YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY THE EXPERTS: THIS ISN’T A PANEL DISCUSSION IT’S YOUR PERSONALIZED LEARNING EXPERIENCE!
Is this a panel discussion? NO! IT IS YOUR PROGRAM! Gordon and a selected group of dental experts answer YOUR PERSONAL QUESTIONS in the following manner. YOU deliver written questions to the course hosts. Gordon sorts and assigns the questions to an expert. About 100 questions are answered including every area of dentistry.

Description:

Unlock the fastest, most reliable path to practice growth! Dr. Katz shares proven strategies to dramatically increase treatment acceptance for restorative and periodontal care in this high-impact presentation. Many practices unknowingly hinder their growth by lacking clarity and consistency in their diagnostic criteria, leading to under-diagnosis, patient confusion, and lost opportunities. Learn how establishing uniform diagnostic standards can reveal far more opportunities for patient care and discover how Artificial Intelligence can enhance this process even further. Combined with improved treatment presentation skills and patient-centered, benefit-driven communication, these techniques lead to higher case acceptance, stronger patient loyalty, and a thriving referral network. Drawing from over 20 years of coaching clinicians, Dr. Katz reveals why actual practice growth stems from elevating clinical performance not just “practice management” and why your success depends on delivering care that consistently improves your patient’s health and lives.

Learn:

• to discover the most effective methods to grow your practice sustainably
• to understand the critical role of consistent, calibrated diagnostic criteria
• about the concept of “protective” diagnosis and strategic treatment planning
• to explore how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping diagnostic accuracy and boosting case acceptance
