Dental Practice Manager

Our client in Humble, Texas, has an immediate need for an experienced Dental Practice Manager to oversee the daily operations, financial performance, team leadership, and continued growth of an established pediatric dental practice. This is a direct hire opportunity for a results driven dental operations professional who wants to take ownership of an entire practice rather than simply manage daily schedules and employees. The ideal candidate will bring a strong combination of dental practice operations, financial management, team leadership, and business development experience. We are looking for an operator, not simply an office manager. This individual must be comfortable making decisions, identifying opportunities for improvement, implementing solutions, and taking accountability for measurable results.

Practice Manager Company Profile

Our client is an established, independently owned pediatric dental practice serving children and families throughout the Humble and surrounding Houston communities. The practice has been operating for approximately 11 years and provides comprehensive pediatric dental services, including preventive care, restorative dentistry, sedation services, and general anesthesia. The organization is also expanding its orthodontic services. The practice is entering an exciting phase of operational improvement and growth, creating an opportunity for an experienced leader to make a meaningful impact on its future.

Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, reduce unnecessary expenses, and increase production. Develop and maintain budgets while evaluating spending decisions based on return on investment. Establish consistent reporting processes and communicate performance results to ownership. Implement operational systems that allow the practice to function effectively with minimal daily owner involvement.

Team Leadership and Accountability

Lead, coach, and develop administrative and clinical support employees. Take ownership of staffing decisions, scheduling, recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and employee retention. Establish clear expectations and accountability throughout the practice. Address performance concerns and operational challenges proactively. Develop staffing strategies that balance employee stability, patient demand, and labor costs. Support recruitment and onboarding of associate dentists in coordination with ownership. Foster a positive, professional, and performance driven workplace culture.

Practice Growth and Patient Development

Develop and execute strategies to increase patient volume, production, and practice profitability. Improve appointment scheduling, treatment acceptance, patient retention, and recall processes. Identify opportunities to reduce cancellations, no shows, and unused appointment capacity. Support strategies to expand the practice's commercially insured and PPO patient population. Collaborate with marketing resources to evaluate advertising effectiveness and generate measurable results. Develop community outreach initiatives and referral relationships with schools, physicians, and other local organizations. Track marketing performance, patient acquisition, and return on investment. Identify opportunities to improve provider utilization and maximize available appointment capacity.

Patient Experience and Practice Systems

Ensure exceptional patient and family experiences throughout the practice. Oversee front office operations, patient communications, appointment coordination, and service recovery. Maintain high standards of professionalism, regulatory compliance, and patient safety. Utilize dental practice management software to monitor performance and improve workflows.
