ourlinQ for Dentists
How It Works
The Dental industry has developed a very specific set of KPIs that indicate practice performance. This data is readily available within your practice management software. We pull that data from its source to automate your incentive plan.

Incentives for Your Dental Practice Team
Associate or Employee Dentist
Employee dentists are an essential part of your production team. They should be rewarded when they hit their production target goals. The incentive template for an employee dentist is built using monthly billed treatment targets. Alternate incentive rules could be built using the following KPIs: Overhead, Net Income (profit), treatment acceptance or patient satisfaction.


Dental Hygienist
Hygienists are another essential part of your production team and should be rewarded for hitting their own production goals. The incentive template for a hygienist is built using monthly billed treatment targets. Alternate incentive rules could be built using the following KPIs: Overhead, Net Income (profit), treatment acceptance or patient satisfaction.


Dental Assistant
Dental Assistants are a critical key in keeping your dentists and hygienists as productive as possible. The incentive template for an Assistant is built using monthly treatment room production. Alternate incentive rules could be built using the following KPIs: Overhead, Net Income (profit), treatment acceptance or patient satisfaction.


Dental Practice Manager
Dental Practice Managers make sure each area of your practice is performing well. Selecting a single KPI or metric that defines their performance may be difficult. Instead select one that needs improvement or select multiple incentive rules to build their incentive template. The incentive template for a practice manager is built using both treatment acceptance and monthly practice net income (profit). Alternate incentive rules could be built using the following KPIs: Overhead, treatment room production, collections, new patients per month or patient satisfaction.




Dental Billing Specialist
A thorough billing specialist and a well-defined billing process are the key to being paid for the valuable services your practice performs. Reward your billing specialists for making sure your practice gets paid for those services. The incentive template for a billing specialist is based on monthly collection of billed treatments. Alternate incentive rules could be built using the following KPIs: Overhead or Net Income (profit).


Building Your Dental Practice Team Incentive Plan
ourlinQ will come pre-populated with our recommended monthly incentive plan for your dental practice. Simply upload your employees and assign an incentive template to each employee based on their role. You can start your incentive plan as is, or adjust bonus frequency, targets, incentives or add new incentive rules that fit specific initiatives in your organization.
The ourlinQ Team developed the dental practice incentive plan by drawing on industry resources and benchmarking data for bonus amounts and KPI targets published by ADA and DentalPost. However, we recognize that every practice is different, so adjustments may be necessary to achieve your specific goals.
