Why Traditional Dental Sales Is Such a Turnoff

2023-05-23T12:28:11-04:00

If you never liked playing the role of salesman as defined what circulates in the profession as what constitutes dental ‘sales,’ you are not alone. Routinely what is falsely believed as how one is ‘supposed’ to sell treatment in a dental practice includes high pressures selling, sales gimmicks (if you could wave a magic wand in front of your mouth…), and often advertising big discounts or published low fees to create a sales conversation. The reality is most of us in the profession dislike what those things represent. Why Dental Sales Is A Turnoff Unfortunately, most clinicians believe that these are [...]

Medicare and Full-Arch Cases: How To Think About This Payment

2021-10-26T12:30:47-04:00

Not only is the Full Arch Program the #1 competitor to ClearChoice nationally in the US but our U.S. and U.S. territory members also have a one of a kind, predictable way to access a treatment subsidy of up to $12,500 per patient from Medicare Original Part B fee for service medical insurance.

Imagine: Getting Full Fee While Medicare Covers 25-50% of That Fee for Your Patient

2023-05-24T11:45:12-04:00

Right now, there is a 99% chance AGAINST there being another practice, within your driving distance market area, that is capable of getting Original Part B Medicare patients a 25-50% treatment subsidy (up to $12,500) for their oral surgery/implant care. The Ideal Scenario If having the ability to reduce out of pocket full mouth treatment cost for these patients by a minimum of $8,000 was predictable for your practice, IMAGINE.... Getting your full AOX case fee (Medicare payment + patient out of pocket non-covered treatment portion) for a qualified Medicare original Part B patient while your patient gets 20-25% paid of their total case fee [...]

Why Serious Clinicians Write A Book (or Two)

2023-05-24T11:53:47-04:00

To illustrate the importance of books to the public when positioning yourself as the “go to” expert, let’s talk about presidential candidates. EVERY presidential candidate writes a book (or two or three) when preparing to run or when running for office. Why? Well, the reasons are many.  Here are just a few: To express ideas of what they would do as “leader of the free world” To engender a connection with the reader (i.e. knowing, liking, trusting) To have something to discuss when interviewed To get more interviews To create credibility and expertise To solicit for new customers (yes, voters [...]

Do You Follow Steps To Perform Your Procedures?

2023-05-24T11:54:34-04:00

What's better, randomness or following steps? ....do you randomly pick and choose steps in the procedures you perform based on your mood that day?  "Oh well...today Mrs. Smith, anesthesia is the last step on my list...so sorry this will hurt you more than me...." I have little doubt that you follow specific steps to perform your clinical procedures....otherwise you wouldn't have a license and you wouldn't be reading this. Following Steps Matters While every one gets THAT detail (procedures must follow steps to be predictable), only 5% get that the majority of success for selling cases beyond single tooth implant [...]

Working On Weekends

2023-05-24T12:03:02-04:00

Doctors who are ambitious and driven take more CE than all the rest combined. They go to Kois, Spear, LVI, Misch, Pankey, etc. They sometimes attend CE on weekends or travel on a weekend day to get there. On a recent weekend, I met to have dinner with a group of doctors driven to help more patients with the All-on-X technique.  They were in Miami to attend a course at one of the best AOX surgical trainers in the country. Yes, to help more patients sometimes requires working on a weekend for them and me. The Best Docs Help the Best [...]

Why I Love Young Oral Surgeons and Periodontists

2023-05-24T12:03:39-04:00

Younger oral surgeons and periodontists get it! (Occasionally, older ones get wise and also get it!) In a second, we'll cover what "it" is all about. Professions are slow to change. On the whole, this is a good thing. The most change embracing group in dentistry has traditionally been the GP, especially in dental implants, but that's no longer the case.  There are some specialists who are now surpassing the GPs with embracing how they can go to the public as the biggest local expert and help far more patients in an ethical manner with full arch implant care. In [...]

When To NOT Use Nobel Biocare Implants for All-on-X Cases

2023-05-24T12:04:17-04:00

With dental implants, there is a time to use premium and there is a time to not use premium implants. As a business owner and clinician there is a balancing act between cutting supply costs just for the sake of cutting costs versus ensuring you deliver a clinically predictable long-term result.  Too often clinicians look at implant fixtures as completely interchangeable and then simply go to a lowest cost solution. Clinicians complain about patients doing this to them and then the clinician does the same thing when it comes to applying "cheap" to things that aren’t exactly the same! Often [...]
