Introduction

AM: Reaching Your Practice Potential (Scott Stewart)

Having a successful dental practice, particularly a fee for service practice, is as much about operating a smart business as it is about having great clinical skills. With so little being taught in dental school about practice management, the average dentist starts out far behind other types of business owners and has to rely on additional time and effort to learn the essentials to excel in today’s competitive market. In this meeting, our speaker will cover a 10-point action plan that embodies the business side of dentistry.

AM: Case Presentations (Dr. Kristi Crispin)

How treatment is presented to patients is a critical component of case acceptance.  When discussing money, it is always an emotional subject, but the reality is, price alone is often not the main priority in a patient’s decision-making process.

PM: Digital Imaging and Communication: Key to Success (Dr. B. Villadiego, Chad Crispin, and Dr. B. Crispin)
