Methodology & assumptions
Production ceiling is calculated as the sum of hygiene capacity (hygienists × hours/week × production/hour × 4.33 weeks/month) and doctor capacity (associates × daily production × days/month), adjusted for operatory availability. Utilization is calculated against a theoretical maximum of 100% chair occupancy during scheduled hours. Industry benchmarks sourced from ADA Health Policy Institute surveys and Arthur Marshall internal placement data. This tool produces estimates — actual results vary by schedule density, case mix, payor mix, and collection process.
