YoY Production Growth Distribution

SGA practice growth bucketed against PDDS 3,294-practice benchmark (Planet DDS 2026 Outlook, p18)

Aggregate YoY: SGA vs PDDS

Three methodology variants per PDDS report. Simple = average of practice rates, Trimmed = drops top/bottom 10%, Weighted = network-wide total.

Quarterly YoY 2025 vs 2024

Where SGA gained/lost momentum. PDDS Q4 was 7.7% — SGA Q4 dropped to 2.6%.

Growth by Legacy Company

Gen4 and Modis already beating PDDS simple-avg benchmark (6.6%). SGA East drags the network.

New Patients per Practice per Month — SGA Distribution

PDDS benchmark: 46 NPs/month (2025 industry average across 5,200 practices). SGA average is 58.9.

Top 15 NP Engines

Practices driving the network NP advantage

NP Volume Cohort Position

% of SGA practices in each NP-volume bucket vs PDDS distribution (PDDS p17). PDDS bins are visits/month not NP/month — distribution shape comparison only.

Coefficient of Variation across Practices

Lower = more uniform performance across the network (Planet DDS calls this "operational discipline / signal of maturity"). CV = stdev / mean.

Within-Practice Production Volatility

Monthly production CV per practice (CY25). Lower = more predictable month-to-month performance.

Most Consistent Practices

Lowest monthly production CV — operational benchmarks

Least Consistent Practices

Highest volatility — intervention candidates

Multi-Year CAGR Distribution

3-year (CY22→CY25) and 5-year (CY21→CY25) production CAGR per practice. PDDS does not publish a multi-year CAGR — this is the longer-arc view Myles asked for.

Top 10 Growth Velocity (CY25 YoY)

Practices outperforming the >10% PDDS bucket

Growth Velocity vs Scale (CY25 production × YoY%)

Bubble = TTM production. Look for high-scale practices in the negative quadrant — biggest leverage targets.

Hygiene Reappointment Rate — SGA vs PDDS

SGA reappt rate sourced from Dental Intel (broad denominator). PDDS calculates 12-month reappt rate (63%, 2024 industry 60%).
Methodology caveat (Brittney / Incline 5-6-26): Dental Intel's hygiene reappt calc uses a broad denominator that includes all completed hygiene visits, producing 80–95% across SGA. SGA's internal calculation (PMS-only, stricter denominator) shows ~62%, which would land closer to PDDS. Reading both numbers in this dashboard at face value overstates the gap. Treat directional comparison only until the denominator reconciliation lands.
