Running a dental practice requires substantial capital. You have to take care of a range of expenses, from meeting payroll costs to subscribing to digital medical practice software. You will have to address daily operational expenses like rent, maintenance, utility, and dental disposables. Then, you may also make big-ticket purchases like dental chairs, dental equipment, and procuring medical supplies.
