Advanced Case Acceptance: Presenting Treatment Options

How to present options so patients choose the treatment that truly serves their long-term health

Course Description

A dental practice is not a fast-food counter where patients point at a “menu item” based on preference or price.

It’s a doctor–patient relationship:

  • You diagnose based on clinical findings

  • You recommend based on what’s best for their health and long-term outcome

Yes, patients should be given treatment options. But how those options are presented determines whether they truly understand the differences—or default to the cheapest, quickest, or least effective route.

This course shows you how to present treatment options in a way that:

  • Makes every option clear and easy to understand

  • Builds real value in the ideal recommendation

  • Helps patients choose the plan that best serves their health—not just what feels easiest in the moment

You’ll learn how to balance ethical responsibility with powerful communication, so you can still be the doctor (not a “menu reader”) while guiding patients toward the option that will actually solve their problem.

Course Objectives

  • Guide the conversation more effectively during treatment presentations so patients feel informed, not pressured.

  • Work collaboratively with patients to help them commit to the ideal treatment plan, not just the bare minimum.

  • Regain your satisfaction as a doctor by consistently recommending—and delivering—what you know is best for your patients.
