Practice Strategy Designed for the Future of Your Business
Practice Optimized helps dental practice owners increase the strategic value of their business through operational excellence, systems alignment, and performance-driven advisory.
Maximize Practice Value. Move Forward with Strategy.
You’ve built a thriving dental practice, but will it command the value it deserves when it’s time to step away?
Practice Optimized is your strategic partner in building a more valuable, efficient, and independent practice. Whether you’re a few years from stepping back or just want options for the future, we help you take intentional steps to increase practice value before it’s time to transition.
We focus on the work leading up to the handoff: strengthening your systems, streamlining operations, improving KPIs, and reducing owner dependency, all so that when you’re ready, your practice is, too.
We specialize in value-building strategy for dental practice owners who want to:
Run a more efficient, less owner-dependent practice
Increase profitability and growth potential
Prepare for future transition opportunities with confidence
Get expert-level support without “consultant fatigue”
Who We Work With
Established practice owners who want to maximize value and create options for their future
Dentists who are 1-5 years from transition and want to be proactive, not reactive
Owners who want to streamline systems, boost performance, and reduce dependency
Professionals looking for a strategic partner supported by a trusted network of industry experts - from marketing to finance and real estate
Visionary dentists who want to treat their practice like an asset, not just a job

Meet Lori Kester
Why Practice Optimized? Because you need someone who speaks “dentist” and “due diligence.”
I’m Lori Kester, owner of DDSmatch Oklahoma and Arkansas, founder of Practice Optimized, and your go-to guide for operational excellence. I’ve helped dozens of practices improve performance and prepare for a successful transition.
As a dental practice transitions professional and operational strategist, I’ve seen firsthand what makes practices sell - and what makes deals stall. I created Practice Optimized for one reason: to help dental practice owners increase the value of their business before they list it.
With decades of experience in practice management and operations, I bring a clear, grounded perspective to every engagement. I’ll be your lead advisor and your practice’s biggest advocate while connecting you with industry experts like valuation analysts, marketing experts, attorneys, and real estate pros.
You’ve built the practice. Now let’s optimize it for what’s next.
