In-house Dental Plans
It can be easy to overlook this simple fact: dentistry, like most other professions, is primarily about trust. Patients trust your expertise to deliver quality and reliable care. You trust your team to offer efficient and helpful work. Strong relationships are the foundation of any successful practice, as they allow your team to operate at their best and ensure that patients keep coming back to you for treatment instead of looking to other practices for their next appointment.
The Benefits of In-Office Plans
No one likes talking about money. However, controlling the conversation about costs can be an easier way to deepen relationships with patients, boost loyalty, and increase treatment acceptance. Offering an in-office payment plan can save your patients money while increasing your profits and can help you offer clearer pricing for services, freeing your patients from the inevitable confusion that comes from dealing with a third-party insurance provider. In order to ensure that patients are willing to trust your team enough to consider signing up for an in-office dental plan, it’s beneficial to have an established relationship with them.
The Power of Relationships
Little things can often be more effective than grand gestures. Get your team involved in making each patient feel like the most important person in your practice when they come for appointments. Greet them by name, send birthday and holiday greetings, and follow up on life events they tell you about. It will go a long way in helping them develop a positive feeling towards you and your team.
Focus on the Best Option
Every patient you see will have unique needs, concerns, and financial constraints. By taking the time to build a unique relationship with them and learn more about their situation, you’ll be able to offer treatment plans that are custom-tailored to them. This will make them feel more valued and increase the likelihood that they accept the plan. Take the time to build stronger relationships with your patients.
