They oversee all administrative operations, including scheduling patient appointments, managing patient records, billing and insurance processing, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Furthermore, they may be responsible for staff recruitment, training, and supervision, along with the maintenance of the dental office's financial records, budgets, and payroll.
