GP Financial Benchmarks

Target 59-62% total overhead. Breakdown: staff costs 22-28%, facility 5-7%, lab fees 8-10%, dental supplies 4-6%, marketing 5-10%, administrative 3-5%. If overhead exceeds 65%, profitability is at risk.

Solo dental practices should target 30-40% net profit margin (after all expenses, before owner compensation). Average dentist net income is $208,000 for general dentists. If margins fall below 25%, review overhead categories.
