Dental Leadership to Fit the Needs of Your Practice

Dental Operations Support

As the Dental Leadership Organization, Lightwave aligns with top doctors looking to grow by providing dental practice operational support that enables them to maintain a more efficient dental practice and grow organically. At Lightwave, our engine is our people, and a unique feature that benefits every practice in our footprint is the assignment of a regional director as quarterback for all support needs. Everything flows through this operator who serves as captain for Lightwave support teams that handle specific management and administrative functions.

“When I think of a DSO, I think of a corporation coming in and controlling what you do. Patient care goes out the window, because it’s all about money. We are living proof that is not the case. Lightwave is an organization that is run by very smart people who care about their teams, and they’re not out for the bottom line dollar.” — Dr. Jonathan Boes, Triangle Family Dentistry

Benefits of Dental Operations Support:

  • Ongoing single point of contact for operational needs
  • Monthly onsite visits with subject matter experts
  • Servant-leader approach to collaborate on best practices
  • Management accountability for projects, tasks & training
  • Strategic approach to relationships designed to grow practice

Lightwave Offers A Servant-Leader Approach

Dentists and their staffs are often tasked with administrative burdens that can take energy away from patient care. With Lightwave’s servant-leader management approach, we offer a menu of business administration and operational support options that dental practice leaders can choose to engage. Our department experts are also available to train dental staff on new technologies and best practices. With Lightwave, dental leaders have a collaborative team ready to support their operational needs and help them grow.

Dedicated To Your Practice Needs

In cooperation with your staff, Lightwave assists with strategic planning to outline specific needs and assign responsibilities for implementation. Each regional director is a field operator and small business dental office expert who can help to prioritize when to recommend a search for a new associate, how to hire a hygienist, when to do marketing, and so forth. Our approach as servant leaders means we do not force a practice to use a particular service, product, or technology. Lightwave provides a menu of options. We can help. We can train your staff on how to do it. Or, we can connect you with a resource to handle your needs.

Lightwave subject matter experts work through the regional director to support your operations. You can expect ongoing communications with monthly onsite visits. The regional director prioritizes support and is responsible for accomplishing important projects. Think of a Lightwave regional director as your practice’s trusted head of operations, and the person you can rely on to make things happen that help your practice grow.
