Should I have dental implant patients sign a written fee agreement before treatment?
Yes, and not because a lawyer told you to. Put the agreed fees in writing because people live up to what they sign. The moment a patient puts their name on a document spelling out the fee, the expectations, and what each side owes the other, the case gets more real to them and to you. It also protects the patient. If you have a six month case and something happens to you, that paper says how they get taken care of. I have seen a signed fee agreement end a board complaint cold when a patient wanted a refund. So treat it as a peace of mind document, not legal armor. Write it, sign it, live up to it, and watch how much smoother the case runs.
