Year-end can be the most stressful period for dental practices. In 2026, one UK dental practice faced looming tax deadlines, rising expenses, and holiday scheduling pressures. They relied on manual processes—spreadsheets, paper approvals, and repeated reconciliations—only to discover that their system couldn’t keep up. Critical payroll and vendor payments were nearly missed, causing anxiety across the team.
