A solo dental practice has a flat structure: the Dentist-Owner runs clinical, the Office Manager runs admin, and everyone else falls under one of those two. Group practices add an Associate Dentist track and a Director of Operations who coordinates across multiple chairs.

Frequently asked questions
What does a typical dental practice org chart look like?
A typical solo dental practice has the Dentist-Owner at the top, an Office Manager running admin, a Lead Hygienist running clinical hygiene, and 6 to 20 total staff including hygienists, dental assistants, front desk, billing, and a treatment coordinator.
When does a dental practice need a treatment coordinator?
Once monthly production passes about 75 thousand or case acceptance starts dropping, a dedicated Treatment Coordinator usually pays for itself in three months. They own the post-exam financial conversation that hygienists and assistants are not trained for.
How is a group dental practice chart different from a solo practice?
Group practices add an Associate Dentist track under the Owner-Doctor and usually a Director of Operations between the Owner and the Office Managers at each location. Hygiene scales out one Lead Hygienist per location.
