Treatment Planning and Case Acceptance: Two Sides of the Same Coin

Wednesday, May 17, 5:30 p.m. PST

How you treatment plan drives not only your clinical outcomes, but greatly influences how you talk to patients about treatment. In this session Dr. Spear will walk through how the two go hand in hand, giving examples that will help you understand how his approach to treatment planning also impacted his case presentations, leading to better case acceptance and patient outcomes.

The New Patient Exam: Not a Profit Center, a Center of All Future Profits

Tuesday, July 18, 5:30 p.m. PST

The new patient exam is a key element of the new patient experience, and can help set you apart from other clinicians, creating engaged patients, or make for awkward experiences in the operatory. In this session Dr. Spear will walk through his experience with creating an environment that exceeds the patients’ expectations, building value for the practice. This will help clinicians to think through this key element of their new patient experience.

The Esthetic Interview

Wednesday, Sept. 20, 5:30 p.m. PST

Any practice that desires performing more esthetic dentistry needs to deeply understand the patients’ motivations for treatment. In the end, esthetics are subjective, and you can find yourself treating a patient you can’t satisfy. The key is to know what questions to ask the patient in advance. Doing this will help improve case acceptance and patient satisfaction. Dr. Spear will walk through the four key questions he learned to ask before agreeing to treat patient’s desiring changes in their appearance.

Talking With Existing Patients About Additional Dentistry

Thursday, Nov. 2, 5:30 p.m. PST

As you grow as a clinician, you begin to see more in your patients' mouths than you had before. It can be hard to know how to have a conversation about your new observations, as many clinicians fear they will look bad for not having brought these issues to the patient’s attention earlier. In this session, Dr. Spear will walk through some time-tested language that will help you be able to have this conversation effectively. Then spend time asking questions on your specific challenges in the Q & A session.
