Dentists Report the Value of a New Dentures Patient

January 8, 2013 By Jim Du Molin Leave a Comment

Dentists Report the Value of a New Dentures Patient The latest The Wealthy Dentist survey reveals that the average gross production of a new dentures patient in the first 9 months of treatment in 2012 was $3,790.

Suburban dentists reported the higher production figures reporting amounts between $5,000 – $8,000.

Currently, there is much speculation among dental educators that the need for complete dentures will decline markedly in the future and that complete denture training should be removed from the dental curriculum.

Estimates based on national epidemiologic survey data indicate that edentulism has declined by 10% every decade and that 90% of edentulous adults obtain and wear complete dentures. (Source: U.S. National Library of Medicine)

However, when the number of adults in each specific age group is multiplied by the percentage who need a complete maxillary or mandibular denture, the results suggest that the adult population in need of 1 or 2 complete dentures will increase from 33.6 million adults in 1991 to 37.9 million adults in 2020. The 10% decline in edentulism experienced each decade for the past 30 years will be more than offset by the 79% increase in the adult population older than 55 years.

In this survey, general dentists report average production profits between $1,000 and $8,000 for new dentures patients, while prosthodontists average $4,500.

One dentist responded, “While a set of dentures is $5000 most patients in my practice are either overdenture or implant retained. I rarely edentulate a patient but will frequently make interim overdentures with locators as the first step of extensive treatment plans.”

Turnkey Denture Patient Acquisition With New IDA Dental Marketing Websites

September 23, 2012 By Audre Hill Leave a Comment

Strategic dental marketing is a necessity for every practice that wants to see new dentures patients every month. Internet Dental Alliance, Inc. (IDA) provides marketing packages that feature turnkey dental websites that automatically generate leads by attracting consumers searching online for information about the cost of dentures, denture repair, denture care or related topics.

Rather than providing generic dental marketing websites that function like an online business card, IDA New Patient Portals are designed to be more like in-depth online brochures. Dentists can educate patient prospects about prosthodontics, publicize their education and skills, promote their practices and generate new patient leads all in one place.

“IDA New Patient Portals are at the heart of our turnkey New Patient Marketing Machine™ lead generation system for dentists,” explains Jim Du Molin, founder of Internet Dental Alliance, Inc. and dental marketing expert. “Our dental websites are designed accomplish two goals – attract the kinds of prospects that will make your practice thrive, and convert them into patients in your chair.”

Many dentists who provide denture care offer more than just that one service, based on their additional clinical skills. For example, it’s not uncommon for doctors to offer prosthodontic services within a general or family practice, or to offer implant dentistry, sedation dentistry or gum disease treatments. From a business perspective, it makes sense to build a practice around patients who are looking for those specific clinical skills.

IDA’s dental marketing strategy uses multiple Portals — one for each dental market a practice wants to target. The turnkey New Patient Marketing Machine ™ simplifies lead generation for practices that want to find new patients looking for their specific clinical skills.

Do Denture Patients Have Realistic Expectations? (video)

August 7, 2012 By Jim Du Molin Leave a Comment

Dentures are a cost-effective solution for replacing lost teeth.

Dentures can be great, but they are not magic, a fact often overlooked by quite a few denture patients.

The Wealthy Dentist conducted a survey that asked dentists if denture patients have realistic expectations of dentures.

“No matter how much you tell them how difficult it’s going to be, they still don’t get it,” responded one dentist.

According to statistics, over 35 million Americans wear dentures. The most satisfied denture patients are those with good fitting dentures free of pain and a smile that looks natural.

This survey revealed that fully 5 out of 6 dentists find that denture patients expect dentures to be easier than they actually are.
