Dos and don'ts for production per patient
In contrast to need-based dentistry, patient education is critical to gain cosmetic case acceptance. With need-based dentistry, patients often accept treatment to alleviate pain. Motivating patients to agree to cosmetic procedures is a much more subtle and comprehensive process.

Dos and don'ts for practice finance: Laying down the law with no-shows
