General practice dentists often follow a philosophy that focuses almost exclusively on teeth, especially when in terms of esthetic treatments.\u00a0 While treatments like whitening and veneers have their place, they are just one aspect of facial esthetics.<\/p>\n
The teeth are only one part of a beautiful smile.\u00a0 That smile also depends on the tissue both in and around the mouth, such as lips, cheeks, chin, jowls, and nasolabial folds.<\/p>\n
BOTOX is the leader in esthetic products, closely followed by products such as JUVEDERM and Restylane.\u00a0 Nearly every popular magazine features celebrities who have had these treatments, as well and whitening and veneers to enhance their appearance.\u00a0 Despite the increasing familiarity with these products, dentists meet with mixed reactions when they offer the procedures as part of their practice.<\/p>\n
Dentists can gauge their patient\u2019s receptiveness to dermal fillers by adding the question \u201cHave you ever had BOTOX or dermal fillers?\u201d to their medical history forms.\u00a0 You might be surprised at the answers.<\/p>\n
BOTOX and related products have becoming increasingly established within the scope of dentistry.\u00a0 The procedures have been found to have a number of useful dental applications beyond facial esthetics, including orofacial pain relief and treatment of bruxism.\u00a0 Your practice can benefit greatly from offering these services as part of your practice.<\/p>\n
There are very good reasons why facial injectable products are a rapidly growing aspect of dentistry.\u00a0 All it takes for many dentists is to crunch the numbers to find they will come out ahead by offering BOTOX and dermal filler products in the office.\u00a0 Getting started is inexpensive and easy.\u00a0 There is no large equipment to buy (or find room for) and no monthly payments.<\/p>\n
The equipment needed to perform these procedures is not expensive, the primary cost comes from the actual pharmaceutical products.\u00a0 It is not necessary to stockpile a huge inventory of these.\u00a0 As soon as you start to run low, you can place your order and have the product in your office as soon as the very next day.<\/p>\n
Getting started with injectables does involve one fairly significant investment, but it is one that will dramatically improve the rest of your career.\u00a0 Before you begin offering BOTOX or dermal fillers in your office, you must first be trained in their use.\u00a0 You didn\u2019t learn how to perform implants or other procedures by just watching a video or reading a book, and injectable procedures are just the same.\u00a0 You need instruction from a skilled provider, training on live patients, a thorough grasp of the products you will be using, knowledge of the anatomy you will treat, and what can and cannot be accomplished with these procedures.<\/p>\n
Training courses involving live patients are now frequently offered at dental meetings.\u00a0 These courses cover all the clinical knowledge needed, including anatomy and physiology and preventing and treating adverse reactions.\u00a0 Course participants are often surprised to find that the BOTOX injections only take a few minutes to administer.\u00a0 Dermal filler procedures can take a little longer, but can still be done in 15 minutes or less.<\/p>\n
Once you have completed training and performed the procedures a few times, you\u2019ll be amazed at just how many of them you can do each week.\u00a0 Do you think you can fit in a few lucrative 5-15 minute procedures into your busy day?\u00a0 I\u2019d be surprised if you couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re probably thinking of all the patients in your practice who don\u2019t want to pay for dental restorations.\u00a0 You would be surprised at how many of those same people will happily pay for facial esthetic treatments.\u00a0 Many patients have opinions that differ from their dentists regarding what procedures are most important, and of course, the patient is the one who chooses which procedures to have, and where to spend their money.\u00a0 However, getting the patient into the office for injectable esthetic or pain treatment makes it much more likely that those patients will then invest a little more in those needed dental procedures.<\/p>\n
Dentistry is the only healthcare profession capable of practicing total facial esthetics because dentists are the only professionals able to treat the teeth along with providing injectable therapies.\u00a0 Because of this unique skillset, dentists have a singular opportunity to offer facial esthetics with dentistry as a single package.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re thinking about incorporating BOTOX and dermal fillers to your practice, there are several different ways to establish fees.\u00a0 Fees can be based on how much product is used, areas of the face to be treated, or a flat rate can be set for total facial esthetics with a smile makeover.<\/p>\n
Depending on how much product you use, areas treated, and whether treatment includes any soft tissue enhancement, patient fees can start at $800 and go all the way to $3,000, and that doesn\u2019t include dental treatments.\u00a0 You can expect to spend anywhere from 5-20 minutes on the procedure and about $100-700 on materials.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t take long for the profit to add up, especially considering how little time is needed to do the procedure.<\/p>\n
Demand for these types of treatments is increasing, and many healthcare professionals are stepping up to meet the demand.\u00a0 If you keep your focus on basic dentistry, you\u2019ll soon fall behind.\u00a0 In the end your patients will appreciate being able to receive comprehensive treatment from someone they already know and trust.<\/p>\n
