It is important to have room in the schedule for high production procedures such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. We call those rocks. Lesser productive procedures include fillings and exams. We call those sand. Little or no production procedures are things like post-op checks, crown seats, suture removals, etc. We call those water.

Think of the daily schedule as a big glass jar. If you fill the jar with water, there is no room for anything else, just like if you fill the daily schedule with lots of non-productive procedures, there is no room left for big production (rocks).

On the other hand, if you make it a point to schedule big production first, filling the jar with rocks, it may appear full, but in reality there is room for sand, and even water. You can always find the time to work in a filling or two here and there in the schedule, and post-op checks can go almost anywhere because they take so little time.

Schedule big time-consuming procedures first, followed by less production, followed by no production, and you can find room for all procedures. You will keep the office busy, productive, and profitable.
