Teaser: Are people willing to pay for mentorship? Okay. And actually, I think it was very validating because this is already happening in the implant space to a very big degree. Like, okay, I don't know the details there. Maybe you guys do.
[Jaz]But if you're someone who's learning to place implants, though, your first X number of implants, you're probably going to make a loss on because you're going to buy all the stuff, buy all the kit, give up your clinical time, but all the fee that your patients paying you, you're pretty much paying to your mentor. And so that's a huge investment in yourself, but the ROI is exponential.
[Damian]So there's only one way to learn these cases, which is you need someone holding your hand until that confidence builds. So yes, you may lose a little bit of money, lose a bit of time in the early days. But it's all going to come back in a full circle and that confidence and that money will return.
Jaz's Introduction:Protruserati, I'm going to say it how it is. Mentorship is the number one thing you need to excel and grow as a dentist. It's more important than courses. The courses are important because they give you the skills. They give you the knowledge. But you know when you get stuck? At the point of application.
That's when we bounce ideas off each other, even like basic stuff, like should I extract this tooth on this patient on that medication? And thankfully with the Protrusive Guidance app and having a community of practice and like minded individuals, we can help each other. But sometimes you just need in depth help, like someone to just hold your hand and talk you through exactly how to solve a problem or a case.
