The Win/Win
Its a fact! Our behavior is driven by what we believe, either consciously or unconscientiously. If our income is driven by procedures then we are more likely to see more procedures to do. If our income is driven by keeping people healthy (preventive dentistry) then it is more likely we will look for more ways to do that. That usually means less procedures not more, reducing possible complications, your time in the dental office and improving your dental health at less cost to you.
Why HMO's work for dentistry
Dentistry led the way in preventive health medicine in the 1950's with the advent of fluoridated water, tooth paste, and rinse. It has worked well. Therefore, from a pure actuarial stand point the numbers now work predictably for dental HMO's to be very profitable for the dentist

The Decathlon Dental Group represents a new vision of dental health care for the future as we move into the next millennium. As we move toward managed care we have become a part of the change embracing it rather than trying to ignore it. Dr. Johns and his staff have developed a practice philosophy that explains this further.
A new Paradigm
Managed care is preventive driven not procedure driven. Our income levels are based on your dental health
