Outline
The main goal of the smile dental care is to offer better treatment of the oral
hygiene, oral cancer, retainer care, dental implants, x-rays, mouth sores, root canal,
braces, allergic issues, dental health tips etc. to the local residents of the area. The
business mainly focuses on the people who are living in the area of central business
district. The main aim of the business behind this proposal is:
 offer efficient and professional services to the local residents
 cost effective, affordable and accessible services to the residents of centre;
business district
 The purposed clinic would offer various dental care products and the services
to the local resident in order to make sure that all the allergic issues could be

The main focus of the business is to offer the better services in affordable
process so that the calibration with the patient, stakeholders, local residents could be
improved as well as the business would also be required to focus on the staff and the
professionals.
The business is located near to the central area of the Central business district
from where all the nearby area could be easily accessible. There are less number of
dental cares clinic nearby which would improve the revenue and the performance of
the business (Brandao de Souza, 2009). The overall outcome from the business would
be beneficial for the internal as well as external stakeholders of the business.
Background
The smile dental care is a dental clinic which would mainly focus on the
dental patients and would remove the issues of teeth and oral health through offering
the better and efficient services. On the basis of the reports, it has been identified that
the out of 10 people, 7 people are suffering from the dental issues and thus this
business would make it easier for the business to reach over the BEP point quickly. It
has been found that the population of the area would be improved at a constant
growth rate and along with that, the dental issues in the children are also improving
which would improve the number of patient in the business and thus the total revenue
of the business would be improved as well (Hillestad et al, 2005).

The smile dental care is a good step according to the local district health as it
is making it easier for the local residents to get better services in reduced prices.
Starting the new dental care clinic in the market would help the local residents to
overcome the dental issues and along with the help of the local health district, it
would be easier for the business to grow up quickly and manage all the activities and
operations.
Collaboration has been set by the local health department in order to
commence the business and understand the main issues in the current medical line.
The need of patient, how to improve the flow of patient etc has been discussed with
the local health district to meet the common objective of the business (Reich et al,
2016).
It has been found that the associated cost of the business is higher because of
the some costly equipment and the capital involvement in the business. It has been
found that the fixed cost of the business is higher than the variable cost of the
business. The variable cost includes the salary and wages of the doctors, nurses,
receptionist etc. However, the fixed cost of the business involves the cost of the
equipment, tools, building, land etc. the contract of the business would be of around 2
years at initial level which could be extended by the business with the help of the
local health district (Finkler, Smith, Calabrese & Purtell, 2016). The total staffing,
consumables, utilities, administration and depreciation expenses of the business is $
480,909, $ 2,126,800, $ 14,040, $ 52,000 and $ 32000 which leads to the total cost $
27,05,749. As well as, the total revenue of the business is $ 3,094,0000.
Currently, there is very little number of dental clinics in the market which are
also following the traditional process to resolve the dental issues in the business. The
smile dental clinic makes it easier for the patient to get better services and treatment
in the lesser prices (Kroneman et al, 2016). It would be easily accessible by them and
the professional team of the clinic would also build a strong relationship with the
patient so that the mouth publicity of the clinic could be improved and it leads to the
business towards the higher profitability level.
