Topic: Treatment Planning

Speaker: Bobby Hansen Jr.

Topic Details: In a modern dental landscape focused solely on “GETTING” new patients, offices often forget what to do with them.

With the national case acceptance average under 30%, practices routinely let millions of dollars slip through the cracks every year. What's worse, they don’t have a system to manage those patients!

Bobby will show you the tools you can use to increase case acceptance and production without significantly increasing expense.
