Bad investments are everywhere. Nine-unit bridges. Dental therapy programs. Wiring money to Nigerian princes. Investment decisions require an understanding of “return on investment.” What can be gained (or lost) relative to the amount of money invested?
Dentists and patients have return on investment (ROI) conversations every day when discussing treatment options. I know my patients appreciate a doctor who’s mindful of ROI and responsibly uses dental dollars. Dentists also think about ROI when purchasing equipment and supplies. Can new technology improve patient care and still make economic sense? Are we getting the best bang for our buck?
Allow me to recommend a great investment–the Wisconsin Dental Association. In return for annual membership dues, WDA members get a dedicated staff, an expert advocacy team in Madison, a hotline to answer all dental practice questions, continuing education, a handy suite of publications, advertising campaigns across all media platforms and discounts on over 30 WDA-endorsed services and solutions for all aspects of your career.
I can assure you the ROI is high for every member, and higher still for those who take full-advantage. Are you getting the maximum return on your WDA investment?
In particular, the WDA will help you save today with its newest offerings:
WDA Equipment Solutions – Equipment ordering through an easy-to-use online platform, including transparent pricing. You get the discount and our association gets a bonus.
I have personally used WDA Equipment Solutions during some recent renovations and they have been great to work with. They are flexible and happy to work with me to make existing equipment last. What I like best is the whole-office comprehensive preventative program. I’m taking the advice I give to patients and focusing on prevention rather than waiting for something to break. Think ROI!
WDA Supply Source– Pay less, in some cases 20 percent less for the most common supplies you’re buying. Prompt, free shipping and plenty of name brands available. Again, you get the discount and our association gets a bonus.
