Paul Caselle

Increase productivity by offering a wider range of soft tissue and periodontal procedures. You can do it with greater confidence and increased patient comfort using lasers.

Many dentists are reluctant to offer soft tissue procedures because of anticipated complications. Lasers, however, offer the benefits of less bleeding, less pain, and faster healing than traditional methods. As a general practitioner who has utilized lasers in his own practice for over 10 years, Dr. Paul Caselle will highlight how lasers can be used in the dental setting to enhance the patient experience.

Laser concepts will be covered, including how to get the desired laser tissue interaction to achieve treatment objectives. Examples of everyday procedures you can do in your office will be illustrated so you can comfortably meet your patients’ needs. Dr. Caselle will cover restorative dentistry in multiple quadrants without the need for local anesthesia, soft tissue procedures such as frenectomy, biopsy, venous lake, periodontal treatment including deep pocket therapy with new attachment, as well as crown lengthening. Cases will show usage of the Waterlase iPlus and Epic Diode Laser. In addition, treatment of aphthous ulcers, herpetic lesions and desensitization will be discussed. The attendee will have an understanding of how lasers will increase the value of the patient experience.

Doctors unwittingly assume the team will handle everything in the office according to what they want or need.

However, today’s dental team is constantly called upon to perform more tasks simultaneously. Without effective communication the team becomes a team of “Mind Readers, Miracle Workers, and Magicians”.

This can create uneven performance affecting doctors and other team members’ expectations which may result in a diminished patient experience and less than ideal patient care.

The variety and complexity of dental practice management decisions for the new or experienced owner can be overwhelming and challenging.

By virtue of our training, dentists focus on patient care and very often are not prepared or confident in running a business. As a result, dentists abdicate their responsibility and passively delegate the operation of their office to staff who may not have the skills or knowledge to be effective. This results in management by trial and error which can lead to loss of production, income and stress. Lack of vision, office systems and a plan for the future is no longer an option in today’s changing environment. Creating your prescription for success starts with evaluating the core elements that are crucial to every successful business.
