From Classroom to Clinic: Dr. Rick Myron's Journey with PRF: Part 2
Manage episode 489155327 series 3577114
Ready to transform your dental practice into a facial aesthetics powerhouse? This eye-opening conversation reveals how implant dentists are perfectly positioned to tap into the $120 billion facial aesthetics industry—a market 24 times larger than implant dentistry itself.
Dr. Soren Paape and Dr. Tyler Tolbert explore how incorporating PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) treatments can create substantial recurring revenue streams while delivering exceptional results for patients. The discussion unveils the stark contrast between one-time implant cases versus aesthetic patients who typically spend $3,000 annually on treatments, returning every 4-6 months like clockwork.
The conversation takes a fascinating technical turn with the introduction of the "PRF poncho technique"—a game-changing approach that dramatically reduces bacterial infiltration around implants. Learn how this simple yet powerful method creates a protective barrier of leukocyte-rich fibrin that significantly improves long-term implant success rates, especially for immediate placements.
Dental professionals will appreciate the detailed breakdown of PRF processing protocols, including critical insights about tube surface properties, oxygen exposure, and temperature control. The experts share practical tips for optimizing PRF quality, avoiding common mistakes, and efficiently integrating these services into your existing practice flow.
Perhaps most compelling is how these regenerative treatments can be partially delegated to trained dental assistants who are already comfortable with blood and sterile procedures. This creates new career advancement pathways for team members while maximizing practice productivity.
Have you considered how adding facial aesthetics could revolutionize your implant practice? Could the skills you already possess be worth considerably more in this expanding field? Listen now to discover if this could be your practice's next evolution.
