Brooke Albright Lecture

 

Course overview

This lecture will address many of the common approaches to patient communication and how to improve those approaches by connecting on an emotional and psychological level. This is a psychologically informed approach helping doctors and treatment teams to understand the needs of patients and provide an experience that meets or exceeds patients’ expectations. This is both relevant and imperative to increasing case acceptance.

Learning objectives

After the program the participant will:

  • Understand why patients say “No” to treatment.
  • Discover how to use open- vs. close-ended questions to connect with patients.
  • Comprehend patient expectations vs. experience.
  • Improve consultations and treatment presentations.
  • Comprehend insurance-minded patients and acquire skills to overcome barriers to treatment.

We will also discuss alternative options using graftless solutions:

  • Diagnosis and treatment planning the terminal dentition or edentulous patient
  • The Pro Arch treatment concept as a graftless alternative

Module 2 Treatment planning and restoring the single anterior dental implant
Module 3 Treatment planning and restoring multiple dental implants in a partially edentulous

What Our Patients Say About Us

Even our patients who have been told in the past that they are not good candidates for dental implants have found options at our clinic.

  • Mindy W.

    This is a very welcoming center. Everyone seemed very competent and helpful. I had an oral biopsy today. No waiting. The staff were ready for me and all was in place. Dr. Yagoubian was warm , cheerful and I felt in extremely capable hands. I am so grateful I was referred to him. Sincerely, Mindy W.

  • Raj G.

    Dr. Yagoubian is excellent. I was in state for business when my wisdom tooth broke. I was lucky enough to find Dr. Yagoubian's office. Everyone there was professional and courteous. The procedure went smoothly. Dr. Y is highly skilled, meticulous, and a very personable health care provider (a rarity in the field, in my opinion). If you need an oral surgeon, I highly recommend him.

  • Chahab S.

    Dr Yagoubian is an excellent oral surgeon, supported by a very professional staff. They made the experience as stress-free as possible. Highly recommended.

  • Paul M.

    A positive experience from start to end. I got a sense that this was going to go well and it did. Two extractions, two implants, bone graft and removal of four part bridge. Leaving part of the bridge on one tooth. If there were 10stars they would be for Torrance oral surgery group and Dr. Alicia Wolf / Blanco Demtal Group for recommending Ben.
