Does this smile look familiar?

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Gold Dust Dental Lab

It could be the smile of one of your dental team. If so, what’s the problem?

Many people might evaluate this smile and say it looks nice. Her teeth are more or less in alignment, from distance her teeth look pretty straight. But the truth is your patients do not evaluate their smiles in their dental office from distance … they are close, oh so close when discussing, treating and caring for your patients. Does your team members reflect the true quality of the dentistry you do???? It may be sensitive question but a reality when it comes to what is your patient’s perception.

The best marketing tool you have is the 3rd party endorsement… someone else who accepted treatment, who can speak to the experience. Your team members are some of the most powerful marketers in your practice if positioned properly. They can talk to your patients about their experience with anesthesia, provisionals, cementation, what they eat, how they care for their teeth and the like. It’s this bridge to your patients that is built and solidifies their own treatment recommendation.

Take an inventory on the team members who interact with your patients daily. Is this the finest example of what you do in your practice?

We recently completed this 20 unit minimal prep Empress Esthetic case, in partnership with Spring House PA cosmetic dentist Dr. Josh Stelzer, on a key team member of his clinical team. He presented a full mouth rehabilitation case this morning. Coincidence? Even he doesn’t think so.

Battle of Bonds at 3M’s Dental Thinktank with Dentaltown clinicians (left to right) Dr. Tim Goodheart, Dr. Rich Rosenblatt, Dr. Mike Barr and Dr. Mike Colleran.

 

Last weekend Gold Dust was privileged to be invited to a 3M dental “think tank” with some terrific educators on Dentaltown.com. The group was hosted by Peter Golden and John Stefanick of 3M ESPE Dental, and organized by Dental Town,  to provide research and introduce what’s the latest and greatest, in the area of digital impressioning, a new value based line called “Paradigm” in the composite and VPS material categories, mini implants and some new materials coming down the line .

As a company, the culture in committed to collaboration across all of it’s divisions. It is a little known fact, that 25% of the earth’s population comes in contact with a 3M manufactured product everyday. This company’s vision in supporting dental educators is second to none, with a proactive approach in directly connecting with it’s customers.   The days were packed with a ton of information, hands on “Battle of the Bonds” and hands on use of C.O.S. We met with research and development teams, product managers, trainers and industry professionals to provide feedback as well as discuss emerging markets in dentistry and benefit from a great deal of 3M’s massive research into the marketplace.

The most rewarding part of the visit was the camaraderie and insights of the clinicians that attended including Dr. Mike Barr, Dr. Tim Burke, Dr. Mike Colleran, Dr. Tom Giacobbi, Dr. Tim Goodheart Dr. Howard Goldstein, and Dr. Rich Rosenblatt. We enjoyed a night at the Twins baseball game courtesy of the 3M group and really enjoyed socializing with the whole group.

Gold Dust has always been recognized as a cutting edge cosmetic dental laboratory and to be invited to participate in this 2 day event was a great privilege. This type of event is another way that Gold Dust continues to be a resource for their clients as well as maintaining the edge in industry knowledge, training and support.

Sarah Palin, Gold Dust’s Newest Neighbor?

Posted on June 13, 2011 by gddAdmin

The Atlantic Wire reports the former governor of Alaska allegedly bought an 8,000-square foot, $1.6 million home in a secluded area of Scottsdale, Arizona. The identity of the buyer is hidden on the property records, but the lawyer for the sale suspiciously replied “No comment!” when asked if the buyer was Palin. The property reportedly features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a swimming pool and spa, a six-car garage, a wine cellar, and a guard gate. Speculation is running wild in the media that Arizona would be a perfect headquarters for the Presidential campaign in 2012. No official announcement has been made.

Regardless of your political persuasion, it sounds like an ideal place for our next Gold Dust Focus Group meeting!!! Stay tuned.
