Building the New Practice

Dr. Amy James

Our profession has faced a multitude of advancements in the last 15 years and will continue to do so in the near future as technology becomes less expensive and bioengineering becomes more mainstream. If we are to survive as a specialty, we must embrace the opportunity to incorporate these major changes into our practices. You will not be progressive if you only make incremental refinements with brackets and wires or aligners. You must also become comfortable with digital, 3D diagnostics and treatment planning. And if that is not enough, the successful practice can never feel “too old” to incorporate new approaches to team cohesiveness and personal strengths, as well as community outreach through media marketing and search engine optimization. We must look at the big picture and build the whole package and continuously refine it, no matter what stage of our career!

3:15 pm (1 hr 15 min)
