PRACTICE DIFFERENTIATION
Stand Out In A Sea of Mediocrity and
Engage Your Community to Grow Your Practice
Orthodontists today are experiencing increased competition due to a growing number of factors - more grads,
more dentists doing ortho and clear aligners, increased efficiency which results in more patients per office and
fewer orthodontists retiring, just to name a few.
In this course, you’ll learn key elements to help you stand out and grow your practice despite the factors above and
many others. Learn how to:
• Set yourself apart from other practices by creating an exceptional patient experience every visit
• Educate your patients and community to establish a relationship of trust
• Use marketing the right way – tell patients what’s in it for THEM
• Use flexible financing to attract patients outside your usual demographic
BEN BURRIS, DDS, MDS
None can deny that Dr. Burris continues to change the conversation
in dentistry - especially in orthodontics.
Burris is a doer with an uncanny eye for finding opportunities to
improve and an unflinching resolve to pursue and implement positive
change above all else. Dr. Burris graduated from The Citadel, in
Charleston, SC, with a BS in Biology prior to receiving his DDS from
the University of Tennessee - Health Science Center’s College of
Dentistry in 2001 where he then completed his orthodontic residency
and received his MDS in 2004.
