3 Big Mistakes Most Dentists Make When they Consider 3D Printing

Some of the things dentists rave over as they add 3D Printing to their practice are really cool, but don't exactly move the needle when it comes to ROI.
Then, there are a small few that pay the way for everything else the super techy nerd gene that all dentists have (myself included).
Today we're going to talk about the procedures that will pay off your initial investment the fastest.
After you pay that off, you will have a lot of choices on what to do with the profit.
One of the best things I have seen is to lower your fees to patients so that both you and your patients have a big win from this.
Plus, you will be securing your practice by insourcing at a time when sending out labwork can be dicey to say the least.

You're busy. We're all busy. But...

Still, if there was a way to improve your practice overall while securing your practice in the case that we MIGHT have a recession.
Well, that's what I call a no-brainer.
