo, DMD — Solo practice expansion, Charlotte

$2.1M 5-year revenue model delivered

We sit across the table from the reps so you don't have to negotiate blind.

Deliverables

  • Vendor RFP management — we issue, collect, and score competitive bids
  • Contract review: warranty terms, service agreement red flags, upgrade path language
  • Financing structure analysis — lease vs. purchase vs. Section 179 implications
  • Final vendor selection with documented rationale and fallback options

They saved us $67K off the initial CBCT quote just by knowing which line items were negotiable. That's more than their entire fee.

$67K saved in procurement negotiation

Downtime is revenue. We coordinate installation so the chair stays billable.

Deliverables

  • Installation project management — vendor coordination, IT infrastructure, HIPAA compliance
  • Operatory workflow redesign around new equipment placement
  • Integration verification: DICOM compliance, practice management software handshake
  • Pre-launch checklist: radiation safety, state licensing requirements, insurance credentialing

Our CBCT was live and billing in 11 days. Zero downtime on the other operatories. I expected at least two weeks of disruption.

Dr. Thomas Brennan, DDS — 9-operatory practice, Denver

11-day installation, zero operatory downtime

Equipment sitting unused is the most expensive thing in your practice.

Deliverables

  • Clinical team training: scan technique, image interpretation, case presentation protocols
  • Front desk training: patient communication scripts for new diagnostic capabilities
  • Billing and coding update: new CDT codes, insurance pre-authorization workflow
  • 90-day utilization review with benchmarks and course-correction recommendations

By week six, our intraoral scanner was being used on 80% of new patient exams. Our case acceptance rate jumped 34%. The training made the difference.

Dr. Alicia Fontaine, DMD — Group practice, Boston

34% case acceptance increase post-training

Typical engagement begins within 10 business days of initial call.

Every engagement. Every number. Every outcome on record.

“The difference between a vendor presentation and a technology roadmap is someone who has no equipment to sell you.”
