Productivity Workshop Overview

Comprehensive Patient Care

As dental professionals, nothing is more frustrating than seeing the condition of your patient and struggling to communicate a treatment plan the patient will accept. You deserve to practice the clinical skills you’ve invested time and effort on to help patients who need your expertise.

This program helps you master the comprehensive exam and treatment planning process. Dr. Bruce B. Baird’s proven methods improve case acceptance, so patients choose the care they need.

You’ll learn:

  • Effective patient and team communication
  • How to elevate the standard of clinical care
  • Build rapport that drives trust and loyalty
  • Advance clinical hygiene communication

Scheduling & Systems

It’s common to think being more productive means working longer hours or charging more. The reality is productivity goes up when you work smarter, not harder. Maximize efficiency in your current systems and delegate through team so you can:

  • Take control of your finances
  • Develop a self-directed team
  • Grow your practice strategically
