Dos and don'ts for practice valuation
Major decisions you make at any stage of your dental career will probably influence your success at the final stage -- when it's time to sell your practice and retire. You wouldn't want to subordinate short-term goals to this long-range view, but get in the habit of mentally projecting how various factors will play out over time, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for increasing production: Comprehensive exams
Most patients represent more potential production than most dentists realize. Intraoral conditions change over time, as do patients' desires. You owe it to them to develop a comprehensive picture of what's going on in their mouths, and what you -- and they -- can do about it, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for mastering the art of innovation
Like all business leaders, dentists running their own practices need to respond to new challenges and opportunities with innovative ideas. Facing growing competition, you need to differentiate your practice. Whether it's new technology or improved customer service, you need to come up with innovative ways to stand out from the crowd, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for team building and assigning targets
Many dentists complain about their teams, but often the problem stems from a lack of motivation or engagement. If staff members simply go through the motions every day, with no clearly expressed performance expectations, their role will probably seem like "just a job" to them. An excellent way to solve this problem is to create and assign performance targets, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Dos and don'ts for coaching your staff members
Practice success requires active leadership from the dentist. Your team, no matter how highly trained or motivated, will still need encouragement and guidance from you. Look for opportunities to praise and support your team throughout the day, Dr. Roger P. Levin notes in his latest Practice Success tip.

Dos and don'ts for productivity: Use hygiene as a foundation for growth
Dentists who provide hygiene care for patients personally, or who hesitate to add hygiene department staff, are limiting their production potential significantly. Hygienists and hygiene assistants should account directly for 25% of practice income, and delegating to them also allows you to reach higher doctor production targets, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.

Patient Communication
Dos and don'ts for referral management
When you refer your patient to a specialist, the communication plan is as important as the clinical plan. A haphazard approach to interoffice communication can too easily lead to miscommunication, with neither office understanding its responsibilities. To prevent this, take the lead in spelling out the who, when, and how of interoffice communication, according to Dr. Roger P. Levin.
