Inviting Dentists, Dental Therapists, Hygienists and Dental Assistants to a special and informative evening to discuss growth strategies as clinicians.

Prevention is better than cure, and it is never too early or too late to ask ourselves these questions:

Why are you working so hard?
Are you working too hard for what you are taking home?
Has your dental practice put you on the road to burnout?
Is stress ruining your love for dentistry?
Are you trying to find patients who want dentistry?
Is medical aid dictating the way you practice?

In this lecture, Dr Gerald Kaplan brings his years of experience as a Prosthodontist to share with dentists, dental therapists and hygienists, to equip them with vision to intentionally plan their course to success in the dental industry.

Dr Gerald Kaplan recently retired, and has seen dentistry change over the years from taking impressions with copper bands and a copper plated die through rubber impressions to digital dentistry. But the more things change the more they stay the same.

Dr Kaplan qualified as a dentist in 1970 and after four years in general practice, completed his Prosthodontic training at Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry. On his return to South Africa he has shared his knowledge and clinical skill in various teaching posts and dental societies, and maintained a successful prosthodontic practice from which he recently retired. His passion has always been to teach and help people reach their potential by keeping up-to-date with the changing world of dentistry.

Charting your Course to Success

TOPICS

Introduction to the success of private practice

Defining success in dentistry
Understanding the unique challenges of private practice in not only delivering dentistry of clinical excellence but also appreciating the fact that the practice needs to run as a profitable business to achieve financial success
Setting clear goals for professional growth

Mastering patient communication and care

We live in an age where knowledge is easily available at the touch of a finger through the power of the Internet and especially Youtube
this lecture is designed as a guide to maximising the benefits of these incredible sources

Optimising practice management for success

Dental practices once stuck in a technological Stone Age have more access and insight into digital technologies than ever before and knowledge is the key to staying ahead of the curve when it comes to acquiring and retaining patients
The front office is the first place a patient sees, and their first experience with the kind of care they will receive in the practice. The front office houses much of the “business” of the dental practice. This lecture will highlight the challenges and give guidance in creating an effective reality

Embracing technological advancements

This lecture will briefly touch on integrating digital technology into the practice but is not designed to discuss any practical skills

Professional development and wellness
