063: Dental Insights From The Land Of Kiwis



itunes-podcast

 

 

063-sky-towerWelcome to another episode of The Dentalpreneur Podcast. Today Dr. Aaron Nicholas and I are coming to you from Pog Mahone’s Irish Pub in Queenstown, New Zealand.

This week Dr. Aaron Nicholas and I presented at the Dental Success Summit International 2016 – Auckland, N.Z. (along with Dr. Jason Lowry). Aaron and I chat about the more notable differences between dentistry in New Zealand and the United States, what we learned and what we were able to share with the doctor’s and staff that attended the Summit. We discuss the most distinctive contrast, that New Zealand dentistry is not an insurance based industry. New Zealand dental offices are fee-for-service practices. We examine the difference a cash based practice has on patient expectations of service and desire to, or consideration of lowering overhead expenses. As a last remaining example of profitable fee-for-service dentistry, New Zealand has been a glimpse into what the “golden era” of what dentistry might have been like in the United States.
