Running a successful dental practice takes more than clinical skill. Between tracking collections, managing overhead, leading a team, and planning for the future, most practice owners reach a point where they are unsure whether their day-to-day decisions are actually driving growth. The Paragon Program™ was built to give dentists a structured, accountable path to sustainable practice growth, rather than a one-time consultation that fades once the meeting ends.
Participation in All Four Aspects of The Paragon Program™ Is the Key to Your Success
At The Paragon Program™, we expect our clients to grow their practice collections by 7% each year. This is not a one-time goal. It is a repeatable process that our most successful clients apply year after year, which is why we built the program around four components working together rather than any single tool or piece of advice.
You can accomplish sustainable growth by continuously participating in all four aspects of our program:
- Work with your Paragon Consultant
- Attend client-only Events included in the Paragon Program
- Reach Paragon’s 7% Solution
- Regularly access our Resources directory for worksheets, profitability videos, CE, and podcasts
As a result, dentists following this process should double their net income within three to five years. Then we help them do it again, and again. We call this the 7% Solution.
The Four Components of the 7% Solution
1. Work With Your Paragon Consultant
Every Paragon Program™ client is paired with a dedicated Consultant who works alongside you throughout your membership. Your Consultant helps you understand where your practice stands today, financially and operationally, before any goal is set. From there, they help translate the 7% growth target into specific, practice-level actions rather than a generic number on a page.
Your Consultant relationship continues after the initial goal is set. Through regular, one-on-one check-ins, your Consultant helps you track progress, troubleshoot obstacles as they come up, and adjust your plan as your practice changes. The goal is a working partnership, not a single piece of advice delivered once and left for you to implement alone.
2. Attend Client-Only Events
The Paragon Program™ includes access to Events reserved exclusively for our clients. These Events give you the opportunity to learn directly from the Paragon team, hear what strategies are working in other practices going through the same growth process, and connect with fellow dentists who understand the specific challenges of running a practice.
Many of the ideas that help practices reach their 7% goal come not just from a Consultant’s one-on-one guidance, but from seeing how other practices in the program have approached similar challenges. Client-only Events are built to make that kind of shared learning possible.
3. Reach Paragon’s 7% Solution
The 7% Solution is the structured cycle at the center of the Paragon Program™. To achieve 7% growth in three to five years, we help our clients:
- Understand and analyze their current financial situation today
- Set a specific, measurable goal for 7% growth
- Identify the concrete steps needed to reach that goal
- Monitor progress against the plan on an ongoing basis
- Re-analyze results and set new goals once a target is reached
This cycle repeats. Once a practice reaches its 7% goal, we help that practice analyze its new financial position and set the next goal, rather than treating growth as a single finish line.
4. Use the Resources Directory
Growth between Consultant sessions and Events does not stop. Paragon Program™ clients have ongoing access to a Resources directory built to support the 7% Solution between formal check-ins. Inside, you can find worksheets to help apply what you have learned to your own practice, watch profitability videos and continuing education content, and listen to podcasts covering the strategies behind sustainable practice growth.
Clients who make regular use of the Resources directory, alongside their Consultant relationship and Event attendance, are the ones who tend to stay most consistent with their 7% goal year over year.
Why All Four Components Matter Together
Our most successful dentists achieve their 7% Solution by participating in all four components of The Paragon Program™. A Consultant relationship without consistent follow-through, or a goal without a plan to monitor it, is much harder to sustain. The program is built so that each component reinforces the others: your Consultant sets the direction, Events and the Resources directory keep you learning, and the 7% Solution cycle keeps you accountable to real, measurable progress.
Who This Is For
The Paragon Program™ is built for dentists who are ready to treat practice growth as an ongoing discipline, not a one-time project. If you are looking for a structured, accountable process rather than a single piece of advice, and you are willing to participate consistently across all four components, the program is designed around that kind of commitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my practice doesn’t reach its 7% goal in a given year?
Your Consultant works with you to understand what got in the way and adjusts the plan accordingly. The 7% Solution is a repeatable process, so a year that falls short becomes part of the analysis for the next goal rather than a reason to abandon the process.
How is my practice’s 7% growth goal determined?
Your Consultant starts by reviewing your practice’s current financial situation before setting a target. The 7% figure reflects the growth rate we expect our clients to work toward, but the specific steps to get there are built around your practice.
How much time does participating in the Paragon Program™ require?
Consistent participation across all four components, Consultant check-ins, Events, monitoring your 7% Solution, and using the Resources directory, is what our most successful clients have in common. Time commitment varies by practice and where you are in your growth cycle.
Is the Paragon Program™ only for established practices?
