know how Ruth pulled this off – but

DON’T WAIT – you might not get another

This makes dentistry fun!”

FOR DENTISTS & THEIR TEAMS

Within every dental practice, even the most successful, there is

untapped potential that can increase revenues by 20-30% whilst

reducing stress for the dentists and teams. Dentists and their teams are

equally perplexed as to how they can work any harder or smarter than

they already do. When they discover the hidden gold mine that is yet

to be tapped, which is often $700,000 to 1.3 million dollars in a solo

practice, they realise it's often the small links that generate the

biggest profits.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

Linda will uncover the MISSING LINKS that most dental practices unintentionally

overlook. These include but are not limited to:

• Effective Communication (Telephone/check In/Checkout/Chairside)

• Scheduling for Maximum Efficiency (Includes Reduction of Broken/Changed

Appointments)

• Staff Meetings and Interviews/Performance Appraisals (Why/Who/How/When)

• Patient Referrals (The Best Marketing Plan of All comes From Outlandish Service)

• Patient Recovery and Retention (Why Open the Front Door if the Back Window

is Open?)

• Associate Dentists and Hygiene Department (Two Passive Income Centres)

This is only a portion of what you will take away from this exciting practice and

team building course. Some speakers give you a 1 or 2 ideas. Linda promises you

an entire gold chain!

Direct Composite Artistry

Predictable Practical     Profitable

Direct composites in the anterior dentition can provide the most conservative and affordable restorations for our patients, while maintaining a high level of aesthetics.  Many practitioners have been frustrated and overwhelmed by the techniques, composite systems, color and instrument choices available today.   This has even led to some practitioners not offering larger class IV and direct composite veneer restorations in their practices. 

In this program, we will explore and overcome some of the challenges that we face every day in our practices.  Following an actual case, participants will participate in planning, placement & finishing a polychromatic restoration in the anterior dentition.

What will you Learn:

·         color mapping for results and simplicity

·         learn and utilize a lingual putty technique that takes the guess work out of anatomical build-ups and helps make incisal characterization more predictable

·         simplified instrumentation and techniques, from placement to finishing

·         the use of brushes for anterior composites mastery

·         polishing protocols

·         fee considerations in everyday practice
