Lyschik Ray Bryant PHOTOGRAPHY Special Issue 2014 Publishers Column Welcome to the North Texas Dentistry Special Issue for 2014, Inside the Exceptional Practice, Gearing Up for Success! We had such positive feedback to the 2012 Special Issue we decided it was time to present an updated version with a new twist to the inter workings of a successful dental practice. Tina Cauller WRITING / DESIGN During the current economic climate dental practices can no longer operate on autopilot and new approaches and ideas are necessary to create the “exceptional” practice. Like a well-oiled machine many different elements must work together to be successful. The individuals and companies selected by dentists to assist and guide them are of utmost importance. Quality and expertise in their field is imperative. The Special Issue presents leading dental industry professionals through compelling editorial, Q & A Profiles and print advertising. The guide is divided in four sections: Facility Factors, The Cutting Edge, Running it Right and The Bottom Line. So no matter if you are considering a new office and equipment, concerned about your investments, retirement and selling your practice, or want your office to run as smoothly as possible both clinically and administratively, there is something of interest for you. Check out the inside front and back covers as North Texas Dentistry is pleased to spotlight two specialty dental groups, Archpoint Implant Dentistry and Modern Texas Dental Specialties in addition to the industry professionals. We are excited to once again share this handbook with the senior dental students at Baylor College of Dentistry. It should offer valuable knowledge and insight to their future dental careers. Enjoy this Special Issue! It was a pleasure to produce and I enjoyed working with many “SPECIAL” professionals in the North Texas dental community. Keep smiling and have a great day!
