Dentists: An Endangered Species: A Survival Guide for Fee-For-Service Care

Dr. Homoly offers what every fee-for-service dentist wants: A practice model that will endure in the changing business climate, a method of providing care outside the limitations of dental insurance, a stress-free case presentation style, and a practice philosophy that makes a career in dentistry survivable. This premier text focuses on four major themes: 1) selling sophisticated reconstructive dentistry ushered in by the therapeutic technical advances of cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, and all forms of dental high technology; 2) bringing an enhanced sense of value to the dental team/patient relationship essential in the accelerating lifestyles of our patients; 3) escaping the limitations of dental insurance and managed care; and 4) understanding what each member of the dental team needs to do to insure a thriving practice.

Contents:
