Join me in my conversation with Dr. Parag Kachalia who is the Head of Clinical Practice for Overjet - an AI company based out of Boston, MA. Why does dentistry need AI now? Why would an experienced clinician need the help of AI in his/her office? How will your team adapt to AI in a way that is better for the patient and the practice? Does AI improve patient treatment acceptance? Learn how AI provides an objective communication tool that everyone can understand. AI can improve the insurance claim process with objective findings. CBCT analysis has just been approved by the FDA and now AI will be able to expand what’s possible with 3D imaging. AI generated treatment notes are coming based on recording your conversation with your patient and team. No more templates and going home late at night typing out all your notes for the day. Look into the not so distant future of dentistry and you will see more customer service for your patients while other things (that most team really don’t want to do) are taken care of by AI.

Join me in my conversation with Patrick McDonald from RAMP - a dental marketing company. AI is changing the way patients search for and choose their dentist, and most dental practices don't even realize it's happening. There's a lot of hype, confusion, and even panic about AI, but there is an opportunity to get started so you're not left behind. Learn about how your Google Business Profile is now more important than ever, and what the right things need to be included in your profile. Google reviews are still important. Even more important is what you absolutely need to do with them. What needs to happen for potential patients to find you when they type in that they want the "best" dentist? Differentiation is more important than ever to help the right patients find you. Did you know ChatGPT can help you with your visibility, and it can help you evaluate your current website?

Even better, we talk about the "F Word" (no, not that one) and its impact on how we view the treatment we provide our patients,

Join in on my conversation with Mark Scott and Tim Galica of Scott CPA's. Accountants aren't generally known to be too exciting, but Mark and Tim share some basic and advanced strategies to save on taxes in a big way - and that's always exciting. For instance, are you doing well and as a reward are you finding that you get to pay back basically 50% of your profits in state and federal taxes? You can definitely reduce that 50% to 35% and maybe even more with strategies that are right for you. Learn about Liquidity Ratio, Free Cash Flow and EBITDA in a way that makes sense and is actually interesting and profitable. You don't know what you don't know, but you can learn and understand how to keep money you would have given to the government to create more cash flow. You can contact Hayley at Scott CPA's by calling 916-722-2524 or through the website at ScottCPAs.cpa to set up a conversation about your personal and business situation and goals.

Join me in my conversation with Joanne Villani, RDH who is the Co-Founder of PreVu Software We explore what holds doctors and their teams back from providing cosmetic (and many other types) of care for their patients. "Sales" has a negative connotation in dentistry and there are better ways to think about how we approach patients with all the incredible things we can do for them without "offensive and pushy sales scripts". Doctors tend to want to do everything themselves, and smile simulation can be done quickly and entirely by their team. Can hygienists be taught to look beyond plaque, stain and calculus? The team needs to be educated on how and when to do smile simulations, and once they are there can be very positive results for your patients and your practice without a big time commitment to make it happen. For more information, you can go to PreVuDental.com
