miniDentist: critical, rational, logical.
Analytical reasons to use and implement miniDentist into your practice.
Increase Treatment
VALUE:
We know how to educate patients on what treatment they may need and the explanations behind it, before they see the dentist.*2,*5
PROBLEM:
10 minutes wasted talking about dental basics, rather than 10 minutes used on more legitimate questions or social bonding.*6
VALUE:
We know how to increase hygiene appointment frequency of patients.*2
PROBLEM:
Patients do not adequately engage in proper dental care. This decreases treatment completion and frequency.
Post-Op Problems
VALUE:
We know how to prevent patients from complaining to their friends or social reviews about misunderstood post-op concerns.
PROBLEM:
At least one misunderstanding per month. This decreases trust, patient referrals, and positive reviews.
Scheduling
VALUE:
We know how to help the scheduler make less scheduling mistakes related to inaccurate patient information.*3 This makes a leaner and clearer schedule.
PROBLEM:
30-to-60 minutes of the dentist’s time is wasted by incorrect exam and treatment scheduling.
VALUE:
We know how to prevent patients from scheduling unnecessary post-op evaluations for self-resolving concerns.
PROBLEM:
15-to-30 minutes of scheduled time is wasted unnecessarily. 15 minutes of that is the dentist’s time.
VALUE:
We know how to educate patients on post-op concerns, so they do not lose trust in the office.
PROBLEM:
5 minutes of the scheduler time is inefficiently used and partially wasted by having to talk on the phone to pacify and educate the patient on what are typically normal post-operative situations.
Assistants
VALUE:
We know how to cut the time it takes a dentist to do a limited exam in half,
with an assistant’s help.*
PROBLEM:
5-10 minutes of the dentist’s time is used inefficiently or wasted.
Hygienists
VALUE:
We know how to cut the time it takes a dentist to do a limited exam in half, with a hygienist’s help.*
PROBLEM:
5-10 minutes of the dentist’s time is used inefficiently or wasted.
Website and Digital Scheduling
VALUE:
We know how to get patients to use technology to schedule appointments.
PROBLEM:
5-10 minutes of the scheduler’s time is used inefficiently or wasted when scheduling over the phone.

No studying or memorizing needed.
Onboarding a dental office can be done in 20 minutes
The solution is accomplished by leveraging technology and team members to ask questions and talk like a dentist
Quick and easy to implement.
Decreases stress
Increases positive reviews
Increases production*4 and profits
Increases dental IQ’s
Spoils the dentist
* Showing the team members how to ask the important limited exam questions in a consistent, logical, and efficient manner. We also know how to get the team
member to relay this information to the dentist in a consistent, logical, efficient, and predictable manner.
*1 Helping them better understand what the emergency/limited exam patients need to resolve their concerns.
*2 Increasing trust with unbiased sources of information decreases stress and increases dental IQ. Patient Stress and low dental IQ play a negative role in the patient’s not proceeding with necessary and preventive dental treatment.
*3 Improving the scheduler’s and patient’s understanding of the patient’s tooth concern.
*4 One dental office has increased collections by $400,000+ since implementing miniDentist.
*5 Leveraging technology allows us to collect patient information to prepare the patient and dental office by predicting the probable treatment needed and the
logic and variations which may be associated with it.
*6 Unfortunately, the combination of generalized low dental IQ with dental anxiety of the unknown takes an excessive amount of time to overcome while in the dental
office. When the patient is prepped prior, especially by an unbiased source, the patient is generally less anxious, more trusting, more informed about their options.
