In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen explores the four most expensive words in dentistry: “Let’s get you scheduled.” Once a patient leaves the operatory, motivation can fade quickly, along with the treatment. He explains why same-day treatment can be one of the biggest opportunities for a practice to improve case acceptance and make better use of existing chair time. Making it work takes more than simply asking. The schedule needs some flexibility, the team needs to be prepared, and the doctor needs to make a clear offer: “I can do this today if you’ve got the time.” Dr. Killeen challenges you to track how often diagnosed single-tooth procedures are completed the same day, then make one small change to start moving the number.
