Building a Winning Team: 7 Key Lessons of Dental Team Collaboration

Greetings, dental practice owners! I’m excited to talk to you about an important topic today.

Key Quotes:

  • “If a dentist is able to orchestrate group flow in your practice, it has several benefits, several huge benefits.”
  • “Group flow would be the creme de la creme. It’s the peak experience when a group is performing at its top level of ability.”
  • “Nothing will inhibit collaboration and group flow opportunities more than defensiveness. And defensiveness, despite how it sounds, is not about protecting yourself. It’s a subconscious attempt to hide fears.”
  • “Having a clear and specific goal is the key ingredient if you want group flow to occur. And so the practice owner and the team have to have a shared vision and a mission.”
  • “No one is more important than the group as a whole.”

But ignoring these objections can result in adverse effects for both the patient and the practice. It is therefore essential to put in place tactics to tackle patient objections before they emerge.

In this episode, we will examine some of the most efficient methods for confronting patient objections and examine how you can become a more understanding and transparent dental practitioner.

Hey Doc, how good is your team at generating high-trust case acceptance?

  • If you want to make case acceptance easy….
  • If you want to avoid feeling pushy or manipulative…

Key Quotes:

  • “Make sure that you let them [patients] know the cost of waiting, which will always outweigh the cost of doing it now.”
  • “What goes in here mostly is empathy. If they know that you are kind, if they know that you care, if they know that the team is built around this empathetic state, if you give them some semblance of control, then that will put them at ease.”
  • “If you don’t address the time commitment, then once the treatment plan comes in and the money part comes in and they realize it’s gonna take five appointments or whatever it is, in a more complex case that may break it.”
  • “We don’t want to overstate the situation, but I think sometimes we trivialize it and then we wonder why the patient doesn’t move forward with treatment.”
  • “In a low-trust world, if you can kind of read their mind and have the conversation before they bring it up before they object, I think your patient experience, your positive word of mouth, your referrals, and your case acceptance will all keep trending upward in a difficult economic time.”
  • “We’re not chasing dollars here, we’re just doing what’s right and we’re being masterful in our communication, coming from a place of care and compassion, but also assertiveness.”
