Treating People, Not Patients – Having Patients Say Yes to Treatment: Exam, Diagnosis, Treatment Planning and Delivery of Comprehensive Dental Care
Boston, MA •Saturday, December 2, 2017 • 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
A healthy periodontium is the foundation of a healthy mouth, and thus the foundation of all dentistry. A comprehensive examination is an essential first step in the performance of ideal dental care, but getting a patient to “say yes” to treatment involves more than just reporting one's findings. A doctor must first foster a doctor-patient relationship in which the patient trusts in the decision that he or she makes regarding their own health. In this course, Dr. Sonick will review the important patient communication techniques that have enabled him to build a successful practice where over 90% of his patients say yes to comprehensive dental treatment – and keep his practice fully booked 2-3 months in advance!
Dr. Sonick will also present and review a variety of essential supportive surgery including, but not limited to: CT grafting, esthetic crown lengthening, periodontal surgical regeneration, extractions and bone grafting, ridge augmentations, and the esthetic placement of dental implants. Dr. Sonick will also elucidate on thought processes for predictable decision-making.
