The Business End Of Dentistry

By Allison Bracken


Every business, whether it is a formally trained professional such as a dentist or a business handed down from generation to generation, needs to be able to manage its own affairs without having to hire expensive accountants and consultants. The Schuster Center is a major opportunity for dental professionals to learn how to achieve this independence. With a wide range of courses to choose from in a number of areas such as accounting and business management, they can invest their time and money to enroll in a course that they can attend at their convenience.

"I Only Want What Insurance Will Pay For," is a video for dentists tired of this sort of response to medical recommendations. Many people do not want to pay thousands of dollars for what they see as unnecessary surgery. This video can inform you how to deal properly with these types of situation. It is important to be able to help a patient understand what they should focus on with their oral health. Another important skill is to know how to help as opposed to manipulating a patient. You can learn this by joining "Helping Your Patients Say Yes!" You must know how to guide your patient to make the best decision for them. It must benefit the patient and their long-term health, not just the dentist's bank account.

But knowing how to deal with the basic business functions will save the dentist money by eliminating the often expensive overhead associated with hiring in qualified, yet expensive, consultants and advisors. Saving money is one goal of the Schuster Center, but its primary concern is equipping dentists and other dental professionals with the knowledge they need to operate a functioning dental business office.

If knowledge is power, then dentists can start by enrolling in one course to find out what the academic waters are like before committing any additional time to the effort. Students can go at their own pace, and decide what to learn and when. The Schuster Center offers education, not a degree. As the Schuster Center knows the daily demands of operating a dental office, they are prepared to help you get immediately started with your business education.

To get you started, the Center offers a free consultant coaching call at no obligation to you. You can go to their website and have them contact you to go over your specific needs and develop a training regimen that is best for you, your staff, and the clients you work with. Every practice is different and has different demands from the patients and staff. Of course, if you choose to go in a different direction, then you will not encounter any high-pressure sales tactics or harassing calls urging you to return. You will have the benefit of walking away a more knowledgeable dental practitioner and having a good idea of what you need to learn to become increasingly profitable and expand your practice and better manage your dental business office.
