Show me the numbers: KPIs every dental leader should be tracking
Most dental practices are running their hygiene department at well below 10% periodontal therapy rates — while half to three-quarters of adult patients have some form of gum disease. That's not a clinical problem. It's a systems and measurement problem.
In this session, Brandy Hooker Evans shows dental leaders how to close that gap by tracking the one KPI that creates a ripple effect across the entire practice. Starting in the hygiene chair, she walks through how a five-step assessment protocol — done consistently, as a team — can triple hygiene production, drive restorative care, and eliminate the need for traditional case presentation.
Numbers without heart don't work. But when you care about the right things, the numbers take care of themselves.

- The five non-negotiables of assessment — and why skipping any one of them is costing your practice more than you think
- How a consistent perio protocol can triple hygiene production — from $100/hour to $333/hour — without a single extra patient
- Why case presentation becomes unnecessary when patients diagnose their own disease — and exactly how to get them there
- How the entire team — assistants, front desk, and hygienists — plays a role in KPI performance, and how to align them around one goal
