Dos and don'ts for leadership: Leading the practice to growth
Leadership can be incredibly challenging for dentists due to the amount of time spent on patient care, yet it is only the doctor who can lead the practice to the highest levels of achievement. Without effective leadership, practices will continue to struggle.

Dos and don'ts for increasing production: Master the science of internal marketing
In today's economy, acquiring new patients isn't the easiest task. In fact, it can seem impossible if you're not leveraging internal marketing. Only a well-designed series of in-office marketing strategies targeting your current patients can attract more patients.

Dos and don'ts for team training: Schedule a training day
One of the best ways to upgrade team skills is to hold a training day two to four times a year. Properly planned, with a detailed agenda and "fun" breaks for shared meals and group interaction, a training day will not only improve overall team performance but also heighten everyone's sense of belonging and purpose.

Dos and don'ts for practice management: Changing practice systems for a changing practice
As soon as a dental practice implements new management systems the countdown to system replacement begins. In fact, the more effective the systems are, the sooner they will need to be replaced. As a practice grows and conditions change, tweaking and adjustments can only go so far. Practice owners must learn to recognize when systems that once drove growth have begun to slow it down … and replace them.

Dos and don'ts for building relationships
Where do your patients learn about home care, exciting new treatment options, and other dental subjects? If they're not relying on your practice for all this information and more, consider creating a monthly or quarterly electronic newsletter. This is an excellent way to provide valuable information to patients, promote your complete range of services, and build a stronger practice/patient relationship.

Patient Communication
Dos and don'ts for patient communication
Acquiring new clinical technology is one thing. How you communicate about it with patients is something else altogether. Most patients will be impressed when you upgrade the practice's technological capabilities. It demonstrates your commitment to their well-being. It shows your desire to constantly improve your services. And it identifies you as a leading-edge source of dental care.

Dos and don'ts for promoting oral health
In your role as expert advisor to patients on the subject of oral health, you can help them tremendously by providing excellent dental products. This works better than merely recommending products because many patients will not follow through on your advice and they will think of your practice's helpfulness every time they use the products.

Dos and don'ts for practice efficiency: Make all treatment rooms the same
When designing treatment rooms, the goal is efficiency. This means carefully planning every detail -- and making all such rooms as uniform as possible. The concept is that everyone -- doctor, hygienist, and assistant -- will perform better because they know exactly where everything is.
