One
Coordinated
Model

HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance under one advisor.

The expertise of a full HR, payroll, and benefits function — without building one inside your practice.

The Problem

You trained to treat patients. Not to run payroll.

Running a dental practice turned into hygienist pay questions, chasing time cards, and tracking California labor law you never asked to learn.

Every one of those interruptions pulls you out of the chair. In a practice where you produce the revenue, that's the most expensive hour in the building.

The work still has to be right. It doesn't have to be yours.

None of this requires bad intent. A misclassified hygienist or a missed meal-break premium is enough. That's what we make sure never happens.

What We Do

The back-end, handled — in one place.

One partner covering the administrative work that eats your time and creates risk.

Payroll built for dental teams

Production-based pay, hygienist structures, variable schedules, and overtime — calculated correctly and processed on time.

Time tracking

Accurate hours, breaks, and overtime without the manual reconciliation before every run.

CA compliance updates

Wage and hour rules, classifications, and labor law changes tracked ahead of you, not after the fact.

Benefits administration

Enrollment, changes, and open enrollment managed — so the paperwork stops landing on your front desk.

Workers' comp

Coverage handled and kept current, so a claim never becomes an administrative fire drill.

Your assigned advisor

Everything above, run by one named advisor in California who knows your team and your pay structure. Not a rotating queue.

Who It's For

Built for Established Dental Practices.

  • Specialty dental practices

    Orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics — where clinical time is the constraint on the whole business.

  • Cosmetic and elective practices

    Cash-pay, experience-driven practices where the team is part of the brand and staffing stability is visible to every patient.

  • Established and multi-location general practices

    Enough team to create real administrative complexity, and enough at stake to want it handled properly rather than cheaply.

"Our goal is to help you get back to what you love: caring for your patients."
