In this week's episode, we are breaking down effective patient communication and addressing objections properly. It all starts with truly listening to patient concerns, whether it's based in fear, financial worries, or another common issue. Highlighting that the procedure is routine and performed every day can help provide much needed comfort and reassurance for patients and urge them to take action. Third-party payment options and financing are a must-have to make dental care more accessible to patients, and if your case acceptance isn't above 85%, you may be losing thousands in revenue! 

Tune in to learn practical tips for improving patient communication and increasing treatment acceptance to benefit both patients and the practice's bottom line.
