Reasons to Relocate Your Dental Practice

The reasons to relocate include:

a.) a practitioner needs a different facility to expand their practice to new patients
b.) the current dental office space lease is nearing the end of its term
c.) a practitioner may have an interest in moving their practice closer to a population group to which they prefer to provide services
d.) a practitioner who has an established practice may want to move from a retail location to traditional office space

By analyzing a patient address base with REALscore™, a practitioner with an existing practice can determine the best location for relocating their practice.  When patient addresses are mapped and the demographic information for each prospective new location is calculated, the best options become clear.

How Important is Location to Dentists?

It’s extremely important. The practice location decision could be one of, if not the biggest decision a dentist makes. The correct placement of a dental practice could mean the difference between $500,000 and
$1,000,000 in the first year business.

Tons of research on demographics, referral sources, competition, traffic patterns, proximity to hospitals and schools is crucial. Luckily www.realscore.com does all the research and provides a definitive score to locations making dentists, their real estate agents as well as their brokers extremely happy.

“I had no idea where to build, where to go, and I called REALscore and was able to find my location…a location I had no idea even existed. We’ve increased our collections 56% this past year….the success pretty much owed to REALscore.” – Dr. Lori Fitzgerald, DDS
