Let’s face reality. After you have presented your treatment plan to your patient, often the first words that come out of their mouth are ‘How Much?” We all wished that patients asked you brilliant clinical questions or had a deep interest in the materials that you will use, but often their biggest concern is how much the treatment is going to cost.

Running time: 69:00

If you can figure out how to realistically fit your big cases into the patient’s budget you will experience greater case acceptance. To share some great information about how to make big cases affordable in a way that works for you as well as the patient, Gary invited his friend Dave Roehr as this week’s guest on the Thriving Dentist Show.
