Are you planning to start a dental practice or will you be taking over an existing practice? Then you will soon face the fundamental question of leadership style. How do you want to lead your employees? We will introduce you to three different styles and explain how to find the right one for you and your team.

The current shortage of skilled workers is also affecting dental practices. Recruiting staff is often very difficult. Recruitment options, such as newspaper ads or employment websites, that used to work well in the past have long since ceased to be successful. Social recruiting is the new and promising method. But what is it all about? How do you go about it? In this article, we answer your questions.

As a dentist, closing your practice is a very significant step toward retiring from your professional life. What you have painstakingly built up over decades must now find a suitable successor. One key to success is to allow enough time for this process. In this article, we will tell you what you need to know.

Good time management is one of the fundamentals of any dental practice. If processes are not clearly structured and the duration of each treatment is not correctly estimated, waiting times go up. This results in dissatisfied patients, who in turn vent their displeasure on the staff. Therefore, try to optimize your time management so that you are not caught in this vicious circle in the first place.

Efficient, economical, and patient-friendly: good patient management is one of the most important pillars of any dental practice. But what can you do if you do not have enough time for all of your patients? Long waiting times can be very frustrating for patients. In this article, we will show you how to handle an ever-increasing number of regular as well as emergency patients. After all, efficient patient management not only means less stress for your team but also satisfied patients who are likely to come to your practice again.

How can I attract more patients? This is certainly a question all dentists ask themselves regularly. Especially new practices face this challenge. With the advent of the Internet, it has become almost mandatory for practices to be visible online. Using the web, you can attract patients from your area. Of course, it is up to you to decide which impression you want to create online. Your website can, thus, make a huge difference.

There are now countless dental software programs on the market. We at dentalXrai also offer AI-based software that supports dentists in analyzing X-ray images. However, these software programs differ significantly in terms of their features and some will bring more benefit to your practice than others. In this article, we have focused on providers who offer appointment scheduling and let patients rate doctors’ services. We will compare the three largest providers: Doctolib, jameda, and Doctena.
