Описание: In this episode of The No BS Dental Growth Podcast, Chris sits down with Dr. Desiree Yazdan to break down what really drives case acceptance, patient trust, and long-term practice growth.

From cosmetic dentistry and patient education to building a powerful personal brand online, Dr. Yazdan shares practical strategies that any dentist can implement immediately.

If you’ve ever struggled with treatment acceptance, anxious patients, or staying consistent on social media — this episode is packed with insight.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🦷 Balancing Cosmetic Dentistry with Long-Term Oral Health

Dr. Yazdan explains why cosmetic patients often take better care of their teeth — and how education is the key to protecting long-term outcomes. She also shares why many patients are unknowingly using the wrong tools and products.

💻 The Technology That Changed Her Practice

Two investments made a major difference:

Switching to a cloud-based practice management system

Implementing an intraoral scanner for better patient visualization

She explains how these tools improved efficiency, communication, and case acceptance — and why visual education is so powerful.

😬 Managing Dental Anxiety to Improve Case Acceptance

Anxiety is often the real objection behind hesitation.

Dr. Yazdan shares:

Why dental fear is a learned behavior

How to “start small” with anxious patients

Why curiosity beats pressure when patients don’t book treatment

How to uncover the true objection (not just the surface excuse)

Her mindset: If a patient is in your chair, they want help — your job is to guide them through fear.

📈 The Truth About Social Media Growth for Dentists

Dr. Yazdan built her brand by posting consistently for an entire year before seeing real traction.

Key takeaways:

Know exactly who your ideal patient is

Speak to ONE specific person

Stop worrying about vanity metrics

“The lurkers are always buying”

Many patients who never like, follow, or comment are still watching — and eventually booking.

🎥 What Type of Content Works Best?

Authority-building content wins.

Longer captions, educational videos, and deeper explanations build trust — even if they get fewer views. The goal isn’t virality. It’s credibility.

She also emphasizes:

Your content should attract AND repel

Criticism often means you’re not talking to your ideal audience

Consistency compounds like interest in a bank

Why This Episode Matters

Dentistry isn’t just clinical anymore.

Success comes from:

Clear communication

Patient education

Emotional intelligence

Smart technology adoption

Consistent authority-building online

Dr. Yazdan proves that long-term brand growth and strong clinical care can absolutely go hand-in-hand.
