Dental Creations Increased Annual Production by One Million Dollars with 3D Dentists

So before 3D Dentists, we were really good at the micro. We were pretty good at presenting quadrant dentistry and not as much single tooth dentistry. We've seen a massive uptake in the amount of full mouth reconstructions that we're doing. We're actually asking the patient if it's something that they want to do. The wall's talking, which took us too long to get implemented, but it's there. And people asking a lot of these cases that we're doing, people have been with us for 10, 15 years, and they're like, "I can do that." As far as numbers go, we did increase almost a million dollars in one year. But there are procedures that they put in place with us and the recommendations that they've given us got us to that point. We are from Daytona Beach, Florida, and our practice is Dental Creations. The reason we sought consulting was looking for some clarity on bringing some organization and time management back into our lives. I think we've gotten too good at micromanaging and not good enough at losing the big picture. Dennis has been integral in allowing us to foresee things as simple as taking photographs and what that brings and how it has changed how we present and what we talk about to our patients. We have done consulting before. We've actually done four different consulting groups prior to this one, and each of them really taught us to work harder. And definitely with 3D, they're teaching us how to work smarter and more efficiently. So that's what we're gaining so much more than we ever have. Knowing that T-Bone and Sully work and manage in the real world is very significant in our decision from a management standpoint, from a running the office standpoint, because we also are back there with drills in our hands and doing the dentistry and then also having constant knocks on the door and management concerns and things whispered in our ears and notes passed too. Knowing that they live the same lifestyle and they have solutions for when this happens, I ask this, I do this, you know. Denise and I talk through everything and we think we come up with every solution and then they have a different perspective, which is always definitely invaluable. I would say specifically allowing us to take time in the office as owners and not just dentists. They really have promoted us to take care of the business side of things, not just the patient side of things. Giving us the details, the procedures and protocols in order to maximize our time with our team and also the way to have our team grow. Denise and I have been practicing for almost 20 years together. I think we've done a lot and we were definitely good at running and not feeling like there was any more time or how could we grow our numbers anymore. To increase by almost a million in a year, it's because of simple changes. If taking a few days off work to go to Mastermind to implement a few simple changes, treatment coordinator, pictures, walls talking. So it's one of those no-brainers. There's things in life and in our career where you're like, "Why did I wait so long?" For us, it was same-day dentistry. CEREC, we probably hit the brakes on that for five, six years before we jumped into it. And life without it now seems like a very alien planet I don't want to go back to. Same thing with 3D. I couldn't go back to dropping some of the things that we've implemented and the way we used to practice now that we know. I guess it's like a good parent. You want to just tell your kids, "Just don't do that. Do this and just do it."
