When facing edentulism, many patients end up choosing removable implant restorations over fixed restorations due to a lack of awareness, budget, or previous misconceptions. As a skilled clinician, it may be easy for you to see the benefits of a fixed restoration yourself, but knowing how to make that accessible to your patient base can be easier said than done. That’s why it’s important to understand the factors that may lead a patient to favoring one treatment or the other and how you can guide them to choose the solution that will best fit their needs and lifestyle.
ZestMasters Alumni report that fostering these personal connections with your mentors are equally as valuable as the content of the course, itself! Afterall, success is about who you know just as much as what you know. While you may not be guaranteed to meet all of these renown speakers at any given event, getting to know who you’re going to be learning from beforehand will help you know what to expect and have a leg up when it comes to networking.
National Dental Hygienist Week is almost here and Zest Dental Solutions is ready to celebrate! If you haven’t heard yet, the second week in April is recognized as National Dental Hygienist Appreciation Week – Is your practice ready to recognize these hard workers who keep patients happy and the practice running?
If you have an edentulous (or soon to be edentulous) patient who needs a full arch smile restoration but is not a good candidate to go straight into a fixed solution, you may be weighing the options for removable implant-retained solutions. At Zest Dental Solutions, we offer two removable implant-retained options: The original LOCATOR and LOCATOR R-Tx. R-Tx was created as the next generation of the original LOCATOR abutment system, but there are still a few reasons why you may want to opt for the original. Every case is unique, so your decision will depend on your patient’s needs and lifestyle as much as the differences between these two treatment options. To make an informed decision, it is important to understand the differences, features, and benefits of each option.
One of the best aspects of the dental industry is the fact that it is ever evolving. Since it is a unique combination of science, art, technology, and medicine, it is important to continuously hone each of those areas within your own career. If there was a program you could attend that would foster growth in all of these areas and then some, would you attend?
Most people see going to the dentist as a task that they dread. As such, it takes a special kind of person to not only deliver highly skilled work but also to lead with empathy, compassion, and understanding for their patients day in and day out. If you haven’t heard yet, March 6th is National Dentist’s Day, but one day doesn’t seem like nearly enough time to celebrate the outstanding dental professionals who make a difference in their patients’ and their team’s lives everyday. That is why Zest Dental Solutions is highlighting Dental Heroes all month long!
If you’ve recently purchased a LOCATOR FIXED® bronze, silver, or gold starter kit but don’t know where to start when it comes to finding your first case, we are here to help. It’s exciting to be offering a new service and you should be proud of yourself for taking the time to hone your skills and invest in your continuing education! You’re one step closer to being able to scale your practice and increase your revenue while also adding value for your patients. But in order to get there, you need case acceptances. Instead of waiting for new patients to trickle in, the best place to start is where you are.
