How to Create a Dental Dream Team
Dr. Jacinta D. Watkins, DDS
A dream team consists of individuals who excel in their specific roles and contribute to the productivity of the entire group. If you want to create a dental dream team that has a lasting impression on your patients and community, here are five steps that can help you get started.
INVEST in your team
The best way to invest in your team is to better understand their needs by asking them the following questions:
- What personal and professional goals would you like to have accomplished by the end of this year?
- What challenges are you facing right now?
- What additional skills would you like to develop that will help the office become a dream team?
Think about how you can reasonably help them achieve their goals and excel in their role. If a team member would like to take an advanced course or certification, the office could provide financial resources to assist them. Investing in your team will create a supportive environment that will be shared with your patients.

Alternatively, the office could allow the team member time off to complete the course. Investing in your team will create a supportive environment that will be shared with your patients.

INVEST in yourself
Enroll in courses that will enhance your management and communication skills so that you can implement effective strategies in directing your team.
As you develop your leadership skills, the team will see the dream of the practice through your clear communication and action oriented goals.

PLAN activities
Incorporating exciting team building activities is a great way to develop a dream team. First communicate with your team to see which activities they would like to participate in. Some team activities to consider are escape rooms, recreational sports and virtual online games.
When the team has an opportunity to collaborate outside of the office setting, the overall cohesiveness of your dream team will become stronger.

SCHEDULE office meetings
When you are building a dream team, communication is critical to creating exceptional results. Daily huddles are an ideal way to communicate about the specific objectives of the day. However, if there are any changes that will impact the overall functions of the practice, an office meeting should be scheduled.
Successful office meetings are longer in duration than daily huddles to provide ample time for discussions and answers to any questions. Be sure to delegate someone to take minutes during the meeting to ensure that everyone is on the same page in case they were absent. When your team communicates the same message consistently, it will create a positive experience for your patients.

SETmonthly goals and incentivize your team
If your productivity goals need to be increased to meet your annual budget projections, let your team know. To enhance the engagement of your team, inform them that if the office reaches its monthly goal, then each member will receive an incentive.
After reaching your monthly target, take out time to celebrate with your team and reflect on what worked well and improvements that could be included for the next month.
