The LeadingDental Sleep Medicine Training
If you want to implement sleep apnea appliance therapy or 10x your cases per month, this course is for you.
This is the premier seminar that since 2010 has helped thousands of dental professionals establish a successful dental sleep medicine practice.
Obtain the proven blueprints from dental sleep medicine mentors and gain hands-on training for you and your team to achieve powerful practice growth and transform the lives of obstructive sleep apnea patients.
Why Attend This Dental Sleep Medicine Course?
Dental sleep medicine can be an incredibly rewarding and profitable service. We teach you how to remove roadblocks and establish a game plan for powerful and sustained dental sleep medicine practice growth.
Have you faced any of these common challenges while trying to grow dental sleep medicine (DSM)?
- Inefficient systems – Dental sleep medicine is considered a medically necessary service with requirements and protocols differing from other dental services. We share our proven workflow that allows dentists to efficiently shift into the medical model for OSA cases that saves time and doesn’t disrupt productivity.
- Team not trained – Dentists that don’t have their team on board rarely see success in DSM. It is essential that your team is assigned and trained in their roles and passionate about changing lives. We empower your team with the key skills that facilitate success, including screening, communication, and case acceptance.
- Plateau on case volume – Many offices get stuck doing only 2 dental sleep cases a month. Small but strategic improvements can make a big impact on practice growth. It’s possible to 10x that case volume through a multi-channel approach that includes referrals, marketing campaigns, and conversion optimization.
- Lack of physician referrals – The most successful dental sleep practices have referral networks with the sleep and medical community. We show you how to gain referrals and build strong partnerships through proven communication techniques for sustained long-term growth.
- Medical billing struggles – This is often the biggest roadblock for dentists which is why we have a dedicated course next door to train your front office on how to efficiently implement medical billing for oral appliance therapy and other services like TMD and oral surgeries.
The following attributes are what make this dental sleep medicine course so effective for overcoming hurdles and facilitating implementation:
