4 HELPFUL TIPS FOR DENTISTS

Derek Seymour • Mar 31, 2020

Running a dental practice is a difficult task. Even if you provide the highest quality oral healthcare, you may get so caught up in the day-to-day running of your practice that you forget that improving dental practice is about providing an exceptional patient experience. Your ability to retain customers is based on whether you create lasting impressions.

Here are 4 helpful tips for dentists:

1. DETERMINE WHAT MAKES YOUR BUSINESS UNIQUE

To make you the best oral healthcare provider, you need to engage in dental marketing campaigns. You must start by identifying your market and your unique selling position. Whether you offer specialty dental care or an expansive range of oral health services, improving dental practice is dependent on how you approach the business, which in turn determines whether you attract and retain customers.

2. CREATE A FRIENDLY OFFICE CULTURE

After creating an inviting physical environment and decor, it is time to dive deeper. Your office culture is determined by the values you espouse, your style of leadership, your behavior and mannerisms, your method of communication to staff, and your personality. You must communicate your short-term and long-term goals for your practice to all your staff. Also, allow staff members to offer their thoughts on areas where you could be improving your dental practice.

3. ENSURE THAT YOUR BUSINESS HAS FLEXIBLE FINANCIAL OPTIONS

Patients have varying preferences in paying for dental services. Your dental practice should be flexible in accepting different payment methods as a way of guaranteeing return business and attracting referrals. In addition to insurance coverage, you should accept cash, checks, and debit and credit cards. You should also offer special financing options to ensure that individual financial circumstances do not curtail your patients’ dental health care decisions.

4. TRAIN YOUR STAFF

Your patients’ experience begins at your front desk or reception. New patients associate your practice with the people at the front desk. Improving your dental practice should, therefore, be about ensuring that your front desk team is professional, has impeccable communication skills, and has a friendly outlook.

Do not get so caught up in the day-to-day running of your dental practice that you forget other important aspects of improving the business, such as enhancing patients’ experience.
