Elevate Your Practice with Spear All Access

When Dr. Vishal Sharma was earlier in his dental career, there just wasn’t a cohesive educational program that covered all aspects of dentistry. To find the guidance he needed, he hired consultants who focused on various areas of the practice and took CE courses from different institutions—an approach that many dentists take, but one that can get costly over time.

Spear has changed that with Spear All Access, giving dentists the comprehensive, cost-effective education they need to be successful.

Dr. Sharma, who is now Spear’s Vice President of Education & Operations, describes Spear All Access as a one-stop shop for education that’s geared toward doctors “looking to go from good to great.” Through this membership option, clinicians have unlimited access to all structured Spear programs, including workshops, seminars, and Spear Online, as well as an adjacent track for team members. Members also gain access to analytics powered by Dental Intelligence, as well as personalized practice growth coaching.

“Spear All Access is an integrated growth system for dentists who really want to build a high-performance practice,” Dr. Sharma said. “It’s an opportunity for dentists to have one system for clinical excellence, team competency, and business growth.”

Aligning Your Team

Spear has been in the education space for a long time, Dr. Sharma said, and “understands education can’t be siloed.”  To be effective, it must be comprehensive and include an aligning element for the team.

Involving the team is critical; otherwise, when dentists return from a weekend workshop, they’re the only ones carrying the enthusiasm to incorporate what they’ve learned. Team members also need that external motivation, Dr. Sharma said.

“To change systems and clinical protocols and adopt new practices that support the business, everyone in that business ecosystem has to be on the same page,” he explained. “Team members must have buy-in and be ready to move in the same direction.”

Team members also tend to have more meaningful conversations chairside that build trust and increase case acceptance, Dr. Sharma said, but messaging must be consistent. When everyone is aligned and understands the value of more complex dentistry, it “promotes case acceptance and allows patients to autonomously make the best decisions for their health.” Spear All Access provides that.

A Partner in Growth

As a Spear All Access member, you also have the opportunity to meet with a Practice Growth Partner, or PGP, for up to 6 hours each month. During these meetings, the PGP uses the data uncovered via Spear’s Dental Intelligence analytics, Dr. Sharma said, looking for opportunities for growth, identifying issues, devising a plan to overcome inefficiencies, and holding you and your team members accountable.

With Spear All Access, you no longer have to comb through reports to capture opportunities; your expert PGP does it for you. Your PGP also can help motivate your team to implement real change in your practice, and serve as a partner as you work toward meeting your goals.

“Dental Intelligence enables dentists to track KPIs, change, and growth,” Dr. Sharma said, “while your PGP evaluates every portion of the clinic from communication skills to the way the business operates.”

Real Practice Growth

Spear All Access is an annual membership, and Dr. Sharma expects many dentists to sign up for a second year because of the “immense amount of value” the program provides. The cost of the program covers 2 dentists and up to 10 team members, and those already taking advantage of it are experiencing real change. In fact, practices with Spear All Access see a 30% average daily production gain.

“The amount of education you get while supporting your team concurrently allows you to quickly elevate your practice,” he said. “Dentists see Monday morning changes from weekend workshops and that, layered in with team education and meetings with their growth partner, has led to significant lift.”
