How Compensation Evolves in Full Arch Dentistry
How Compensation Evolves in Full Arch Dentistry
Full arch dentistry is becoming a specialized field that offers dentists new opportunities for growth, both clinically and financially. However, as you move into this field, your compensation model also evolves. In Episode 83 of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Stephen Vorholt and Dr. George Hariri explore the key changes in compensation structures when specializing in full arch dentistry.
The Shift from Percentages to Volume-Based Pay
In traditional dental practices, compensation is often tied to a percentage of production. However, in full arch dentistry, the model becomes more complex. As you begin handling higher volumes of surgeries, compensation shifts from a simple percentage to a volume-based system.
High case volume becomes a critical factor. Dentists who specialize in full arch procedures are likely to take on more cases per year, making surgery volume a key indicator of compensation. Practices that handle multiple full arch cases should adjust their compensation models accordingly, considering the increased workload and complexity of these procedures.
Why Volume Matters in Full Arch Dentistry
Full arch dentistry involves more than just the number of surgeries you perform; it’s also about the quality of those surgeries and the time invested. Compensation models evolve as you grow in experience, with factors like hours worked and surgery complexity coming into play. The more surgeries you perform and the more expertise you gain, the greater your compensation potential.
Balancing Workload and Rewards
For practice owners, offering compensation that reflects the workload is essential. Dentists who consistently handle high-volume full arch cases should be rewarded for the value they bring to the practice. This involves not just paying based on percentages but incorporating factors like case volume and patient outcomes into the compensation structure.
How to Evaluate Your Compensation as a Full Arch Dentist
Evaluating your compensation as a full arch dentist involves looking at multiple factors: how many surgeries you perform, the hours you work, and the overall complexity of your cases. If you are working in a high-volume practice, it's essential to ensure that your compensation reflects the time, energy, and expertise you bring to the table.
As full arch dentistry grows in demand, compensation models need to adapt. By focusing on the volume of surgeries and the quality of work, dentists can maximize their financial success in this specialized field.
