In this episode, Gary Bird breaks down why most dental practice schedules are broken and how smarter scheduling systems can dramatically increase dental growth. No matter how strong your dental marketing is, it won’t work if new patients can’t get an appointment quickly, and Gary explains why block scheduling, wave scheduling, and hybrid scheduling are essential for reducing no-shows and maximizing treatment opportunities. Learn how to prioritize new patients, improve patient flow, and create availability that converts calls into booked appointments. If you’ve ever wondered why your dental marketing ROI is low despite spending more, this episode reveals the scheduling mistakes holding your practice back. Watch now to discover how fixing your dental schedule can help you get more new patients, increase production, and grow your dental practice consistently.
