What if one podcast episode could help you lock in your high-converting case acceptance?
In this value-packed conversation, dental consultant and coach Sophia Dunkley reveals how to turn treatment plans into “yeses” by building trust, training your team, and transforming how case acceptance is handled from chair to front desk.
In this episode of Dental Office Rescue, host Linda Kane and The Practice Navigator jump into the systems, scripts, and mindset shifts that help dental practices close more treatment—and stop leaving revenue on the table.
Here's what we cover:
- Why treatment acceptance should start in the chair, not at the front desk
- The 5 silent objections patients have (and how to overcome them)
- How to improve clinical-to-front handoffs and avoid trust breakdowns
- The verbal skills every team member should know to close confidently
- What scrubs should—and shouldn’t—say about money
- Why team alignment is your greatest asset in growing treatment revenue
