Event Description

From startup to maturity: Build, expand, and optimize your hygiene program with data-driven confidence.

Whether you’re launching your first practice or scaling a mature operation, this webinar delivers concrete benchmarks, schedule templates, staffing playbooks, and KPI dashboards to help you grow hygiene production strategically—without overcommitting on fixed costs or sacrificing quality.

Discover how to navigate the three critical phases of practice growth: Startup (validate demand, minimize risk), Growth (add capacity deliberately with hybrid staffing), and Maturity (systematize quality through assisted hygiene models). Learn exactly when to hire full-time, how to use flexible staffing to test demand, and which metrics matter most at each stage.

See how ClearDent’s practice management platform integrates seamlessly with TempStars’ dental staffing marketplace to give you real-time scheduling visibility, instant access to qualified professionals, and the flexibility to scale hygiene capacity without the typical hiring headaches.

This one-hour class is eligible for 1 CE Credit.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

  • Map your practice lifecycle and identify which phase-specific strategies will drive the most growth right now
  • Implement no-regret foundations in your first 90 days—online booking, automated reminders, and 10-minute scheduling units that set you up for scale
  • Use data to make hiring decisions with clear benchmarks: when to add your first hygienist, how many active patients justify a full-time hire, and what production mix signals healthy growth
  • Adopt hybrid staffing models that protect revenue during vacations, call-outs, and seasonal peaks without overcommitting to fixed payroll
  • Deploy assisted hygiene workflows to increase throughput by 30–50% (from 8 to 12–13 patients per day) without rushing patient care
  • Track the KPIs that matter and use ClearDent analytics + TempStars flexible staffing to protect your metrics even when staff are out
  • Implement a 30/60/90-day action plan to turn strategy into results—starting next week
