The first step an owner needs to take is reviewing year-to-date or year-end income statement, divided by location. If the owner has satellite practices with one dentist in each, it is easy for the owner to determine the performance and profitability.

However, no agreed-upon standard for this evaluation exists as yet, according to the report.
