Dental production per dentist

How much dentistry can a general dentist do in an hour? It depends on a number of factors including staffing and delegation of duties. A dentist with two or three hygienists and two or three registered dental assistants to whom all legally delegated duties are delegated can do a lot more dentistry than a dentist working alone doing his own cleanings. Proveer Practice Management has observed an order of magnitude difference in production per dentist across dental practices in West Michigan.
