Quality, Service, and Price: the “Unattainable Triangle” of Advertising and Marketing

We have all heard the references to quality, service, and price. The sciences of advertising and marketing explain that it is impossible to provide all three at the same time. Let’s explore this a bit. Let’s look at McDonald’s for instance. McDonald’s provides fast food very quickly at a fairly reasonable price; based on this principle it may be the quality of the food that is less than the other two measures of service and price. A contrasting example could be Starbuck’s coffee. At Starbuck’s they known for high quality coffee drinks provided quickly and kindly; based on this triangle these drinks

Our Unique Dental Practice

Dentistry As a Job or As a Retirement Activity? I started my career as a dentist in 1986. It is a career I had considered since I was four years old. The idea of becoming a dentist was always there. Beginning in high school, I took my academics quite seriously and did all I could to “pad” my resume to assure my admittance into dental school. On an October afternoon in 1981, I received in the mail my admittances to all three Texas dental schools to which I had applied. That day for me was one of my happiest; it

Conservative vs. Aggressive

Is Your Dentist Too Conservative or Too Aggressive? For many professions and service providers, one decides how conservative or aggressive they are going to be in making recommendations. For instance, if you are getting your car fixed, the auto mechanic may list all those things that are not perfect. He may even recommend that all these things be addressed in some way. Another auto mechanic may recommend only fixing those things that may become a major issue or a safety issue within the next few months. Yet another mechanic may only address your main concern. The level of conservatism or

Dental Insurance Plans

I understand patients want to take advantage of their dental insurance plans. I do understand patients want to prevent spending money unnecessarily. I do empathize with you. Truly I do. For all my life I wanted to be a dentist. I want to help people. I want to help people from all walks of life. I do not want to treat only those considered rich. I want to be able to treat most everyone. However, I also want to provide very good care. I want to provide very honest care. I want to provide care that is in every way

Some Assurance on Dental Insurance

Before we initiate any treatment, we work very hard to explain treatment options along with their advantages and disadvantages. Following that, we present to our patients the fees, as well as our estimate of how insurance may pay as well. In that way patients have an estimate of their out-of-pocket dental expense. While we work very hard to make these estimates accurate, dental offices at this time still cannot have instant access to the databases of individual insurance carriers for determination of benefits. As a result, we may only provide good faith estimates for which we cannot be held accountable. We do the best any dental practice can

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom Teeth Extractions During Summer Break As we near the beginning of summer, many students are earning their summer breaks. As many students are back home and have less in the way of commitments, it is a popular time to pursue wisdom teeth extractions if recommended. These extractions are recommended for those who do not have adequate space in their mouths for these extra molars or for those whose wisdom teeth are growing in at an angle. Experience and research indicate that the best time to have these extractions done is between the ages of 18-22. We are very fortunate

Root Canals

Mitch Moreland of the MLB Texas Rangers Needed a Root Canal In the summer of 2012 the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball missed their first baseman Mitch Moreland for a few games due to his need to obtain root canal treatment on a front tooth. Mitch may have been suffering from moderate to severe pain over the affected tooth, he may have had swelling within the gum in the same area, or his tooth could have been very sensitive to biting pressure, hot, or cold. These symptoms may occur when a tooth has deep decay, when a tooth has a history

Porcelain Laminate Veneers

Beautiful Porcelain Veneers We recently replaced a set of 15 year-old veneers on this valued patient. While the veneers had very little wrong as far as fit and decay, our patient desired a nicer esthetic result. Our patient informed us that the previous dentist did not allow viewing the veneers prior to having them bonded. The patient was looking for a different result. Our patient felt there was nothing that could be done once they had been completed. Well, after 15 years our kind patient decided that it was time to replace the existing veneers. We allowed our loyal patient to be involved in the design
