Should I worry that standing out will upset other dentists?
You should expect it and stop caring about it. If you stand out in implant dentistry, two things happen. You help more patients, and some colleagues will not like you. Both are signs you are doing it right. The dentists who criticize the doctor willing to advertise boldly or charge for real value are rarely the ones building anything. Here is my filter, and it has held up for thirty years. Unless those colleagues start paying your bills, their opinion means nothing. Your obligation is to the patient who needs the work and to your own practice, not to the comfort of people competing with you. So make the choice that helps more patients, accept that it will rub some people the wrong way, and let the outcomes you produce be the answer to anyone who has a problem with it.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
