Episode 170: “Stop Treatment Planning Dental Implants!” In this episode, we dive deep into the critical importance of forward-thinking treatment planning in dental practice. Too often, reactive decision-making — addressing problems as they arise — can lead to rushed, emergency situations that disrupt both the dentist’s schedule and the patient’s long-term oral health. But how can we transition from this reactive mindset to one that anticipates issues and builds a comprehensive, proactive treatment plan? We’ll explore strategies to minimize last-minute crises in your schedule while also empowering patients to take ownership of their dental health. You'll learn how to shift the conversation from "fixing" isolated dental issues to promoting full, comprehensive care that helps patients understand the importance of addressing underlying problems before they become emergencies. In this episode, we’ll break down the differences between single-tooth dentistry — where issues are dealt with in isolation — and comprehensive diagnosis, which looks at the patient’s entire oral health landscape. Adopting a comprehensive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also helps you run a more efficient and sustainable practice. We’ll discuss the profound impact this shift can have, not just on patient care but on the overall success of your practice. Join us as we share practical tips, real-life examples, and actionable advice for transforming your treatment planning process. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, enhance patient trust, or improve your bottom line, this episode will give you the tools you need to elevate your practice and become the proactive, forward-thinking clinician you aspire to be.

Head over to the Very Dental Podcast to hear part 1 of our interview. Today we discuss... What are the strategies and paths that a dentist should take to learn treatment planning comprehensive dentistry? What qualifies which CEs you would take and when you would take them? When is cheap CE good enough? How do you choose a comprehensive treatment planning philosophy? When do you pursue a continuum of learning from companies like, Spear, Kois, Pankey, Dawson? What procedures do you add to your practice first and why? How does literature impact your decision-making process and does it or should it have an impact on your careers now and in the beginning?
