Advanced Care

How we surround our highest-opportunity practices with a
sharp, data-driven team to scale direct-to-consumer growth.

What it is

Practices ready to scale direct-to-consumer

Advanced Care is the label we put on practices with meaningful opportunity to scale their direct-to-consumer business — strong practices where sharper systems, not more clinical skill, unlock the next level of growth. It runs as one program across the SGA portfolio.

Who's in it

Four cohorts, one program

The short list isn't one kind of practice. It spans four direct-to-consumer profiles — each scaled with the same discipline, tuned to how that practice actually grows.

1

DTC full-arch & implants

Practices driving arch and implant demand directly to consumers.

2

DTC cosmetic

Practices scaling cosmetic through paid direct-to-consumer channels.

3

Organic cosmetic

Cosmetic practices whose demand runs primarily through organic channels.

4

GPs with DTC spend

General practices where direct-to-consumer is a meaningful part of the portfolio.

How a practice gets in

Three ways a practice is nominated

A practice earns a place on the team through one of three doorways — two happening today, one the future-state on-ramp.

01 · Today

Sharpen the spend

Already investing meaningfully in paid media — and ready for sharper management, structure, and accountability behind it.

02 · Today

Scale what's working

Already fluent and capable in advanced services, with meaningful restorative revenue today — All-on-X or cosmetic.

03 · Future state

Build the on-ramp

Have dabbled in full-arch and implants, and are ready to be surrounded with the clinical, marketing, and sales infrastructure to shift toward All-on-X.

Why it exists

Strong practices,
under-managed growth

These are already-good practices. They generate demand and they deliver the work. What's missing is the structure to scale direct-to-consumer with discipline — so value leaks between the lead and the ledger.

Demand already exists. 

Leads come in across paid and organic channels.

Delivery already works. 

The clinical skill and chair capacity are in place.

The systems lag. 

Marketing, agencies, the sales journey and lab economics are under-managed. That's the value we recover.
The pattern
They win in the chair. They lose in the systems around it.
Under-managed spend, loose agency accountability, a leaky sales journey, and margin left at the lab. Every one of them is fixable.
How we work

What the team hyper-focuses on

We surround each practice with a sharp, data-driven team locked on four things — the levers that turn direct-to-consumer spend into EBITDA.

01

EBITDA-driven marketing

Direct-to-consumer spend managed to profit, not vanity metrics — every dollar tied back to contribution.

02

Agency accountability

Tighter standards, clear scorecards, and real structure with the marketing agencies we work through.

03

Sales & customer journey

Supporting and optimizing every step from first touch to closed case, so more demand converts.

04

Gross economics & margin

Working labs and other modalities to lift gross margin — and with it, production and EBITDA.

The team

Your people, plus our specialists

Advanced Care works with the practice's own team — every role owning one number — supported by specialists who plug in where they add the most leverage.

At the practice
Doctor — leads clinically, owns the outcome
Regional Ops Director — owns marketing return and EBITDA
Office Manager — owns booking and conversion
Treatment Coordinator — owns the case and its value
Advanced Care specialists
Dedicated lead handling — works every lead fast, no new headcount
Sales & journey coaching — close-rate, financing, and case-value lift
Agency management — holds paid media to the scorecard
Advanced Care team — funds, governs, and holds the standard
How we stay accountable

A cadence, and a number for everyone

The operating cadence
Weekly. Lead-and-conversion stand-up with the office manager.
Monthly. Full-funnel EBITDA scorecard with the ROD, OM and TC — the next spend step is approved or held.
Quarterly. A dedicated sales-and-journey coaching block.
Always-on. One shared, live scorecard everyone can see.
One owner, one number

Pull-back trigger: if a practice stalls against these, we hold spend and fix the process before scaling.
Where this goes

From a short list to a pathway

Today, Advanced Care is a short list and a dedicated team. Over time it becomes a roadmap: any practice with aptitude — a meaningful share of revenue in restorative, All-on-X, or cosmetic — can enter, and we build the systems, people, and P&L structure to scale it with acute, data-driven methodologies.

1

Identify aptitude

A practice with restorative, All-on-X, or cosmetic revenue — and the will to scale it.

2

Build the structure

Stand up the processes, surround the team, and put the P&L structure in place.

3

Scale on the data

Grow direct-to-consumer with acute, data-driven methodologies — measured to EBITDA.

Strong practices. Real demand.
A team and a system built to scale it.
