The book is a reference work and practical guide for all dentists who are currently in professional practice or training, whether they are already managing dental practices, working in them, or planning to establish one. From a business perspective, a dental practice is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), with all the resulting economic implications and requirements. The practice owner is responsible for the economic success of their business and must think and act more entrepreneurially than ever before, even though they learn very little about this important aspect of their future role as a dentist during their studies. Therefore, successful management of a dental practice requires expertise in key business areas such as planning and financing.
