The new patient experience is without a doubt the most important factor for your patient's enthusiasm for optimal dentistry and for the future of your practice! The importance of your practice vision and philosophy and its role in the new patient approach starts the module. An exercise to help clarify your vision is included. The approach of the preclinical interview is highlighted with video clips. The technical aspects of the TMJ, muscle and occlusal exam are shown with photos, graphics and video clips. The behavioral aspect of the clinical exam is highlighted with analogies and video clips so you can make the exam a meaningful, interesting and interactive experience for your patient. A way to conclude the exam appointment so your patient is enthused about returning for the consultation finishes the module.
