We always want to buy the latest technology and give our patients the best care as possible but have we thought about how we show patients what we are diagnosing? 

A simple photo can go along ways with a patient. T-bone discusses how he uses taking photos of patients and how to get the most use out of those photos. We hope you enjoy! 

“If you’re not working 20 hours a day, you’re not working hard enough”—actually, no.
 
Of course, we want people to hustle, but not to the point of jumping over dollars to pick up pennies. If you pack yourself so tight and true opportunity comes, you have nowhere to put it in.
 
The badge of honor is not living off of 4 hours of sleep. As you start living a life of financial flexibility, you have the freedom to choose.

Don’t be a boss in your practice. Be a coach.
 
You can’t expect your team to think the way you think. You have to lead them into it. 
 
Start by leading yourself first—get clear about what you want. Then coach your team on the habits you want them to have. It’s as simple as thinking out loud. The more you let them know what you think, the more they learn to adapt your ways.
 
Remember, when you coach, you lift people up so they can lift others too.

If a patient cancels, block it for a new one.
 
As simple as that sounds, it’s actually very advantageous. 
 
Patients are the lifeblood of your business. While it’s good to aim for loyal customers, your priority should be new ones. You set the stage for the culture of your practice through your new patient process.
 
Shift your practice to a different arena. There’s so much to offer to and gain from new patients.
 
Watch this week’s Dentistry Made Simple episode to appreciate the value of a new patient. You don’t want to waste your time chasing recalls in vain. 

To lead is to influence others, but to influence is to lead yourself first.
 
You can better communicate your vision when you’re clear about who you are and what you’re trying to be. That’s how you help move people to a common goal.
 
Remember, you lead not to gain followers but to create more leaders. It’s an impact that will resound over the generations to come. 
 
So leadership is actually not just a one-time thing. It’s a commitment to influencing the world one person at a time. And that first person should be you.
 
Watch this week’s episode of Dentistry Made Simple to learn more about how you can be an effective leader in your dental practice! It’s not as difficult as you thought! 

We make a decision every day in our practice but the one question we should always ask is "Is This a Decimal or Comma Mentality" 

So often, we are concerned about saving in our practice but it is so much more than the dollar amount. If it is moving your practice forward and generating revenue, stop jumping over dollars to save pennies. 

It is time to invest in you and your practice. 

Picture a world where everyone smiles more generously. 
 
We say it’s free to smile, but in reality, some struggle to show their happiest and sincerest grins. Majority of patients who need dental treatments can’t afford them.

So we came up with Smile 3D–a non-profit dental office that allows us to provide world-class dentistry to working-class people. 

Everyone deserves access to quality dental care and services. It’s time to give back to our community. 

Watch the full episode of Dentistry Made Simple to know more about how you can be part of this marvelous journey!

Your patients deserve the best dental care possible, and treatment coordinators will make sure they get it. 
 
As you continue to scale, your time becomes more valuable. Your aim now is to do more dentistry with fewer well-planned visits.
 
So who will follow up with your patients after your appointment to ensure they get through the process as smoothly as possible? You need a patient care advocate who knows the treatment history so consultations and financial arrangements can efficiently be made.
 
There’s no need to do it all alone! Watch this week’s episode of Dentistry Made simple to see how having a treatment coordinator can significantly increase your productivity.

What if I told you that you could be really productive when you’re unproductive? 
 
Your downtime doesn’t need to mean doing absolutely nothing at all. You can use it not as admin time but for coaching. And you can start by simply engaging in conversations with your team.
 
Remember, your front office is the gateway to your practice. You’d want team members out there who can lead themselves so they can represent you better. When you coach successfully, you create a space for others to follow and get the results that all of you want.
