Can offering All-On-X Arches revive an undervalued practice?

Dr. Cory Nguyen is a highly accomplished implant dentist in Dallas. He talks about how advanced digital dentistry and strategic marketing have grown his practice to performing over 30 All-on-X cases monthly. That's insanely impressive. Growing up in Vietnam and witnessing limited access to dental care ignited his passion for dentistry. After overcoming language barriers and extensive training in the U.S., Dr. Nguyen got into implant dentistry, discovering how innovations like All-On-X Arches, digital workflows, photogrammetry, and CAD/CAM technology significantly shorten treatment timeframes, allowing complex cases to be completed within a day. He emphasizes that continuous learning and skill-building, particularly in advanced surgery and digital techniques, are key to scaling up All-On-X case volumes.

Achieving high implant case numbers, Dr. Nguyen explains, requires a robust support system, including a well-trained team and a strategic marketing approach. He shares that his success in scaling from five to 30 arches per month is largely due to effective marketing, combining TV ads, social media, and strong referral networks. For other dentists aiming to double their practice value, he advocates adding even five full-arch cases monthly to substantially boost revenue. Dr. Nguyen also highlights the critical role of internal referrals from general dentistry patients, who often progress to complex implant treatments as their needs evolve.

Beyond technique, Dr. Nguyen talks about the importance of mentorship and understanding neuromuscular health, sleep apnea, and TMJ for long-term implant success. His experience in implant dentistry helps him get to the root of dental issues like bruxism and airway obstructions, which often cause implant failures. By focusing on strategies for dental professionals, like airway and bite optimization, and scaling dental practices, he’s improving patient outcomes while boosting dental business growth. Dr. Nguyen is also planning mentorship programs to share his approach, showing how these tools can transform implant dentistry.

Gary Bird reveals the hard truth about dental marketing inefficiencies—and why dentists might be sabotaging their own growth.

We sit down with Gary Bird, CEO of SMC National, who’s worked with thousands of dentists to increase patient bases and practice revenue. Gary shares the stark reality that many practices unknowingly waste over 80% of their marketing budgets due to missed calls, low conversion rates, and scheduling issues. He explains the importance of data tracking, from qualified leads to long-term patient acquisition costs, and reveals how identifying these inefficiencies can transform marketing efforts into measurable growth.

Gary also breaks down the surprising parallels between dentists and the “shopper patients” they often disdain—dentists are just as price-conscious when seeking out marketing services. This insight leads into a discussion on "conversion coaching" and training front-office teams to convert price inquiries into appointments effectively. Gary’s approach is built on nuanced, proactive strategies that help dentists attract qualified leads without alienating them over cost concerns.

In a look toward the future, Gary delves into the potential of AI in dental marketing, particularly in call-answering technology, which he believes will be a game-changer. While some patients might initially resist AI interactions, he sees it as crucial for cost-effective operations as labor costs rise and inflation squeezes patient budgets. Gary predicts that as AI improves, practices will be able to increase efficiency and patient satisfaction simultaneously, underscoring the need for dentists to adopt advanced technology to remain competitive.
