The Exceptional Dental Assistant Workshop
November 12 & 13, 2009
in beautiful Oklahoma City, OK
with Dr. Mike Fling and Team
for Doctors and Assistants
Objectives for the 2 Days:
Expanding a skilled assistant in a cosmetic/restorative dental practice yields a multitude of benefits. This seminar allows your staff to explore the purpose and duties of utilizing an assistant to full potential. This will motivate and justify the need, benefits and rationale for utilization for training your assistant to become an expanded laboratory assistant.
Reducing the workload of the practitioner enables the dentist to spend more time chair side, thus improving productivity. The laboratory assistant duties include complete “case preparedness and documentation” which eliminates the need for doctors or staff to spend late hours after a long workday or weekends in the lab. This gives the doctor more available time so that they may be more productive. Because model work, die completion, articulation, provisionalization, and lab communication are all completed by the laboratory assistant, the work is standardized, thereby improving consistency, quality and predictability.
Utilization of the entire team and assistant in conjunction with the new patient experience will be presented. This course will review the step-by-step process of the pre-clinical interview, utilization of diagnostic models, photographs, PowerPoint and the XCPT in the consultation process.
This seminar will review these topics: Case preparedness and documentation
How to use immaculate diagnostic study models in case presentation
Utilizing conventional impressions vs. digital scanning When to process mounting/articulation of cases for the lab
The diagnostic wax-up: who does it and when is it done?
Fabrication and polish of provisional restorations
Lab communication and indexes
Downloading and indexing digital photos Utilization, formatting and printing photos
Scheduling pick-up and seat dates with the lab: how long do they need?
How to schedule delivery appointments that ensure complete payment by seat date
Implications to schedule and productivity
Utilizing Photographs, PowerPoint and XCPT in the consultation
