If you’re honest with yourself and doing dentistry right, you’re not the same now as you were when you first started your career. From the time you were fresh out of dental school until today, you’ve grown, taken hundreds or even thousands of hours of continuing education, and had countless hours of clinical experience. Your time in the saddle makes you an expert and provides comfort for your patients because they feel confident you know what you’re doing. Shouldn’t you also expect experience from the rest of your team and your dental answering service?

Insurance—it’s a necessary evil in dentistry. Although many patients want to use their benefits to keep their out-of-pocket costs as low as possible, it creates a tremendous amount of tedious, time-consuming work for your team. How can you continue to accept dental insurance without getting worn down by it? Is there an option that offers dental insurance support? As a business owner, you have four ways to address the insurance question in your practice, but really only a couple options are truly sustainable in the long term.

Imagine calling a dentist’s office to schedule an appointment. A nice voice greets you on the other end of the line, but as soon as you tell them what you want, they say you’ll have to leave a message. How long will it take them to contact you back? Are you going to wait for a call, or will you move on to the next practice that can schedule an appointment? Especially if you need immediate help, you probably are taking your business somewhere else.

This frustrating scenario happens all too often when practices use a dental answering service that only takes messages. Dental Support Specialties is different. We can actually work within your software to schedule appointments. Read on to learn how this system can help your practice thrive.
