Elevate your dental practice with our dynamic course on utilizing and implementing an Expanded Function Dental Assistant (EFDA). As the dental landscape evolves, integrating an EFDA can significantly enhance patient care, improve workflow efficiency, and optimize team performance. This course provides dental professionals with essential knowledge and practical strategies for effectively incorporating EFDAs into their practices. Through hands-on training, collaborative discussions, and real-life scenarios, you'll gain the tools necessary to maximize the potential of your EFDA, ensuring a seamless transition that benefits both your team and your patients. 

Key Objectives for Implementing & Utilizing an EFDA in a Dental Practice: 

  • Maximize Revenue Through Expanded Services: Understand how to effectively leverage the expanded skill set of EFDAs to offer additional services, thereby increasing production numbers and enhancing overall profitability. 
  • Optimize Dental Coding and Billing Practices: Learn to accurately code procedures performed by EFDAs, ensuring proper billing and reimbursement while minimizing errors that could lead to revenue loss. 
  • Implement Scheduling Structures: Develop a comprehensive scheduling structure that recognizes the contributions of EFDAs, promoting procedure timing, likes/dislikes of providers, recognizing strengths & weaknesses for the daily office workflow, ensuring a seamless productive day that keeps the team morale up.  

By focusing on these objectives, your practice can enhance profitability and improve operational efficiency
