Dental Team Culture Club and Systems Training
Dental team culture is a shared approach to work based on beliefs, values, and attitudes. In a nutshell, the culture is simply “how you do things at work”. It highlights what’s most important to a practice and impacts every part of your success.
Our culture club teaches dental teams how to implement specific communication techniques that naturally create a culture of effective communication. In addition, these skills will allow your team members to better connect with patients. Teams enrolled in our ongoing team culture workshops have experienced a significant increase in case acceptance, positive attitudes, and productivity.
Here are just a few benefits of enrolling in our culture club program:
- Effective Communication: Team members that communicate well are 92% more successful than those that lack effective communication skills.
- Engaged Team Members: Employees invested in the practice get better results and are often more productive and efficient. Engaged team members are motivated and enjoy the office environment.
- Reduce Turnover: Engaged employees are less likely to search for a new job, reducing recruiting and hiring costs.
- Improved Collaboration: An effective team culture provides connections and outlets for employees to work together to solve problems.
- Increased Productivity: Employees who care about the company, its culture, and its purpose are often more productive, allowing you to conduct more business without hiring more people. In addition, they learn skills to elevate every aspect of the patient experience including: the initial call, clinical hand-offs, treatment planning and case acceptance, and insurance verbiage.
- Opportunities for Innovation: Productive, collaborative employees come up with new ideas and often make them happen. This kind of innovation helps push your team and your business forward.
DISC Assessments
At Team Culture Works, we use DISC assessments to help identify team members’ unique behavior tendencies. These assessments provide a laser-focused method for quickly achieving deeper insights that might otherwise take months or years to bring to light. Assessments can yield considerable gains in self-awareness and self-perception that an individual can use to better understand themselves and others.
The DISC assessment is composed of scientifically formulated questions that provide an accurate description of an individual’s strengths, limitations, and workplace preferences. Once completed, a 52-page report is generated and privately shared with the individual. The DISC assessment tools have been used by more than 40 million people to improve the work environment, get more done and reduce stress.

Dental Team Systems Training Workshops:
Dental Team Culture simply means the “way your team does things”. Our systems training workshops offer the skills, knowledge, and tools to create a better “way of doing things”. The goal during each training course is to teach your team how to master these skills in an effort to elevate the patient experience while growing the practice the RIGHT way. Each workshop is approx. 2-4 hours and can be added into the culture club program.

Being able to efficiently identify the behavioral styles of others, empowers professionals with the insights to adapt their communicative “selling style” to meet the communicative “buying style” of their patient.
