AboutUs
Dental Practice Resource Group was formedwith the sole mission of helping busy dental practices solve theirpractice related issues. Our team members have been practicing andcollaborating on various projects over the last two decades andhave come under the same umbrella a few years ago. We are veryexcited to have merged with Singularis Media Group and now haveexpanded our services. We have been using Singularis Media Groupsweb services for SEO, link building and video marketing for thelast two years so the partnership was the next logicalprogression.
As busy clinicians it is very difficult tofind the time to develop policies and procedures from scratch. Whyreinvent the wheel? Dentistry at its core is the same wherever itis practiced; however, the nuances of practice management andmarketing are what set apart the most successful dentists.
Our mission was to create a series ofresources on a wide variety of topics specific to the dentaloffice. Over the last year, we have been refining these resourcesand making them available to our fellow colleagues in the dentalindustry. We strive to make these resources valuable yet clean andsimple. We have been told that their format allows for easymodification and customization based on the dental practice thatutilizes them. With that in mind, we are making all of ourresources available in a variety of formats (PDF, eBook, MS Word,RTF). Several of these formats lend for modification and can betailored to any dental practice needs.
Our team is experienced and comes from adiverse background across different areas of dentistry. For thatreason, we believe that our resources have a distinct advantageover what is otherwise available. Our business model is centeredaround a dental office and all of these resources and web-basedstrategies have been implemented in our own practice. Our teamconsists of dedicated health professionals who happen to bepassionate about dental marketing and education.
Being a dentist and transforming lives (andsmiles) has never been more rewarding. We know you will find valuein this resource. Visit our website and see what else we have tooffer.

The information contained within is what weuse in our practice and office management strategy. We thought:Why reinvent the wheel? By sharing the tools we have developedover the last 15 years we hope to simplify the approach to commonissues for the dental office. We make our disclaimer here that noguarantee of any sort exists and the reader/user takes it uponthemselves to adapt, modify and research how to best implement astrategy that makes practical sense for their unique situation. Weare not giving legal, accounting, dental or medical advice but onlyput forth these guides to share knowledge and hope that in doing soit will free up time for the dentist or office manager to focus onwhat matters the most the patients!

Employee Manual
Policy Overview & Mission Statement
Employee Manual
This is the new employee handbook we havedeveloped for use and modification. We have taken this template andexpanded it for each of the practice locations. This is alsoavailable for purchase as a MS Word format for your use andmodification. Please let us know or locate it on the website( DentalPracticeResourceGroup.com ).
The terms used to identify a practice,dentist and employee were purposely left generic to allow thismanual to stand alone as is without significant modification or toserve as a working template to create a unique manual customizedfor any practice needs.
Why reinvent the wheel? If your office doesnot have such a manual or you are just starting your very firstpractice or perhaps opening a new office, Dental Practice ResourceGroup has the resources and tools to make your life easier.
Please review the details contained withinthis document, as certain aspects will require change: officehours, time off, paid CE, etc.
