  • Scaling to 30 All-On-X Arches per Month: Dr. Cory Nguyen's Blueprint
    Nov 25 2024

    Can offering All-On-X Arches revive an undervalued practice?


    Dr. Cory Nguyen is a highly accomplished implant dentist in Dallas. He talks about how advanced digital dentistry and strategic marketing have grown his practice to performing over 30 All-on-X cases monthly. That's insanely impressive. Growing up in Vietnam and witnessing limited access to dental care ignited his passion for dentistry. After overcoming language barriers and extensive training in the U.S., Dr. Nguyen got into implant dentistry, discovering how innovations like All-On-X Arches, digital workflows, photogrammetry, and CAD/CAM technology significantly shorten treatment timeframes, allowing complex cases to be completed within a day. He emphasizes that continuous learning and skill-building, particularly in advanced surgery and digital techniques, are key to scaling up All-On-X case volumes.


    Achieving high implant case numbers, Dr. Nguyen explains, requires a robust support system, including a well-trained team and a strategic marketing approach. He shares that his success in scaling from five to 30 arches per month is largely due to effective marketing, combining TV ads, social media, and strong referral networks. For other dentists aiming to double their practice value, he advocates adding even five full-arch cases monthly to substantially boost revenue. Dr. Nguyen also highlights the critical role of internal referrals from general dentistry patients, who often progress to complex implant treatments as their needs evolve.


    Beyond technique, Dr. Nguyen talks about the importance of mentorship and understanding neuromuscular health, sleep apnea, and TMJ for long-term implant success. His experience in implant dentistry helps him get to the root of dental issues like bruxism and airway obstructions, which often cause implant failures. By focusing on strategies for dental professionals, like airway and bite optimization, and scaling dental practices, he’s improving patient outcomes while boosting dental business growth. Dr. Nguyen is also planning mentorship programs to share his approach, showing how these tools can transform implant dentistry.
