Starting Your Own Dental Practice | Dental Business Mastery
New Practice Owner Support

So you're thinking about opening your own practice.

It's one of the most exciting decisions you'll ever make, and one of the most complex. We've helped hundreds of dentists navigate this journey, and we'd love to help you too.

This is a big decision. Let's make sure you get it right.

Julie Parker and Ameena Basile

Between us, Ameena and I have over 60 years of experience in the dental industry. We've worked with hundreds of practices across Australia and New Zealand, and we've seen what makes the difference between a practice that thrives and one that struggles from day one.

Most dentists starting out are brilliant clinicians. What they often haven't had the chance to develop yet is the business side of things, the team management, the financials, the systems, and the leadership skills that a practice owner really needs.

That's exactly where we come in. Whether you're 12 months away from opening or you're ready to move now, we can help you build strong foundations and avoid the costly mistakes that are so easy to make when you don't know what you don't know.

We meet you where you're at

There's no single path to practice ownership, and there's no one-size-fits-all support. Here are the ways we work with people who are in the early stages of this journey.

Advisory Program

If you're in the planning stages or the early months of ownership, this is a great place to start. Monthly one-on-one consulting with Ameena and me, no lock-in, just practical guidance tailored to exactly where you're at.
