Very Dental: Make it Look Like a Car Payment with Dave Roehr
So much of our continuing education time is spent learning to do "big case" dentistry. For most patients the problem with selling life changing dentistry is sticker shock. What's the solution? Dave Roehr is the CEO of Proceed Finance. He had a legendary career at Cabelas as CFO and president and when he decided to retire he found that it wasn't for him. So, he brought his experience in financing to dentistry! Dave explains how research has shown that most anyone in your practice will choose to finance life changing dentistry if you can make it feel like a car payment! How is Proceed Finance different than other dental financing? $2500 minimum to $70k and up! How does Proceed Finance work? How can you use Proceed Finance to "get your reps." Some links from the show: Proceed Finance Cabelas Also, I'd like to thank Dave and Proceed Finance for his continued support of the Voices of Dentistry meeting!

Group Funtion: Cloud Software Built by Dentists for Dentists
Dental practice management software. Usually it's not the kind of thing that people get passionate about. Maybe you chose one back in 1998 and have just stuck with it because the fear of change was greater than the frustration of the status quo. Maybe you inherited your software from the previous owner of your practice. No matter how you ended up with your current software, you really should think about how well it's serving you. Today Alan is joined by Dr. Rania Saleh, the inventor/creator of Oryx Dental Software. Oryx is a smart and intuitive cloud based practice management software that was built around concepts taught by Dr. John Kois and the Kois Center. Rania invited two current users of Oryx, Dr. Meredith Gantos and Dr. Ashish Patel to talk about their experience using Oryx and why they chose Oryx in the first place. Some of the topics that the group covered were: How did you choose Oryx and what helped you make that decision? What was switching to Oryx like? What hardware do you use with Oryx? How does Oryx handling imaging? What are your favorite features? What would you tell someone who is interested but is stuck on the idea of change? Cloud software is the future of dental practice management software and these folks are pretty excited to talk about Oryx!
