Our consulting partner
Most health centers settle on dental. Yours doesn’t have to.
Dentistry is not your expertise. It is ours. Optimize Practice Alliance has run health center dental programs from the inside, built the schedule templates and financial models that actually work, and follows a proven process that solves your specific problem, with week-to-week accountability.
For health centers
We know what good looks like.
Settling has symptoms: compressed schedules, four-week waits, providers working below the top of their license, and a dental department nobody upstairs quite knows how to fix. We have seen them all, and fixed them, in health centers like yours.
FQHC-specific consulting
Federal compliance expertise built in: HRSA compliance, UDS reporting guidance, and Rural Health Transformation Program support.
Dental program optimization
Launch support and optimization for dental programs: scheduling templates, staffing models, and the operational tools that hold the gains.
Revenue cycle improvement
Revenue cycle work aligned with patient access, so financial health and community impact grow together.
Results
A proven way to get you there.
The templates and models are already built and tested; we fit them to your sites and your numbers. A scoped engagement, a weekly accountability cadence, and your specific problem solved.

Common questions
What health center leaders ask first.
Yes. Our Practice Optimization Process provides the structure to solve your specific problems. So, if you’re trying to tackle a billing issue or your hygiene workflow – or something else, we will identify that and make a plan to solve it. Often, we find other challenges along the way. That’s where the Practice Optimization Process comes in handy because it is set up to identify, plan for, and solve issues once and for all.
