Restorative Schedule: Our Production Goal
Know Your Monthly Production Goal
The first step in reaching your goal is to know your goal. It may sound silly, but it all starts here. And we want to use the restorative schedule as the machine to reach that goal. Begin with the end in mind. And then set the plan on how to get there.
Know what your monthly goal is, and then each month convert that monthly goal into a daily goal. Then we create the restorative block schedule that will enable the team to reach the daily goal each day.
Some months may be shorter than others, and the daily goal must be adjusted accordingly. There may be months when there are vacations or unexpected closures. And when we have advance notice, we can adjust before and after. When we are surprised, then we must begin again. Our best frame of mind, is always to begin again!

Balance Is Key
Patient care is your focus in the dental office. In addition, there are overhead costs that must be paid.
Learning to balance patient needs and office needs is necessary for everyone’s well-being and happiness.
Sometimes you have to make a judgement call that may not see to be in the best interest of the office. When in doubt, lean on the side of what the patient needs.
When you are meeting patient needs, the rest will follow.
However, balance this! It is a skill that must be mastered.
