Patients do not want to leave your office with a referral slip to a practice and surgeon they’ve never met before. They often do not follow through with the consult, are scared of higher prices, and are most comfortable having their work done in your office.
When I work with an office to bring surgery in-house, both the patients and the office benefit. Patients are twice as likely to continue with ideal treatment if there are less barriers to treatment. Practices benefit from enhanced communication and collaboration with an in-house surgeon for the cases they are going to inherit and finish.
Stop sending patients and money out the door. Work with a traveling surgeon to keep dentistry in your office and on your balance sheet. Enjoy all that dentistry has to offer with advanced dental procedures being performed in your office.
Most doctors tiptoe into wisdom teeth or implant surgery after a weekend long hands-on CE course. In most entry-level courses, the doctor does not work on live patients prior to returning to their office to introduce the techniques to their staff and patients. Failure to launch in oral surgery is an expensive pill to swallow.
Many doctors just need a little push and support to get the ball rolling in their practices and encourage team buy-in. There is nothing like live surgery with over-the-shoulder mentorship to help things ‘click,’ all the while treating your patients in your office.
I work with doctors to select a day’s worth of appropriate surgical cases from patient selection, treatment planning, to surgical execution and final restorative planning. Don’t make the expensive mistake of not following through on costly dental CE. Have your own patients help you pay for direct surgical mentoring, and start offering higher value services in your practice, immediately.
