This is how to connect with your patients on a completely new level

We’ve all experienced it: after weeks of work, you present a meticulously compiled treatment plan to your patient… and are met with hesitance - or worse, indifference. It can be disheartening when no matter what you say, your patient just doesn’t share your enthusiasm for the treatment plan you know will solve the issue they are experiencing.

This is why we often say that while delivering the highest standards of clinical treatment is our main aim, it’s not the only one. Knowing how to explain the treatment in the right way - so that our patient feels excited and motivated - is also fundamental.

In this article we will explain how the DSD Provider course can be your springboard to develop and use a set of proven skills to show patients the value of the solutions you are offering.

What will I learn about patient communication at the DSD Provider course?

The DSD Provider course curriculum explores several topics to help you communicate with impact and connect with your patients:

• Emotional Dentistry

• Treatment presentation strategies

• Perceived value creation

• DSD App demo

• Live patient mock up demo

• How to manage patient appointments

You will also see how the digital workflows we teach come to life through a live patient demo of the DSD Mock up – and how this can have a profound impact on case acceptance.

In addition, you will have the chance to explore how the new DSD App can be used in the digital workflows and patient communication strategies covered by the course.

How do these solutions actually help with patient communication?

Some of DSD’s most well-known strategies are practical methods to change how we organize and present treatment information to make it more attractive to our ideal patients.

One great example is the DSD Emotional Presentation. This is an easy-to-follow formula to build a visual treatment plan presentation that shows patients how their new smile could look and supports you to communicate the value of the treatment being offered.

How easy is it to use these patient communication strategies after the course?

The DSD Provider course teaches the strategies so that you can go back and implement them yourself in your dental office. You can also access the DSD App free of charge to easily create compelling patient smile simulations.

However, as a course participant, you will also have the option to work with the DSD Planning Center in order to start using these strategies with more support from us. Your course ticket includes a complimentary DSD Design product (worth $750*) for a patient of your choice, which includes the Motivational Mock up files that allow you to deliver the smile test drive.

You will also receive full onboarding training in the DSD Planning Center workflows to get familiar with how to design and plan patient cases in a way that will be more attractive to your ideal patients, improve case acceptance and experience the impact of working with the interdisciplinary team.
