Dental office design is about much more than how many ops you have and where they go. Each element, from reception through checkout, must relate to the others in a way that increases work-flow efficiency and puts your patients at ease. It’s remarkably easy to screw this up! This webinar will touch on the basics of how smarter office design can improve your practice productivity while increasing patient retention… two pillars that drive revenue and profits.

Course Objectives

• What you see is NOT what your patients see.

• What you can do today to increase performance tomorrow

Dr. David Ahearn

Dr. David Ahearn’s two dental offices rank among the nation’s most productive. An early drive to create more productive and efficient practice environments led him to research the Toyota Production System and LEAN manufacturing principles. Subsequently, he founded Design/Ergonomics, the nation’s largest independent dental office design firm, and Ergonomic-Products, a manufacturer of high-productivity dental equipment.

Dr. Ahearn has held faculty positions at the University of Michigan and NYU’s College of Dentistry, and was a founding member of the ADA's Ergonomics Subcommittee. He is a frequent lecturer and author of multiple chapters in the ADA’s current Practical Guide to Dental Office Design.
