with Dental Marketing Consultant, Dick Chwalek

& Results Expert, Oli Gonsalves.

Since late summer 2008, Dick Chwalek of Niche Dental has been working with Dr. Brian a Klym, a dentist in northwest Michigan.

While Michigan is ranked fifth in unemployment, the Connective Communication^© System developed by Mr. Chwalek (and fully deployed in Dr. Klym’s case) was able to overcome what is the perception by most people and reality for many dentists: which it is very difficult if not impossible to gain much or any ground in a tough economy especially if it is dentistry since no one likes going to the dentist, etc.

How was this possible? Is Dr. Klym’s situation a fluke? Is Traverse City so much different than every other town in Michigan let alone the rest of the country?

Waiting extra years means more dental work is needed when the person finally decides to come in. Dr. Brian Klym and his Northwood Dental Team – located in northwest Michigan – provide various benefits to those people from a comfortable dental office environment to oral sedation dentistry.

The video provides a visual synopsis of those benefits.

• Article by NDA Member & CBA Chief Actuary Charlie Steingas

As a dentist and a small business owner you probably work with many different trusted advisors who help you run your business. You count on these advisors to keep you aware of changes and make sure everything is running smoothly.

Your attorney makes sure you are aware of any legal changes affecting your business that may need attention, your accountant helps you plan tax strategies to minimize the amount you are giving to Uncle Sam each year, and you get advice from experts about new dental technology and safety measures to improve your practice.

This is the 2nd Installment of my series on Connective Communication^© as how it relates to the way patients and dentists perceive their 'fields of disinterest'...

First, A Quick Previous Portion Review...

Dentistry Reductionism Source Discovery:

Words & Questions Above: Who do these words and statements relate to:

• = The Public & Patients Value Perspective of Dentistry
• = Most Dentists View of/Approach to Marketing

Hmmm… Notice the similarity?

Whoa...! Correlation may just Equal Causation!

Theorem = Patients prioritize the value of dentistry as dentists do the value of communicating the priority to patients.

More and more dentists are prescribing dental implants as a solution to replacing permanent teeth, especially now in an aging population.

The primary reason being the immediate function and dramatic improvements in a person’s smile.

Many general dentists are now incorporating this restorative option in to their practice as it has been said to be among the most successful procedures performed.

The following dental marketing blog/article is formatted & written in a style that may challenge readers who are partial to concise and self contained concepts.

Why?

The point I am making requires a discerning rethinking of communication in reference to dentistry. Unpacking the dental care prioritization riddle is NOT found in ‘Secret’ Dental Marketing Reports!

And, why would anyone hide a solution from dentists, which would help improve dental health in their community?

Further Strengthening Our Breadth of Member Expertise, the NDA Welcomes Aboard Cash Balance Actuaries…

Charlie Steingas, owner of Cash Balance Actuaries, LLC, has joined the Northern Dental Alliance (NDA).

A Minnesota-based organization, NDA also advises dentists in the areas of office safety, construction, marketing, laboratory services, banking, practice transition, staffing, retirement plans, and personal financial strategies. 

The following dental marketing blog/article is formatted & written in a style that may challenge readers who are partial to concise and self contained concepts.

Why?

The point I am making requires a discerning rethinking of dental care ‘communication. Unpacking the dental care prioritization riddle is NOT found in “Secret” Dental Marketing Reports!

And, why would anyone hide a solution from dentists, which would help improve dental health in their community?

Epple Financial Advisors, LLC. is pleased to announce that Rick Epple, CFP^®, has been selected by Dental Practice Report magazine as one of the “2011 Best Financial Advisers for Dentists” list in their April 2011 edition.

Mr. Epple is one of only three financial advisors in the State of Minnesota to be included in this year’s rankings.

This second video concludes general discussion about New Patient Availability, which is the stable or constant number of consumers who are searching for a dentist or dental offices.

The ‘Availability’ quotient does NOT change just because another dentist moves into the area or merely because the ‘economy’ improves. 

A THREE Dimensional System

– Freed From Generic, Founded on Value, Focused On Success

• Reliable, Credible Consistency
• Four Influential Communication Bedrocks: 
• Exceptional Budgeting: Flexible, Scalable & Accountable

Connective Communication©

CLIENT CASE STUDY

1. Relationship began August 2008 with New Logo and Website development.
2. Elements scaled up and phased in at client pace with goals in place.
3. Complete 'Connective' approach achieved June 2009.
4. Improving Results Recorded by February 2009!
5. Average 33+ New Patients Per Month Since at least September 2009.
6. 22+ Months Straight Growth 10%+
7. Starting Mid 2009 - Overthrowing the Downturn!
8. Alone in the Pack - of 500 dentist 'group' – Only dentist with upward sales!
9. June 2010 Best June EVER!
10. ALSO, His BEST MONTH EVER!

‘Availability’ is generally constant yet can be increased when the right combination of activators is in place.

Connective Communication^© involves combining the layers of marketing required to activate a vibrant new patient base and sustain a high level of available participants. 

At Your Boca Dentist, owner Dr. Angela Ramirez, decisions to move ahead with dental treatment are made only when the patient understands the plan and knows what the goal is.

For their patient Brenda, it meant renewing her smile for a second time - first in 1988 and then last year. “I was able to see right away how I would treat her smile,” Dr. Angela Ramirez said. “I knew I would be able to design a more natural and complementary smile for her.”
