Welcome to the Polished Practice Readiness Survey

Starting your own dental practice is an exciting step—but it also takes clarity, preparation, and the right support. This short survey is designed to help you (and us) understand where you are in your journey toward practice ownership.

The questions cover four key pillars of readiness: Mindset, Financial Preparation, Business Planning, and Support Systems. Each answer is scored, giving you a snapshot of how prepared you are to launch and showing us how the Polished Practice Accelerator can best support you.

There are no “right” or “wrong” answers, just an honest look at where you stand today. Be as open as possible so you can get the most accurate results and next steps.

At the end, your score will place you into one of three readiness levels. You’ll also receive personalized guidance on what to focus on next - whether that’s building your foundation, creating a clear launch plan, or stepping fully into the role of CEO of your practice.

Take a deep breath, answer thoughtfully, and let’s see where you are on the path to building your polished practice.
