Dental Practices : How to Get More Case Acceptance in Your Practice
Posted by | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 05-12-2009
In dental practices, dentists often have difficulties on how to make their patients accept the dental cases and treatments. I’ve talked to a lot of people (who are dental patients), who, after I explained what I do for a living, gave me all their questions about dental procedures, and they’ve been wanting to go to their dentist for such procedures. But they haven’t. What could be their reasons for not accepting such dental treatments offered in dental practices? One is that they would really like to go and give their dentist money for the procedure, but it’s still not that urgent for them. Or it could be that they just keep forgetting! In the niche of dental practices, you should be able to come up with some techniques on how to get more case acceptance from your dental patients.
First Step: Remind Them Constantly
In dental practices, you need to follow up your patients with multiple mailings, postcards, etc., to constantly remind them. Contact your past patients, tell them that you have a new service, and you would like their help in previewing it. Or, that you want to get together for their 6 month recall. You should start this immediately! This will cost only a little, and what is important is that this will be helpful for your practice. You will start getting people calling for their recall, which will reactivate them and get them in so you can help them with any other inquiries and concerns that they may have.
Second Step: Describe What You Do In Terms Of What You Do
The important thing that you should always remember is that you must stop describing what you do, in terms of what you sell! ( Just like saying, “Well, I’m a dentist who does cosmetic work… or I have my own dental practice…”).Rather, you must start describing what you do, in terms of what you do! Say something like, “ I help people have a healthier, whiter, more beautiful smile.”, or, ” I assist people in getting cleaner, healthier teeth while they experience pain-free dentistry.” Saying these will be very helpful for you. The big challenge is really from your end, on how you think about yourself. You have to totally re-frame how you think of what you do! The important thing here in dental practices is that people don’t care about what you do; they want to know about the emotional benefits that it will give them. And that’s always the fact!
So, to get more and more case acceptance, first thing you do, is keep reminding your patients through multiple mailings, etc. and second, start describing what you do, in terms of what you do! Remember these steps, and you’ll be on the road to success in your dental practices!
