Practice Performance
Owners run the business on scheduling reports and instinct.
Executive-level visibility, peer benchmarking and a prioritized view of where margin is being lost.
How We Help Clients
We work on the business behind the dentistry.
Pento operates alongside owners as a performance partner — closing the operational gap between independent practices and consolidators, without equity, practice sale or clinical control.
30-minute introductory conversation. No obligation.
Where we focus
Six areas where practice value is created or lost.
Each engagement starts with the constraint that matters most, then extends across the operating model as results compound.
Revenue & Collections
Aged AR, denials and underpayments accumulate without an accountable owner.
A managed revenue cycle with claim discipline, denial recovery and measured collection outcomes.
Payer Strategy
Contracts renew on autopilot at rates that no longer reflect the practice's value.
Fee schedule analysis, reimbursement modeling and negotiation support that treats payer mix as a margin decision.
Patient Growth
Marketing spend can't be tied back to collected revenue.
Acquisition, treatment acceptance and reactivation systems measured to production, not impressions.
Data & AI
The data exists but nobody has time to interpret it.
Pento Intelligence surfaces what changed, why it matters and what to do next — in priority order.
Scale & Infrastructure
Growth adds overhead faster than it adds EBITDA.
Standardized workflows, shared services and group infrastructure built before corporate headcount.
How an engagement runs
Diagnose, quantify, implement, review.
01
Diagnose the business
A Pento 360 Assessment establishes a benchmarked read of performance across clinical, financial and operational dimensions.
02
Quantify the opportunity
Identified gaps are sized into an EBITDA Opportunity Map so decisions are made against dollars, not opinions.
03
Implement with ownership
Pento deploys the workflows, technology and operating resources required — every item carries an owner and a timeline.
04
Review monthly
Executive operating reviews hold results accountable and reset priorities as the business changes.
