Dos and don'ts for team building: Avoid cookie-cutter team training
Each dental practice is unique, with many variables involved -- from the practice owner's vision to patient demographics. For this reason, the best team members should be trained to meet the specific needs of your practice and patients, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin. Obviously, the quality of the training has everything to do with your success as a business.

Team Management
Dos and don'ts for practice leadership: Are you acting like a manager rather than a leader?
Dentists often behave more like managers than business leaders, which is understandable, since very few dentists have gone to business school. But, to pave the way to true practice success, you must delegate day-to-day office management to your staff -- reserving your time for production and strategic decision-making, Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest Practice Success tip.

Dos and don'ts for patient management: Make it easy for patients to become active again
Patients who stopped coming to your practice for regular appointments may, in fact, be ready to come back if prompted. Make the effort to contact inactive patients, and give them reason to come in for an appointment. You'll be able to return a high proportion of them to your active patient base, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for financial management: Are you overdue for a collections upgrade?
Unfortunately, many dentists overestimate their collection rate. Practices often lack efficient, step-by-step systems for preventing and collecting overdues, and doctors don't actually track the numbers. As smart business leaders will tell you, what doesn't get measured doesn't get done, Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest Practice Success tip.

Dos and don'ts for quality control: Ask patients what they think about your practice
In today's more challenging dental market, customer service has become more important than ever. You need patient feedback to know if your efforts are paying off -- and where improvements can be made. You may have an impression of how patients feel about your practice, but you need a more reliable gauge, and you need to ask the patients themselves, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Do's and don'ts for efficient scheduling: Consider automating appointment confirmation
Dental offices will always deal with no-shows, last-minute cancellations, and late arrivals. But your practice can keep no-shows to 1% or less with a well-conceived and consistently applied appointment confirmation system. And today there are automated confirmation services you can use, notes Dr. Roger P. Levin in his latest Practice Success tip.

Dos and don'ts for online communications: Optimize your practice website

Levin shares his tips for optimizing your website search results.

Dos and don'ts for patient service: Become the trusted home care resource
Your established patients already rely on you as their oral healthcare expert. So it makes perfect sense for your practice to offer recommended oral care products for patients to use at home. Think of this not as a way to generate more revenue but as a professional service available only to your patients and their families, Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest Practice Success tip.

Dos and don'ts for case presentation: Turn 'maybe' into 'yes'
Many initial case presentations now end with a soft "no" or a definite "maybe" from patients. This has more to do with money than anything else. Your success depends on getting to "yes" as often as possible, so realize that a single consult may be just the beginning of the presentation process, Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest Practice Success tip.
