The foundations of building and developing
a modern dental practice
Why this program
FACTS
The reality of private dentistry in Romania
- In the last 10 years, the number of dentists in Romania has doubled, reaching approximately 25,000 active practitioners.
- 14.5% of dental graduates in the European Union are trained in Romania, although the country’s population represents less than 4% of the EU population.
- The ratio is 1 dentist per 735 residents, compared to the European average of 1 per 1,230 residents.
- In major university centers, there is approximately 1 dentist per 250–300 residents, making professional competition significantly higher.
- 73% of young dentists consider the lack of practical experience the main challenge at the beginning of their career, and 82% state that the high number of graduates makes professional integration difficult. (CMSR Young Barometer).
In this context, clinical competence alone no longer makes the difference. A modern practice needs strategy, organization, leadership, and an excellent patient experience. These are exactly the foundations on which Dental Start-Up Essentials is built.
