To our customers, colleagues, and everyone who attended the 2026 AAOMS Annual Meeting: thank you. Your participation, thoughtful questions, and enthusiasm made this a valuable opportunity to explore how oral surgery practices can improve patient access, support their teams, and strengthen performance.
From nurse practitioner integration to revenue cycle management and implant treatment coordination, the conversations reinforced how much thoughtful implementation can accomplish. Practice Metrix is ready to help you put those ideas to work.
More Surgical Time and Shorter Consult Waits
The tremendous interest in integrating nurse practitioners (NP) into oral surgery practices was a highlight of the meeting. With the right training, role and scheduling, an NP can help free approximately three hours of surgeon time each day for additional surgical care.*
By handling appropriate consultations, postoperative visits and care coordination, an NP creates another point of access for patients. Each day that NP appointments are available, your practice has more opportunities to see patients sooner and keep follow-up care moving without consuming surgical appointment time. That can shorten consult waits and give referring offices more dependable access.
NP ROI Starts With the Total Production Opportunity
The opportunity includes both the NP’s own clinical production and the additional surgical production made possible by the time the NP helps free. Together, those contributions can represent a potential return approaching 10× the annual NP investment in an illustrative production model.*
NP clinical production + additional surgical production = total production opportunity.
A no-cost, no-obligation NP value study can assess your consult demand, wait times, surgical schedule, staffing and costs to help determine whether this role could bring meaningful value to your practice and your patients.
*The nearly 10× figure is an illustrative production-to-cost multiple, not net profit or a guaranteed ROI. Actual financial return depends on collections and incremental costs. Approximately three hours represents potential capacity; additional production requires appropriate case demand and scheduling. NP responsibilities must fit licensure, scope, and practice protocols.
Strong Interest in Understanding Your Revenue Cycle
Thank you as well for the strong attendance at the Understanding Your Revenue Cycle course Sean M. Wild hosted with Nobel Biocare. The participation underscored how much practices want to understand billing performance and collect appropriately for the care they deliver.
A busy schedule alone cannot tell you whether your revenue cycle is working well. Incomplete benefit verification, preventable denials, underpayments, and inconsistent follow-up can delay collections and consume valuable staff time.
Let Us Take a Closer Look at Your Billing
Practice Metrix offers a no-cost, no-obligation revenue cycle review to identify opportunities in your medical and dental billing. We can examine the processes that connect patient intake, documentation and coding to claims, collections and follow-up.
You deserve to know whether your practice is collecting what it should, where avoidable delays occur, and which improvements deserve attention. An independent review can reveal useful opportunities even when your billing team is experienced and working hard. There is no commitment to purchase a service.
Let Nobel Implant Bundles Support Your Next Step
If you place Nobel implants, Nobel Biocare can help you participate in Practice Metrix training initiatives through simple, eligible implant bundles. Ask your Nobel representative how current options can support your goals for NP integration, team development, implant treatment coordination and digital workflows.
Connect the implants you place with education that helps your team grow. Your Nobel representative can confirm eligible courses, implant quantities and current program terms.

Discover What a True Implant Treatment Coordinator Can Do
A true Implant Treatment Coordinator gives patients a consistent guide through a complex treatment journey. That means time to understand the surgeon’s recommendations, discuss concerns, clarify financial options and prepare for the next step.
The role also connects your surgical team with referring dentists and laboratories: coordinating communication, implant components, digital planning information and restorative milestones. Patients gain clarity, referrals stay informed, and your team can reduce avoidable gaps between planning and care.
Learn how Practice Metrix can help develop a true ITC who elevates your practice, strengthens the care experience, and supports better outcomes for patients and referring partners alike. Ask us about ITC training when you connect.
