      PART 1

      WHY DENTAL IMAGE MATTERS

      1

      Why You Are Losing Patients (Hint: It’s Not Your Clinical Skills)

      Ever been handed a worn, torn twenty? You know, that twenty-dollar bill that has seen better days? It’s limp, wrinkled, and a bit dirty. Set that same twenty next to a brand-new, crisp twenty, and you’ll be drawn to the new twenty every time.

      Offer both twenty-dollar bills to a friend and see which one is the winner. New and crisp always prevails.

      The same thing happens at work every day with our patients. They are drawn toward individuals who exude personal selfconfidence and pride, those who are pressed and polished and look like they are happy to be at work. When they enter an office, people want to be able to tell at first glance that the team members value themselves and the patients they are ready to serve.

      Understanding how others experience you is important because it affects how others treat you, which ends up affecting how you feel about yourself. Seriously, your self-esteem changes based on the feedback you get from others and the mental messages you give yourself. It can and will fluctuate daily, if not hourly, depending on circumstances.

      Joseph De Loux, a neurologist and author of Your Synopsis Self, documented the daily fluctuations in our self-esteem based on the information our brain assembles. We notice how others treat us, and confidence and perception of our worthiness vacillates.

      Do you know people in the dental industry who have this problem? They face eroding profitability because they focus too much on attracting new patients and not enough on patient retention by building trust.

      From my experience as a dental practice management consultant with a successful twenty-five-year track record, I give dental practices clarity by showing them how to remove common practice financial frustrations that they have total control to fix. To spread this message, I wrote this book.

      You Are Being Judged

      This book is for everyone at the dental practice, whether you work in the administration of the practice or in the clinical aspect. The advice I offer is for the dentist, hygienist, office manager, and dental assistants. It takes a village to create an image and a consistent practice brand.

      Sometimes a group photo with three or four team members communicates that personalized dental experience.

      Consciously or subconsciously, people make judgments regarding whether your dental office is to be trusted and whether you look the part of competent professionals. Two important adjectives to add to your list of image goals would be well-groomed and successful. These are not goals for vanity’s sake, but instead for the visual reassurance of patients’ encounters with us; they affect the quality of their overall experience.

      Think about it: we know packaging matters when we hand out toothbrushes and floss in a nice gift bag with the office logo versus a plain white bag or no bag at all. No one can argue that the toothbrush and floss did not really increase in quality or value with the addition of a nice bag, but the pride you felt handing those same items to your patient in the personalized bag is clear. Packaging effects your patient’s perception of what they are receiving.

      Another important reason to pay attention to your professional image and grooming is the power of the first impression. Understand that every day in your practice you may encounter new patients or their family members for the first time, and that these first impressions are, indeed, lasting ones. Clinical team members, be they the doctor, the hygienist, or dental assistants who take the time to make sure their shoes are spotless—that their lab jacket or scrubs are washed and ironed as well as tailored for fit—communicate to their patient that they value and respect the patient and the practice. Hair should always be worn up and off the shoulders, and minimal jewelry and natural-looking makeup are the best recommendations for anyone working with patients.

      The Flowered Wallpaper Syndrome

      Sad, but often true, is the fact that the longer we have been in practice and the greater our clinical skills and set of services offered, the more likely we are to no longer look at things from our patient’s point of view.

      Why is that? I think this occurs for two reasons.

      The first reason is that familiarity leads to not seeing things at all. The longer you have been exposed to your reception area, your outdoor signage, or your parking lot, the less you see it. I call it the flowered wallpaper syndrome.

      After the kids had graduated from high school and were off to college, my parents moved and purchased a new home. New for them, but thirty years old. When the grown kids visited
