Dental practices offer many challenges both from
a clinical perspective, as well as from a managerial
viewpoint. With patients requiring an increased level of care
in esthetics, implant dentistry, orthodontic treatment and
occlusal therapy, comprehensive staff training becomes a
priority of effective practice management. Effective staff
training assures that patient education begins at the initial
contact and continues as an ongoing process. As staff members
understand clinical concepts, their ability to communicate
effectively with patients increases exponentially. This leads to
increased case acceptance as well as greater levels of job
satisfaction for both the doctor and the staff. Combining
clinical expertise with the ability to explain the realities of
dental insurance reimbursement helps create an increased level
of predictability in the contemporary dental practice.
Course Objectives:
This program will
discuss:
-
A logical and
easily understood approach to the 6 types of clinical
problems in dentistry
-
Designing a new
patient exam that allows for a thorough clinical examination
and the opportunity to understand the non-clinical aspects
that will influence the treatment plan.
-
Understanding why
some smiles look attractive and other smiles do not.
-
Recognizing when
the TM joint may be compromised and how to evaluate if the
TM joint has been structurally altered.
-
Gathering
diagnostic information that is appropriate for each patient
-
Clear guidelines
for treatment planning that will result in increased case
acceptance
-
How to discuss
insurance with patients in a simple and clear manner
-
Developing a
framework for staff education that promotes clinical
expertise, increased productivity and decreased workload for
the dentist.
