The One Thing You Can Control as a Dentist – It’s Not What You Think

2019-10-23T14:12:22-04:00

The One Thing You Can Control as a Dentist - It's Not What You Think Dentistry in many ways is still in the dark ages. Fundamentally we refuse to learn from history especially when it comes to human behavior related to decision making and how it directly impacts dental case acceptance and fees. For more than 100 years, we've continued to try to “educate” our patients especially when it comes to gaining dental case acceptance on treatment plans. How well has that worked? Not very well by most accounts. Unless the procedure is FREE or [...]

July 3rd, International Day of the Independent Dentist

2019-10-23T14:13:41-04:00

July 3rd, International Day of the Independent Dentist For US readers, the 4th of July is nearly upon us. It’s one of MY personal favorite holidays. Each year, I declare July 3rd a day of responsibility for personal dental independence and in that spirit July 3rd is officially hereby known as the International Day of the Independent Dentist. This is hands-down my most lengthy message of each year. Probably the most important of the year as well from a “philosophical” standpoint with how one thinks and operates from a foundational understanding of what we’re born [...]

The 10 Best Dental Practice Management Monitors

2019-10-23T14:15:00-04:00

The 10 Best Dental Practice Management Monitors In a moment, we’ll get to an exercise related to what you currently spend on dental marketing and how to improve your direct return (meaning production coming to you) from whatever you spend on external advertising right now. Monthly monitors are a fundamental part of good dental practice management systems. They are basic tools that yield outsized results but are greatly underutilized. Peter Drucker remarked that ‘what gets measured improves.’ Name an industry and a study somewhere has already shown that measurement improves results including the use of [...]

Dental Practice Management and Pareto’s Law

2019-10-23T14:20:52-04:00

Dental Practice Management and Pareto's Law Pareto's Law - 20% of effort yields 80% of results. One of the biggest challenges in dental practice management is related to what we allocate time to and what the "to do" priorities are. You’ve probably been exposed to this 80/20 rule before or at least heard someone say it in casual conversation.  It's highly doubtful that any consultant you've ever encountered was concerned about 80/20 as it relates to dental practice. Gordon Christensen opened my eyes to this concept in 1991 during a meeting of the International Association [...]

Dental Practice Advice-You Screwed Up So Now What Happens? Do you have a strategy ?

Dental Practice Advice-You Screwed Up So Now What Happens? Do you have a strategy ? Dental schools do not teach you strategies or give advice on how to deal with unpleasant surprises in your practice. You screw up, people are angry, now what? You should have a strategy for dealing with situations like this. Our members are give solid and proven advice which helps them in such situations.
