What this means if you are opening here
The opening: the catchment has fewer dental practices per head than Australia as a whole, so it could carry more; the population has grown 11.2% in 6 years, and growth arrives before the practices to serve it do.
The headwinds are ordinary: nothing in the population or the field argues against dental here.
The number to plan against: Alpha Dental has 227 reviews at 5.0. At a typical one review per twelve patient visits, matching that takes roughly 2,800 visits. That is the size of the head start, in a catchment where each practice sees about 3,600 dental patients a year.
