One Piece of Advice for Dentists Starting a Squat Practice

Setting up a squat dental practice can be a hugely rewarding step, but it requires careful planning from the outset.

Start with research.

Be clear on what you’re trying to create and why. Location, patient demand, competition, and long-term vision all matter. Just as importantly, take a realistic view on what you can afford, not just the build, but the full journey to a functioning, profitable practice.

Speaking to people with experience is invaluable. Those who have been through a squat project, or who work closely with them, can help you understand timelines, costs, and common challenges.

Preparation is key. You’ll need to have your information in order: your financial position, your plans, and your overall readiness. The more clarity you have, the smoother the process tends to be.

Finally, surround yourself with the right people.

Specialists who understand dental projects can make a significant difference, particularly when it comes to areas like legal structuring and build delivery. Working with experienced dental solicitors and dental builders helps ensure that both the legal and practical aspects of your project are handled properly.

The principle is simple: do the groundwork, get informed advice, and build the right team around you.
