Dental Embezzlement Services: Everything Your Practice Needs, Under One Roof
Prosperident exists for one reason: to protect dentists from employee theft and internal financial fraud. Since 1989, we have served as North America's most trusted dental embezzlement specialists — investigating theft, preventing it before it happens, supporting litigation, and helping practice owners take genuine control of their financial futures.
Whatever your situation — a nagging suspicion, a confirmed theft, a desire to close vulnerabilities, or a complex multi-location challenge — there is a Prosperident service designed precisely for it.
Our Services
FIRST LOOK — Fast Diagnostic for When Something Feels Off
For practice owners who suspect a problem but aren't yet certain
You have noticed something. Collections feel soft. A number doesn't reconcile. Your instincts are signalling concern, but you don't have proof, and you're not sure whether a full investigation is warranted.
FIRST LOOK is Prosperident's rapid, affordable diagnostic screening. A senior Prosperident examiner reviews key data from your practice management software, looking specifically for the anomalies and red flags that indicate internal theft. You receive a clear, expert-informed answer: is there enough evidence of concern here to justify proceeding to a full investigation?
Flat fee of $1,500 per practice. Results within approximately one week. Fully covert — no one in your practice will know we are involved. And if FIRST LOOK identifies concerns that warrant a full investigation, 50% of the fee is credited toward that engagement.
It is the smartest possible first step when you are not yet certain what you are dealing with.
Forensic Investigation — When You Need Answers About Employee Theft
For practice owners who believe embezzlement is occurring or has occurred
When the evidence of internal theft moves beyond a feeling and into a genuine concern, a professional dental embezzlement investigation is essential. A self-guided investigation carries real risks: tipping off the suspect, mishandling evidence, wrongful accusation, or failing to document the case properly for insurance claims, police reports, or legal proceedings.
Prosperident's forensic investigations are conducted by certified fraud examiners who have spent years — in many cases entire careers — inside dental practices before joining our team. We know how dental staff members manipulate practice management software. We know how cash is skimmed, how insurance payments are redirected, and how the structural gaps in most dental offices are systematically exploited. We have seen these methods hundreds of times, and we know precisely where to look.
Our investigations are completely covert. We work remotely using data you provide us. Your staff — including the individual you suspect — will have no indication an investigation is underway. Every report identifying embezzlement is personally reviewed by our CEO before it reaches you.
We work with general dental practices, orthodontic and oral surgery practices, and practices of all sizes across the United States and Canada.

Owner Proactive Strategies (OPS) — Embezzlement Prevention Built Around Your Practice
For practice owners who want to reduce their risk before a problem develops
More than 60% of dentists will experience employee theft at some point in their careers. Most will not see it coming. The good news is that embezzlement is not inevitable — and the degree of your vulnerability is directly related to the strength of your financial oversight systems.
Owner Proactive Strategies (OPS) is Prosperident's signature prevention service, and it is unlike anything else available to dental practice owners. It is not generic practice management advice. It is a structured, one-on-one engagement with a Prosperident Proactive Advisor who dives deep into your specific practice — your software, your workflows, your team structure, your reporting habits — and builds a custom framework for financial oversight that actually works.
OPS covers five core areas: transaction integrity review, financial analysis, vulnerability reduction, practice owner oversight education, and a practical toolkit of reports, checklists, and monitoring routines. Clients consistently report that there is simply nowhere else to learn what OPS teaches.
OPS is particularly well-suited to dentists purchasing an established practice, dentists who want to reduce risk without sacrificing clinical time, and any practice owner who has previously been victimized and is determined to prevent a recurrence.

DSO and Multi-Location Practice Services — Enterprise-Level Protection
For dental support organizations and multi-office groups
It is tempting to assume that larger, more professionally managed dental organizations are less susceptible to embezzlement than solo practices. The evidence does not support that assumption. DSOs and multi-location groups face a distinct set of structural vulnerabilities — the disconnect between practice management and accounting software, the challenge of overseeing individual practices without dental-specific financial expertise, the risks embedded in EBITDA-based affiliation transactions, and the tendency for control systems to lag behind rapid expansion.
Prosperident works with organizations across the full spectrum of DSO scale, from emerging groups to some of the largest in North America. Our DSO and multi-location services include targeted investigations of specific practices where theft is suspected, stealthy rotating audit programs that review a percentage of locations annually, development of metrics and protocols to identify at-risk practices, due diligence support for acquisition transactions, and enterprise-level internal control reviews.

SOFIA — Financial Consulting for Practice Performance
For practice owners seeking data-driven guidance on the financial health of their practice
The same depth of dental financial expertise that underpins Prosperident's investigative work is also available to practice owners navigating broader financial challenges. Through our affiliate SOFIA LLC (Strategic Operational Financial and Integrative Accounting), we bring rigorous, data-driven analysis to the questions that keep practice owners up at night.
Are you in the right PPO arrangements, or are certain contracts costing you more than they are generating? Where are the gaps in your revenue cycle? Is your overhead structure sustainable? Should you be considering an out-of-network transition? Are you thinking about bringing on an associate or purchasing practice real estate, and do the numbers actually support that decision?
SOFIA's experts have decades of experience with dental practice finances and work directly with practice owners to surface the answers and map out a clear path forward.
Litigation Support — Expert Assistance for Dentists and Their Attorneys
For dentists involved in legal proceedings and attorneys representing dental clients
When dental matters enter the legal arena, the financial complexity of dental practice operations demands a specialist. Prosperident provides expert litigation support to both dentists and the attorneys who represent them across a wide range of scenarios: employee termination and embezzlement documentation, disputes between practice partners, buyer's remorse following a practice acquisition, concerns about misappropriation by independent contractors, and divorce proceedings where practice income is in dispute.
Our litigation support services include determination of contested financial facts, application of dental-specific context to legal and contractual questions, production of expert reports, expert witness testimony, rebuttal of opposing expert reports, assistance with discovery requests and deposition questions, and forensic analysis of practice management software data.
