Do you want to learn how to become the best leader for your dental team? If you’re nodding yes, you’re going to learn a lot from this episode of the podcast, where I’m joined by Dr. Ankur Gupta.

Dr. Ankur Gupta completed his General Practice Residency in 2005 and built his dental practice soon after. In the beginning, he thought his success and the success of his practice was inevitable. However, his plan went up in smoke as he watched his practice flounder and finances become unpredictable. In an attempt to turn things around, he tried personal and professional “experiments” in self-improvement.

Nowadays, Dr. Ankur Gupta enjoys excellent new patient numbers, case acceptance, a solution orientated dental team, and so much more. He even shares his knowledge and helps other dental professionals across the country implement practical step-by-step strategies to help them see the same success.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What Dr. Ankur Gupta is known for
  • How to become a better leader
  • Why good leadership is important within your dental practice
  • The importance of showing your team appreciation
  • How to do an annual evaluation of your team members
  • Why every practice owner needs to create a “dream team” vision

Did you know that the five love languages can help improve your relationships with your team and your patients?

Dr. Trent Redfearn is a dentist with a unique skill set. He attended University of Missouri-Columbia and graduated with a B.S. in chemical engineering. He then attended University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry, receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2008. Since then, he has done extensive training in communication and teaches dental teams how to strengthen and improve their relationships using the five love languages. Dr. Trent Redfearn is also the Founder of Dentovation Academy of Dental Assisting.

The five love languages include words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. Not everyone responds to these five love languages in the same way. Some people value gifts while others prefer to build relationships by spending quality time with someone they want to connect with. By understanding each of the five love languages further, you can use that knowledge to build both your personal and professional relationships – including the connections you build with patients in your dental practice.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why it’s important to show appreciation to your team and vice versa
  • How to improve your team’s communication skills with each other and patients
  • Understanding how the five love languages work when it comes to improving relationships
  • Why you should figure out what love language each team member responds to the most
  • How to resolve conflict using your knowledge on the five love languages
  • How to identify your blind spots and respond to people with a different love language than your own

If you would like to connect with Dr. Trent Redfearn and learn more about using the five love languages to help build deeper connections with team members and patients, you can reach out to him via his LinkedIn profile.

In this trying time when the world is faced with so much uncertainty and fear, it’s more important than ever that we come together as a community – even if that means we can only interact virtually.

The ADA (American Dental Association) is recommending that dentists nationwide postpone elective procedures in response to the spread of the coronavirus disease. This is said to last for at least three weeks, but it may continue longer depending on the development of COVID-19.

In response, I decided to reach out to Michael Anderson, the Co-Founder of Wonderist Agency, a full-service dental marketing agency. Wonderist Agency delivers the best in dental marketing, with a smile. They also specialize in virtual consults, which is something that many dental practices are likely to shift towards during this difficult time to connect with patients and team members alike.

Michael and I discuss how dental practices can leverage virtual solutions to help assist through COVID-19 such as hosting virtual consultations with patients, training team members, and how to cope with the impact that COVID-19 will have on things like patient care, team training and revenue.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to leverage virtual consults
  • How to determine what cases are classified as emergencies
  • How you can be there for your team and patients during trying times like this
  • Everything you need to know about hosting virtual consults
  • How to use Wonderist’s virtual consult software at no cost

If you want to use the same virtual software that Michael talked about in this podcast episode, head over to https://www.yourvirtualconsult.com, where you can access the software at no cost during this time.

Although the site will ask for your credit card information to sign-up, you will NOT be charged. Remember to use code FIGHTCOVID19 to benefit from the no cost virtual consults offer.

I hope that you find this episode helpful and please know that my team and I here at Delivering WOW are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers and we hope that you, your families, and team members stay safe and healthy.
