Teero Academy
Expert guides for the people who actually run dental practices — from billing to operations to growth.
Dental Collections
The Practical Playbook
Across 8 chapters, we cover the full dental revenue cycle—from how collection rate is calculated to the workflows, handoffs, and metrics that help practices collect 98%+ instead of staying in the low 90s.
Dental billing and insurance
Most practices outsource billing without knowing the market rate. The three largest dental billing companies price within a few dollars of each other: roughly $1,400 a month until you clear $40,000 in monthly insurance collections, then 2.5% to 3.5% of what they collect. These guides show where that lands for a practice your size, and what each piece costs.
Hiring and staffing
A temporary hygienist shift has three prices in it: the hygienist’s pay rate, the staffing company’s service fee, and the employer payroll costs for the shift. Only four dental staffing companies publish a fee at all, across three models that do not compare cleanly. These guides show what each one charges, and what hygienists in your market are accepting.
Codes and answers
Two things a front office looks up all day: what a CDT code covers, and what hygienists are paid nearby. Teero keeps a full CDT lookup in plain English, pay data for every state and 2,710 cities, and answers to the questions offices ask us most.
