The Dunton Method:
Your Pathway to Success
Tailored consultancy that works with your practice — not against it.
When I step into a dental practice, I’m not there to hand you a list of what’s wrong and walk away.
I’m there to help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface — and to work alongside you to put it right.
The truth is, most problems aren’t just about compliance, or systems, or diaries.
They’re about people, communication, leadership, and clarity.
Your team might know the protocols.
But are they engaged?
Do they understand the “why” — not just the “how”?
Are your patients feeling the benefit?
Are you growing the way you want to?
The Dunton Method is my signature consultancy approach — designed to meet your practice exactly where you are now, and help you get to where you want to be.
It’s not a one-size-fits-all programme.
It’s not a quick fix.
It’s a plan, built together, that gives you the support, structure, and accountability to create meaningful change.
What Does The Dunton Method Involve?
Business Audit & Honest Review
We start with a deep dive into your practice:
Looking at your mission and whether your day-to-day reality reflects it.
Mapping your full patient journey — from first contact to recall.
Understanding your team dynamics and where the pressure points are.
Reviewing risk, compliance, and CQC with practical, not paper-based, solutions.
Patient Journey & Treatment Acceptance
Aligning your patient experience with your clinical values.
Supporting treatment acceptance through ethical communication and shared decision-making.
Reducing patient drop-off, improving engagement, and enhancing retention.
“The patient journey isn’t just clinical — it’s emotional.”
Income Growth & Diary Management
Capacity planning to maximise your diary without burning out your team.
Profitability reviews — identifying where growth is possible without compromise.
Fee alignment and strategy for stable, healthy revenue.
Leadership Coaching & Team Engagement
One-to-one leadership coaching for owners and managers.
Personality profiling and communication insights for your whole team.
Staff one-to-ones and engagement mapping — because leadership starts with listening.
Practical steps to build trust, accountability, and morale across your business.
Compliance & Risk Simplified
CQC support and risk assessments that feel achievable, not overwhelming.
Embedding systems that support your growth — rather than add to your stress.
How the Programme Works
Initial full practice assessment (on-site where possible).
Bespoke action plan, built collaboratively.
Ongoing support with on-site visits, remote check-ins, and monthly reviews.
Adjustments and accountability along the way — because change isn’t linear.
This is partnership, not paperwork.
Support, not scrutiny.
Change, not criticism.
The Dunton Method is for you if:
You’re tired of firefighting and want to lead with clarity.
Your team is good — but you know they could be great with the right support.
You’re ready to grow, but not at the expense of your wellbeing or your values.
You want to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface of your practice — and you’re ready to make the changes that will last.
