Tooth and Bone LLC: Dental Extractions and Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

By Brian P Kelley

Dental students, general dentists, and oral surgeons will find Tooth and Bone LLC a practical, experience-driven guide to building and running a successful dental practice focused on dental extractions and pre-prosthetic surgery. Blending clinical insight with real-world business strategy, it shows how to create an independent private practice that is both financially strong and clinically responsible.

Written by an oral surgeon, this book challenges the idea that these procedures are the sole domain of oral surgeons. It demonstrates how general dentists, when guided by sound judgment, careful case selection, and an honest understanding of their own abilities, can also build thriving, sustainable practices focused on dental extractions and pre-prosthetic surgery.

The book leads readers through the full structure of an independent dental office, beginning with the foundational business decisions that shape long-term success. It addresses the selection of an appropriate business model, formation of an LLC, banking relationships, insurance needs, accounting systems, and the financial principles necessary to keep a practice stable and profitable.

Detailed guidance is offered on the realities of daily practice management, including record systems, staffing, office workflow, patient intake, chart administration, billing, and end-of-day procedures. In each area, the author favors systems that are efficient, practical, and easy to manage without unnecessary dependence on outside vendors.

Just as importantly, Tooth andBone LLC gives significant attention to the clinical side of care, covering important topics extending from the initial exam of a new patient to the final post procedural follow up. It examines how to determine which procedures to offer, patient selection, the surgical techniques themselves, and the complications that inevitably accompany this area of practice.

Overall, Tooth and Bone LLC offers any dentist looking to be an independent private practitioner a grounded blueprint for building a clinically responsible, operationally efficient, and financially profitable practice focused on dental extractions and pre-prosthetic surgery.
