Built by people who've…
lived the dental business
KLAS Dental Coaching was founded on a simple belief: dental practice owners deserve exceptional business guidance built for the real-world demands of running a practice. Our coaches bring deep dental-industry experience and a proven track record of helping owners improve leadership, operations, team performance, profitability, and sustainable growth-without generic one-size-fits-all programs.

Dental-focused, no generic healthcare, no mixed results
We exist to help dentists thrive, not just survive.
Dental school trains excellent clinicians. It doesn't train business owners. The result? Talented dentists working harder and harder, watching their overhead climb, their team turnover, and their profits shrink, despite doing great clinical work.
KLAS Dental Coaching bridges that gap. We bring the systems, the accountability, and the real-world experience to help you build a practice that works for you: profitable, well-run, and a place your team loves to come to every day.
We start with your numbers, not a playbook.
"Every dental practice is different. Your market, your mix of procedures, your team's strengths and gaps, all unique. That's why every KLAS engagement begins with a deep-dive Practice Health Assessment before we recommend anything.
We diagnose first. We prescribe second. That's how we guarantee our coaching is relevant to you, not recycled from a seminar binder.

Phil Cole built KLAS Solutions on the conviction that dental and healthcare practice owners deserve integrated, expert-level business support, all under one roof, from people who know the industry cold. As the architect of the KLAS ecosystem, Phil brings decades of business operations, finance, and practice growth experience to every client relationship.
Phil's work spans accounting and tax strategy, practice transitions and acquisitions, commercial real estate, marketing, and coaching, giving him an unusually complete view of what separates high-performing dental practices from those leaving money on the table.
He founded KLAS Dental Coaching to give practice owners the kind of strategic partner he wished existed when he first started working with dentists: one who could see the whole picture, connect all the dots, and hold owners accountable to their own goals.
Ryan Hill is KLAS's primary dental coaching practitioner and the coach your team will know by name. Ryan brings deep expertise in dental leadership development, team performance, case acceptance, and the behavioral systems that drive sustainable production growth.
Certified in the Dentist Entrepreneurial Program (DEP), Work of Leaders, Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team, and EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), Ryan combines proven frameworks with practical, practice-specific application. He's coached practices across every major specialty from solo general dentists to multi-site DSO groups.
Ryan's coaching style is direct, data-driven, and accountability-focused. He doesn't deal in theory. He works in the real numbers of your practice and holds your team to results, not intentions.
Working with KLAS felt completely different from other consultants we'd tried. They knew dental. They knew our numbers better than we did after one assessment. And they actually held us accountable, which was uncomfortable at first and invaluable in the end.
What makes KLAS different
Dental-only focus
We don't dabble in dentistry between other industries. Every framework, benchmark, and recommendation we make is calibrated specifically for dental practices, from production per visit to new patient acquisition costs.
Diagnose before prescribe
We never walk in with a predetermined program. Our Practice Health Assessment evaluates 150+ KPIs across your clinical, financial, and operational metrics before we recommend a single change. You get a custom roadmap, not a generic playbook.
Team-first methodology
We coach the entire practice, not just the owner. Leadership development, team training, communication systems, and culture are as integral to your growth as any clinical efficiency metric. High-performance teams retain patients and drive referrals.
Accountability that sticks
Coaching without accountability is just advice. Every KLAS engagement includes structured check-ins, KPI tracking, and a coach who will call it out when commitments aren't being met. That's where the transformation actually happens.
Full ecosystem support
As part of the KLAS Solutions family, your coaching integrates seamlessly with accounting, marketing, transitions, and real estate guidance. When a coaching insight has financial implications, your accountant already knows the full story.
ROI you can measure
We track the same KPIs we benchmarked in your assessment throughout your coaching program so you can see, in real numbers, exactly what has improved. Our Custom Coaching clients average more than 7× return on their coaching investment in year one.
One trusted team. Every business need covered.
