Dos and don'ts for production growth: Help patients say 'yes' to implants
Most patients now know about dental implants and why they may be better than alternative treatments in most cases. Yet the cost still stands as a formidable barrier for many patients. For their sake (and yours), you should try to ease the sticker shock for patients you know are good candidates from a clinical standpoint, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

It's estimated that half of American adults have periodontal disease.

Do's and don'ts for systems improvement: Moving beyond tasks to targets
A management system is a step-by-step description of how team members should handle tasks at the practice.

Levin.

Dos and don'ts for building patient relationships: Getting to know patients is golden
The better your relationships with patients, the more likely they are to stay with your practice, come in for appointments regularly, and trust your advice. To establish and strengthen practice-patient relationships, you and your staff should use a technique known as the Golden 10 -- learning at least 10 personal facts about each patient, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for team leadership: Lead by example
You probably have greater influence on how your staff members behave than you think. They watch you constantly, taking cues, reading your moods, and seeing how you interact with patients and team members. You're like a walking, talking instruction manual for your team. This gives you great power, but you can harness it only by understanding your impact, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for team building: Get serious about job descriptions
Don't think of job descriptions merely as documentation to store in an actual or virtual binder. Job descriptions can serve as powerful and versatile team management and training tools, Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest Practice Success tip.

Dos and don'ts for customer service: Improve patient satisfaction with patient feedback
Time and again, business leaders are surprised, even shocked, by what customer surveys reveal. Unless yours is a very large practice, you may not be able to justify paying for expert patient satisfaction studies, but there are other, inexpensive techniques you can use to get clear, actionable feedback from the ultimate experts -- your patients.

Dos and don'ts for the hygiene department: Emphasize oral cancer screening
Patients will find it much easier to skip a hygiene appointment at your practice if they think it's "just a cleaning." By including oral cancer screening on a comprehensive list of clinical services provided during the visit and effectively communicating their oral health value, you'll motivate more patients to maintain their hygiene habit, notes Dr. Roger P. Levin.
