PKF O’Connor Davies, one of the nation’s largest accounting, tax and advisory practices, today announced the publication of its 2025 Edition of Dental Practices by the Numbers, delivering industry intelligence based on an extensive analysis of dental practice financial performance. The comprehensive study offers an enhanced, data-driven perspective on dental practice performance to support informed business decisions and strategic planning.
The compiled research provides dental professionals with essential benchmarking data across key performance indicators including revenue optimization, staff compensation patterns, overhead management and profitability metrics within general dentistry, pediatric practices and oral surgery specialties. The 2025 Edition builds on a long-standing commitment to give practice owners a clear picture of how their operations compare to peers at similar revenue levels and across specialties. Organized to highlight how expenses and collections vary by revenue band and specialty, the publication allows dentists to quickly spot gaps in staff costs, facility expenses and other overhead items that may be holding back profitability and practice value.
