3 things every dentist should know about business taxes
You’re probably overpaying
If you’re paying over 30% in taxes (federal and state combined), there are likely several deductions that you’re not taking advantage of. At Tooth & Coin, it’s our job to make sure that you do.
Know your entities
Dental practices operating under the wrong business entity can end up paying lots more than business that are choosing their entities strategically. It may seem complex to operate under multiple entities, but the benefits may outweigh the challenges.

Profit Advisory
We all know that setting goals will be essential to growing your budding business. Hitting them is another story. Many dentists who are starting a dental practice from scratch wonder Are my goals achievable? What’s too ambitious and what’s not enough? What can I afford with my loan? How do I get out of debt faster?
Tooth & Coin’s Profit Advisory service was built to help doctors set realistic goals and achieve them. At the beginning of each year, we have a conversation to determine what’s possible with your practice. We help you set your goals and our team checks in throughout the year to keep you on track.
Not growing fast enough? We can come up with a plan to catch you up. Spending too much? We’ll help you create a manageable budget. And when your business starts turning a reliable profit, we can help you figure out what to do with your earnings.
Think about what you could do with an extra $50k toward your business. It’s not uncommon for the team at Tooth & Coin to find up to $50,000 in deductions for dental practice owners during tax time. And it’s no wonder! Our CPAs are experts in the dental field and stay up-to-date on the tax laws that affect you.
Most business owners needs to pay an estimated tax ever quarter. But it can be difficult to accurately predict how much you owe. You may even want to skip the exercise all together and just pay them at the end of the year. Don’t risk fines by ignoring your estimated tax obligations. Tooth & Coin can help you stay on track.
