Why the Traditional Method of Running an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Practice is no Longer Effective and Competitive When it Comes to Dental Implant Services

allow this bad “PR” to happen when you could be in complete control of it by using Operational Excellence to perform better service.

Results of Operational Excellence:

Implementing the principles of Operational Excellence will empower an oral surgeon to compete successfully within the ever-changing implant dentistry business environment.

• Surgeons create a unique and memorable experience that makes it difficult for a corporate or general dentist to duplicate
• Surgeons easily can distinguish themselves from corporate and general dentists
• Higher case acceptance for high-end and expensive treatment plans
• Patient can experience the difference which will result in higher value recognition for your practice
• Patients become fully active references (ambassadors, enthusiasts). The best source of referral is a satisfied patient
• Less stress for patient as well as entire team
• Smoother work environment
• Surgeons will become a dominant real player in implant dentistry market
• More profit

Conclusion:

Just from this small taste of Operational Excellence discussed, it is clear to see that the techniques can have significant benefits for every part of your practice. Do not continue to do things the way you have always done them. Just because a practice has been running the same way for the past 20 years does not necessarily mean it is the best way or even relevant in today’s dental implant market.

Focus on implementing:

• Integrated value chains (clinical activities that bring the most profits)
• CAD/CAM implant dentistry
• Identifying quality loops and feedback cycles
• Producing quality at every step, not waiting until the end to check the quality
• Designing the correct infrastructure and improving the team attitude
