In this episode, we explore the question "How do you measure dental practice success?" For one, there's more to it than just looking at production numbers or collections. You may have sky high new patient numbers, or massive amounts of production, and still not be financially successful! When it comes down to it, retention and collections are the real key to a sustainable future. We go over having a steady flow of new patients, a system for contacting patients for overdue payments, a dedicated financial coordinator, and overhead that stays under 60%. Additionally, retaining existing patients is just as crucial as bringing in new ones, so make sure to keep up-to-date contact information! Dive into this week's episode to learn more about measuring success in the dental industry!

In this week's episode, we are breaking down effective patient communication and addressing objections properly. It all starts with truly listening to patient concerns, whether it's based in fear, financial worries, or another common issue. Highlighting that the procedure is routine and performed every day can help provide much needed comfort and reassurance for patients and urge them to take action. Third-party payment options and financing are a must-have to make dental care more accessible to patients, and if your case acceptance isn't above 85%, you may be losing thousands in revenue! Tune in to learn practical tips for improving patient communication and increasing treatment acceptance to benefit both patients and the practice's bottom line.

Did you know that up to 93% of communication is done non-verbally?

Well, it's true, and it might be the key to handling tough patients in your practice…

Successful Patient Interactions will make or break your practice when trying to stand out from the crowd. To have these interactions, we need an upbeat, positive, and attentive team. If your team is really listening to the questions and concerns of patients, they will feel right at home.

It's easy to write off an angry patient as rude, bad, or not worth your time, but you may find listening to what they have to say surprisingly beneficial! There is no excuse for treating your team poorly, but these "angry" patients have a legitimate reason to be angry more often than not.

Dive into this week's conversation on successful patient interactions and how to create them!
