Dental implants can be one of the key driving forces in creating high OMS practice income. They are the foundation of high production surgical practices. Dentistry is changing rapidly and becoming more competitive every day. If there was ever a time to plan and take the right steps to implement implant referral strategies, this is it. While the economy may be uncertain, this session will share proven strategies that will increase implant referrals. Many referring doctors do not understand when to refer or what type of cases to send because they are afraid of complex restorative treatment. This presentation will outline the exact steps that an OMS practice can take to increase referrals by 20 percent or more in less than one year. Key factors include the professional relations coordinator, the implant treatment coordinator, the quantity of referral strategies and the correct combination of the various relationship-building opportunities that allow every practice to increase referrals quickly and permanently.
There will be a refreshment break from 2:30 - 3 p.m.

Understand the different categories of referring doctors and how to address their hesitancy (or paranoia) regarding implant dentistry.
Identify strategies to immediately implement in the practice that will increase implant referrals.
