Online Patient Forms
Do you find your patients spending half of their appointment time filling out paperwork? Sometimes it is illegible, takes a long time, or they just aren't sure on things? Well Sesame has the answer!
Once you take this class, you will be able to customize patient forms in your Sesame Control Panel and launch them to your website immediately, as well as make changes to it 24/7 without having to print anything off. The completed forms will be submitted automatically online and stored in your Sesame Control Panel, so you can check insurance benefits ahead of time allowing more exact estimates when presenting treatment, and have all patient information in the computer when the patient walks in the door.
The first half of this class will show you how to customize and edit the forms, and during the second half you will be editing your own and have the instructor right there for any questions you may have. As soon as you finish this class, forms will be available to go live on your site at your discretion.

Is your practice kind of tired or a thoroughbred racing to ever higher levels of quality and productivity? Do you limp along day to day and year to year doing the same old thing or are you at the leading edge of technology and systems in search of exceptional performance? Do you run on time every moment of every day, or do you muddle through not understanding what went wrong today that caused you to get hopelessly behind? Is going to work fun for you and your team…or is it just a job? Are you growing or declining? Are you working more hours than you want and feeling trapped by circumstance?
What you get from your practice is what you put into it! If you’re fed up with the state of your practice (or your life) this is the course you have been looking for. Dr. Sellke is a wet fingered, board certified orthodontist who has been teaching practice management for over 30 years.

Your listening skills, body language cues, dress, and environment can make all the difference.
In this one hour Webinar, Suzanne will review the keys to making a great impression visually, through your presentation, clothing choices, and eye contact, as well as your body language. This Webinar will give you a set of concrete action steps that will improve your one-on-one communications as well as your group presentations.

• The choreography of case acceptance.
• The consult - location and materials.
• The attire and grooming of your dental team.
