More Referrals, Greater Implant Success

In today’s economy, patients are probably not knocking down your doors to have implant treatment. In an attempt to increase implant placement, some doctors have to resort to advertising or even offer lower-fee implants. These methods might bring in a few patients, but are not cost-effective over the long term.

To create a successful implant practice, you need a motivated group of referring dentists who will continually send potential implant patients to your practice. With our country’s current economic state, a strong referral base isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity!

To build a solid foundation of referring doctors, be sure to:

• Identify the right referral sources. Who’s referring? Who should be referring but isn’t?
• Educate your referring doctors. Offer lunch n’ learns to build excitement.
• Support your referral base. Improve communication between your two offices.

A strong referral base, in conjunction with the rest of your marketing efforts, will make a tremendous difference in the growth of your practice. Revamping your approach to referrals will position your practice for greater success!
