Seminars topics…

Little Things Make the Difference: How To Transform Your Practice from Ordinary to Extraordinary

Course Description:

As professionals, we know that insurance companies do not have our patients’ best interest at heart. Often, patients rely on their insurance plan to determine their dental needs. Insurance companies have become an unsolicited influence when it comes to patients making treatment decisions. This course will assist both the insurance-driven and fee-for-service dental practices by introducing unique ways care can be delivered to patients, adding value to the services you and your staff provide.

Every Hygienist’s Dream: The Perfect Appointment

Course Description:

Today’s standard of care is propelled by an ever changing current of information. New responsibilities have challenged the quality of care we provide. What was once accomplished within the timeframe of 30-45 minutes is no longer possible. Due to these restrictions and lack of support, many hygienists are forced to cut corners and work under stressful circumstances. This course is designed to assist dentists, dental hygienists, and all support, staff to easily transition a routine hygiene appointment into a high quality, lucrative appointment.

Beyond Traditional Hygiene: Exceed today’s standard of care while increasing office revenue

Course Description:

Statistics indicate that only 25 percent of the population is diagnosed with periodontal disease—leaving the remainder undiagnosed. As dental professionals, we need to bridge the gap by expanding our knowledge and assessment skills, enabling us to better diagnose and treat this severely underserved portion of the population. This comprehensive and informative seminar will enable your practice to be elevated to periodontal therapy levels. The introduction of “edentureless prophy” will broaden your knowledge in accessing and treating denture-wearing patients. Special attention to the use of locally applied antibiotics, host modulation and other periodontal therapeutics will enable any dental office to easily put these services into practice Monday morning.

Incorporating Periodontal Therapies into your Practice: Five easy steps to enhance patient compliance

Course Description:

The dental community has been bombarded with many new therapies and products since the systemic link has been established. Many times the dental team has difficulty explaining new periodontal options to patients. This affects patient case acceptance, as well as overall office production. This enlightening and fun seminar will demonstrate just how easy it is to get your patients to accept periodontal treatment plans.
