Build Your Dream Practice: The Right Way from Day One

Launching a new dental practice is one of the most exciting opportunities of your career. You get to shape your vision, your culture, your team – everything. But with that freedom comes a challenge: there’s no roadmap, and every decision counts.

That’s where Bent Ericksen & Associates comes in.

For over 45 years, we’ve helped dental and healthcare professionals start strong with solid HR systems, compliant policies, and practical support that grows with their business.

Start Smart.

Stay Compliant.

From your first hire to your first handbook, our HR Director Management System ensures you start on the right foot: organized, compliant, and confident.

No guesswork. No Googling. No misunderstandings. Just clarity from day one.

We’ll help you:
  • Set up compliant HR systems that scale as your practice grows
  • Build strong foundations for policies, onboarding, and communication
  • Avoid early missteps that lead to confusion, turnover, or liability
  • Create a culture that attracts the right team—people who believe in your vision

Real Support for First-Time Practice Owners

Most startup owners are brand-new to HR and people management. That’s why our HR Specialists are more than consultants; they’re guides.

When you face something for the first time, like hiring, benefits, or employee disputes, you’ll have an expert by your side who’s seen it before and knows how to handle it.

We can also help you understand:

  • What benefits other practices offer (and what’s realistic for your budget)
  • What’s “normal” for pay, time off, and policies in your market
  • How to evolve your HR systems as your practice and team expand

Focus on Growth, Not HR Headaches

Building a patient base from zero takes your full attention. The last thing you need is employee drama, policy confusion, or compliance issues pulling you away from your goals.

With Bent Ericksen, you can stay focused on building your dream practice, while we handle the details that keep it running smoothly.
