plus we\u2019ll be protecting you from future bone loss.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s really the best solution for you and a very smart thing to do.\u00a0 Our patients just love the life changing impact of implants.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be sure the doctor goes over all of the details with you once they go through your exam.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to be great.\u00a0 I\u2019m so happy you are here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is just one example.\u00a0 It can be applied to anything.\u00a0 The point is you are reinforcing and expecting the behavior you want, the positive outcome for the patient\u2019s \u2018yes decision\u2019 along the way, not waiting until the end.<\/p>\n<p>This is very powerful and it requires practice as it must become a habit.\u00a0 It takes you going above and beyond by doing more than just going through the motions.\u00a0 Pointing and clicking photos, probing and moving on, listing off numbers of teeth, or even just scheduling an appointment on the phone in a robotic way instead of really having dialogue and engagement with the patient.<\/p>\n<p>Case acceptance begins with the first point of contact.\u00a0 Then every single step, person, conversation, action of the experience is either moving the patients toward or away from a clear and confident clinical commitment with what is in their best interest.<\/p>\n<p>Practice this with each other.\u00a0 Be aware and alert to this with every patient.\u00a0 It will be amazing to see how many more patients you influence to do something important and necessary for themselves versus treatment feeling like it\u2019s just an option.<\/p>\n<p>Next week, we\u2019ll talk more about the real reason patients use money as their excuse for not moving forward.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80\" src=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png 576w, https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2-300x109.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I\u2019m going to give you a very special and useful secret to influencing more patients to move forward with their pathways to health (treatment plans).\u00a0 The patients will actually and naturally desire to do the dentistry that they deserve.
