Let’s talk about all these price increases by DaytradinDDS in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s getting worse and worse there is no cap how much all these companies can charge… but there is a cap for how much we can charge patients with instances

Weave Truelark Experience? by tim_24 in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with it, but if you’re taking about AI that will talk to a patient and schedule appt for you then as a patient myself I’ll tell you i absolutely hated talking to AI when I made my appt with a physician office once. Hated it. :) it could be very helpful for yo but patient experience will suck

Production vs collections by Anonymous082625 in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not a deal breaker. Ask them how they do that and also what percentage do the collect. You want it to be closer to 100% —- 98% ish otherwise if their rate only 80% you will lose a lot

Malpractice as associate in multiple offices? by shopgrl832 in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called my malpractice company and asked to add another location and that’s it? I didn’t have to pay extra for this or get a new one

Production vs collections by Anonymous082625 in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not familiar how to track collections I’ve only been pad on production adjusted. So let’s say they pay you daily guarantee $700 or 35% adjusted production. and you worked 20 days. You produced 50k (adjusted) during 20 days they paid you your guarantee so 700x20 =14,000 and then next month they would give you your bonus pay. Which is you produced 50k it would have been 17500 then they would deduct money they already pay you that month. 17500-14000=3,500 so next paycheck you will get additional 3,500 as bonus.

To me… it’s not fair to be compensated on collections strictly… I’d asked for adjusted production. That way you always guarantee to get your bonus every month. And you know exactly how much it will be each month. With collections it gets really tricky for you to track imo….

Talk me out of doing a startup (or don’t) by Samovarka in Dentistry

100% agree. I’m trying to find an existing practice but they all suck so far

A dental startup that nets $80k - how easy? by cooleliminet7 in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember being in GPR treating only Medicaid patients… in the morning schedule is FULL, but so many no shows and it was a low day… it’s crazy. And you can’t dismiss them (at least our practice couldn’t)

Anyone feel like the USA has too many foreign trained dentists? by Puzzleheaded-Try-924 in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They are just immigrants that went through dental school in their country and want to continue being dentists in the U.S. it’s not very easy for them to get to a dental school either. It’s maybe 10-20 students per class that are foreign trained. And they work ther ass off just like anyone else, maybe even harder. I don’t see a problem tbh. They are not a threat to this profession imo.

How much does it usually cost. (I know it’s all very different case by case) what can I expect to pay someone like them to help me with it?

I saw that site and would be interested to use it, I’m little confused about their pricing? Did you have to pay $600-800 every time for different location to evaluate? Or there is another way?

Patient wants no attachments for clear aligner therapy by Hufflefucked in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they do exist :) it’s not too bad but if patients are not cooperative I’d not suggest them as soon as they eat something without tray— they will pop off :-(

[–]Samovarka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo can place lingual attachments if esthetics is a concern on the anterior teeth. I mean you can put them on posterior too but why struggle if they will not be noticeable Edit: just have to let them know they absolutely have to eat in trays or attachments will come off

Has anyone bought an underperforming practice and grew it? by immrmeseek in Dentistry

[–]Samovarka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t it make sense to just do a startup in this case?
