Grounded in evidence-based motivational research and shared decision-making models, attendees will learn to build trust, frame options ethically and guide patients toward informed acceptance without pressure. Blending peer reviewed dental literature with classic communication texts, this course provides clinicians and team members with actionable chairside strategies to improve case acceptance, strengthen relationships and produce measurable practice outcomes.
