Testimonials
"Becoming a member of the St. Louis Dental Connection (an AADOM DPLN) has been an incredible asset to me. The top-notch training sessions and extensive resources have significantly improved our operations. I am so happy they opened the membership up to Specialty Practices. Beyond that, the opportunity to bond with other office managers who face the same challenges has been invaluable. Sharing experiences and solutions with peers who truly understand our unique obstacles has not only strengthened my skills but also provided a strong support network. Joining the St. Louis Dental Connection is a must for any dental office looking to thrive."

"St. Louis Dental Connection has brought a new motivation in my office management career! Navigating the dental field as a front office team member has always been a lone endeavor. It is refreshing and necessary to have a place to gain insight and advice from a peer group of brilliant professionals. This group invests in developing leaders by providing the answers to our questions, application of new ways of thinking in our field, and guidance to reach new goals for our doctors. Meetings are packed full of topics that can immediately be utilized in the practice and the events feature the achievers amongst us. So thrilled to have this local chapter in St. Louis!"

Is our membership worth the investment?
We turn dental practice managers into dental practice ROCKSTARS.
There are so many advantages well-supported administrators can bring to your practice:
Dentists can focus on dentistry rather than the business, admin, and marketing side of the practice.
You can feel confident that your dental practice manager and admin team can implement new procedures and best practices to improve your bottom line.
Your dental practice has a trained expert who is up-to-date on current legislation, insurance, marketing practices, and more.
See improved patient recall, patient satisfaction, and efficiency at your office.
