Medical Billing for Dental Implants: Best Practices

2023-07-17T08:58:50-04:00

Medical Billing for Dental Implants: Best Practices Medical insurance billing for dental implant services is one of the most complex and challenging processes in the medical reimbursement arena. Dental implant reconstructions require a high level of clinical expertise on the clinician's part and involve high-tech diagnostic and treatment "armamentariums."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Local Search (SEO)

2023-05-23T11:59:44-04:00

I would like to expand on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and dental implants, which we covered in our last post. While artificial intelligence is not intended to replace dentists, it is already changing the way patients search for implant dentists.

You will notice that the results differ greatly from the traditional Google search, which is increasingly frustrating for patients these days. It is important to also try the same exercise on Google. If your name does not appear in the top positions [...]

Names have value. Names help sell. Names set expectations for quality. Names set expectations for pricing. Toyota, BMW, Lexus, BMW.

In implant dentistry, we have ClearChoice, [...]

Why You Need To Exit the Implant Case Sales Game - Part 4 Fortunately, there is a new way to break from the failed past and approach sales in a way that’s far more predictable (at least with Big Case Marketing): The pandemic was an economic boom period for implant practices who went into it with strong advertising already in place. Record months and two record years were on the books for many clients. But that gravy train couldn’t last. My gut said, ‘what goes up must come down’ and I believed things were going to get much harder as [...]

All of the facts we’ve reviewed in Part 1 about sales capabilities and the odds working against great clinicians from ever being proficient at sales (85% chance against) are more than okay because the everyday reality for patients is that clinical outcomes need to be at high levels!
