How to set up a new Dental Clinic

This article focuses on young dentists , who with long standing MDS dream were not able to crack MDS entrance and are unable to pay heavy capitation fees.... DON'T GIVE UP

With increased  competition in mds entrance exams for few govt. seats have let down lot of MDS aspirants. The fee structure for  MDS seats in private colleges have gown up to 6-7 lakhs a year, which is beyond the reach of common middle class family. So once again comes the big question,





WHAT NEXT?

WHAT AFTER BDS ?

For all my dear aspirants,

DON'T GIVE UP.


You are already a professional BDS doctor. Don't underestimate your BDS skills and Qualifications. Obviously the best scenario is in being able to pursue a PG degree. But, this is not always possible as mentioned above.



If you still don't believe me, here are few facts:

1. On an average , a BDS practitioner is making one lakh a month.
2. There is huge demand for dentists in outskirts of all cities in INDIA.
3. Why do you want to setup clinic only in central hubs , there is huge potential in sub urbs.
4. Paying capacity of patients is less in remote areas but number of patients is more.
5. Some of the best dentists are the ones with only a bachelor’s degree. They have reached the pinnacle of their profession through the dint of hard work & constant self-examination.

So , its high time now take the big decision.START your own private practice.

What you require ?

1. A BDS degree. (which you already have)
2. Get 6 month experience of clinical work  in a reputed dental clinic under a qualified dental practitioner.This will boost your confidence and you will how to handle patients at private clinics.
3. A diploma or a short course in aesthetic dentistry or endodontics is always a help.
4. Preferably look for a shop in good commercial area or near by a hospital. You need not buy it, you can always start on a rented shop.
5. If you can get associated with an ENT or MS (eye) , you can start a PolyClinic in patnership.
6. Minimum space advised is 250 sqft. More than this is a luxury.

Equipment and Material : (costs range between 3 to 5 lakhs )




1. A Dental Chair : Go for a brand which provides service in your area.  (1 to 4 lakhs)
2. Compressor : min. 20 litres capacity ( 10 to 20 thousand)

5 Common Dental Problems (for a layman)


  • DECAY: The most common problem, often seen as blackish or brownish spots and can cause a lot of sensitivity and pain too!

  • GUM PROBLEMS: Red, swollen gums can hurt a lot, can bleed when you brush, cause your teeth to become lose and can be a major cause of bad breath

  • CROWDED / PROTRUDED TEETH: An extremely unaesthetic scenario with difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene.

  • MISSING TEETH: Can cause ugly looking gaps when you smile and makes chewing difficult. Also causes loss of adjacent teeth over time, if not replaced soon.

  • DISCOLORED TEETH: Can arise from a variety of reasons, resulting in a totally unaesthetic appearance.

WHAT AFTER BDS?


With increased competition , lack of jobs and variety of options , it has become a big confusion as to which direction you should choose.

Last few days before completion of your degree , you will find yourself in state of dilema , mixed feelings . The excitement of completion and the big question >>> WHAT NEXT? WHAT AFTER BDS?

HERE IS A SMALL EFFORT TO HELP YOU CHOOSE >>> REST >>CHOICE IS YOURS !!

1. MDS >> Most sorted and wanted option after BDS. Still the most opted option , inspite of decreased jobs and increased fee. To be precise MDS is a gateway to better things in life, but may be not the best.

To get addmission in MDS you can either spend few 30-40 lakhs or study to clear an MDS entrance exam. For the former I can't help you , may be your dad can , but for the later here are few articles which can be of help.

Ten reasons why you should / shouldn't do MDS
FAQ's About MDS entrance
MDS prepration >> TIPS & TRICKS

MDS COACHING/TEST SERIES

2. ADC >> Still there is a great demand for dentists in overseas countries and the most preferred destination is Australia. Clear the australian licensure exam and start earning in dollars. But the road is not as easy as it sounds . Follow the links below for more info on this....

3. NBDE >> Dentists remain to be among the most rich in US.Clear NBDE part 1 exam >> DDS >> earn in Dollars. But this is not all , the journey is full of hurdles . I have tried to explain in various articles below.

FAQ'S NBDE
NBDE SYLLABUS
NBDE STUDY MATERIAL
TIPS : NBDE

NBDE PREPARATION TIPS
WHAT IS NBDE ?
NBDE INFO
NBDE TEST SERIES/MOCK EXAM


4. Clinical Practice > This is what 90 % of BDS passouts eventually do . Set up a good dental clinic ,but again you should have the infrastructure, machinery , location and most importantly the required clinical skills.Find more about clinical dental practice in subsequent articles.

5. Diplomas/ certificate courses > Diploma or a certificate course in Implants / orthodontics or aesthetics is recommended if you plan to open up or you are already running your practice.It will not hold any academic value.

6. MHA > Masters in hospital administration offers a new option after graduation . Many of the multi speciality hospitals offer good pay scales to administrators. It will be a requirement in almost every hospital soon.

Find more in the article below

MBA OR MDS?

7. MPH > Masters in public health is a dry subject but it may sound interesting if you get to know salary packages attached to these professionals. WHO , red cross and similar govt . bodies provide good jobs after completion.The only drawback is you get cut off from dentistry.

8. Clinical research > With lack of jobs in various fields clinical research have come up , giving jobs to medicos/dentos in pharmaceutical companies. Dentistry is gone. You get an average package .

9. ORE >> Overseas registration examination is an exam conducted by general dental council United Kingdom for entry into european union countries . Find elaborated article below.


ORE FOR ENTRY TO U.K.

10. I am also searching for another option , may be you guys can suggest one . Add your views in comment section below.
