In this episode, I share the importance of guiding patients toward case acceptance before overwhelming them with treatment details. Often, young doctors and new associates make the mistake of diving into the who, what, why, and how of treatment before patients have even agreed to move forward, which can feel more like sales than patient care. We need to know the value of presenting clear options first and waiting for the patient to commit before offering detailed explanations. By shifting this approach, dentists can build stronger patient relationships and improve treatment acceptance rates.

Who is Dr. Sully Sullivan?
Dr. Sully is a fourth-generation dentist from Nashville, Tn. After receiving his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Tennessee, he moved back to Nashville to practice with his father. By continuing to invest in his education through adult orthodontics, soft tissue grafting, dental implants, third molar extractions, and obstructive sleep apnea, he helped double his practice in just 24 months.
As a millennial, he truly believes in working smarter not harder, which has led him to utilize technology to not only deliver better patient care but more efficient care. Dr. Sullivan regularly uses CEREC, 3D imaging with Galileos, 3D printing, and multiple lasers. In addition to his practice, he started the Millennial Dentist Podcast in February of 2017 to help push his fellow colleagues to take their dental careers to the next level. Dr. Sully lectures around the country on cone beam technology, cad/cam dentistry, obstructive sleep apnea, and practice management. He is also an ambassador for the 3D-Dentist teaching facility in Raleigh, NC.
