Working as a dental team is rewarding and challenging. It's also one of the most important aspects of running a practice. A team that works together can achieve anything, but it takes time and effort to build a strong and cohesive unit. Here are some tips on how to inspire your team

No-shows are no fun. But it's something all dental offices deal with, patients who don’t show up are as old as dentistry, and it’s a frustration all dental offices share.

And it’s more than a simple frustration. Missed appointments lead to stress and cost a practice money—up to thousands of dollars in lost revenues every year.

Luckily there are a few steps you can take to make it better.

Do you envy those practices that seem to have a dynamic team that actually enjoys spending time with each other? Do you feel like you struggle to find, recruit, and keep team members?

This is something that as dentists, we can struggle a lot with. In dental school, we studied our butts off learning some of the most intensive and technical subjects out there. But one thing we weren’t exposed to as much is hiring, training, and leading a team.

It’s a real shame because this is something we spend a good portion of our time and mental energy on. Instead of treating patients (and making more money) we have to do all of the behind the scenes work of finding the right team member. Then there’s the non-stop work of training and coaching them for the first 90 days. Only at this point do we know whether they are the right fit.

In this episode, I’m going to share my top five secrets for building a dream dental team. These are the things that work for me and I am hoping these secrets will save you some major headaches and regrets!

The most common thing dentists hear from their patients is that they are terrified of coming to the dentist!  This is THE LAST thing dentists want to hear and are constantly striving to help their patients overcome.

When I created my former dental practice, one of my primary goals was to procure not only the BEST equipment, but also “creature comforts” for my guests.  Listen to this episode for some ideas of physical products that I incorporated into my practice that not only comforted my guests, kept them coming back for more, but also inspired them to recommend my dental practice to others!

I will drop the link to some of my fave products in the description!

I have said it time and time again and I am living proof that social media and other personality-driven forms of advertising work well for the dental industry.
This makes sense, because long-term success for dental practices relies on loyal, returning patients—and people won’t return if they don’t like you.

But how do you turn your dental practice’s personality into satisfied, repeat patients?
