David Pier, co-founder of the dental membership company DenVantage, talks with Alex Nottingham, CEO of All-Star Dental Academy, welcomed, about his success with well-designed dental membership plans. David explained that after the 2008 recession, he and his partners knew there had to be a way to stop dentistry from constantly caving to insurance companies and so they looked at membership plans. The problem was that all the plans included deep discounts, so they decided to create a plan that was a benefit to their patients and still profitable for dentists. David will be discussing his membership plans at the All-Star Practice Growth Summit on May 19th and 20th and encourages dentists to learn more about the event at allstardentalacademy.com.
