How Dental Technology Can Relax Patients

How Dental Technology Can Relax Dental Patients

Fear of visiting the dental office is an issue people face all over the world. In a recent worldwide survey of about 18k people, more than 60% of respondents said they were suffering from dental anxiety and fear of the dentist. More often than not, patients are avoiding their dentists altogether. Fortunately, new advanced dental technology improves the overall patient experience. Below, we explain how dental technology can relax patients and increase case acceptance.

Understanding Your Patients’ Needs

In the dental office, anxious patients usually show irritability, are not agreeable and are more likely to respond to pain than their compound counterparts. These responses are troublesome not only for the patient but also for dental professionals. In order to prevent unpleasant patient encounters and ensure quality treatment, dentists and their teams need to practice meaningful ways to assist patients with dental anxieties to help them resolve and conquer their fears. Here are a few ways you can incorporate these technologies into your practice.

Teledentistry

Teledentistry has become increasingly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce potential exposures while keeping oral care, many dentists are utilizing Teledentistry. To learn more about Teledentistry, read Facts About Teledentistry.

Now that most Americans have cell phones, tablets and laptops are now fitted with high-precision cameras resulting in ultra-high-definition images; patients may obtain dental appointments from the comfort of their own homes without the stress and anxiety associated with them.

Benefits of Teledentistry

With Teledentistry, new patients will no longer have to waste time in the waiting room while you consult video instead. There is no need for dental assistants to donate and drop off personal protective equipment (PPE) for each new patient on board.

You may also have an extra degree of comfort and protection when it comes to periodic patient checks to monitor your home treatment or the healing of a newly implanted implant. There was no waiting room, no travel, and, again, no PPE required. Teledentistry helps reduce fear while ensuring their safety during a pandemic.

Virtual Reality

One of the most daunting aspects of dental anxiety that practitioners face today is the fear of the patient having to experience unnecessary discomfort during the operation. Despite advancements in medical methods and technology, the majority of people are still delaying or even fully refusing dental care due to the fear and anxiety surrounding the pain.

Doctors everywhere are putting patients at ease with virtual reality (VR). Of course the distraction takes away from the pain. By encouraging a patient to concentrate his or her attention on other thoughts, less attention is available to the pain.

Virtual reality (VR) uses advanced technology to create virtual environments (VE) that allow patients to immerse themselves in an immersive, simulated world. These sophisticated devices communicate with the VE at several levels, stimulating sights, sounds, and motion to promote immersion in the virtual world to improve pain distraction.

Our friends at Park Hills Family Dentistry, a dental office in Lexington, KY, add that studies have shown that patient participation in VE decreased their recorded levels of pain during dental work.

Advanced Dental Technology

Thanks to advanced dental technology, doctors are able to provide patients with a more accurate diagnosis, quality treatment, and maximum comfort. As a dentist, you need technology you can rely on. The IRIS intraoral cameras easily capture high-resolution images. You can show patients and insurance companies exactly what you’re seeing. As a result, patients are more likely to say yes to your treatment plan. Contact us today to find out which IRIS intraoral is right for your practice.

The XTG handheld x-ray device is another practice staple. Dentists everywhere enjoy our portable device that not only shoots pristine images but also has less radiation than traditional dental x-rays. The XTG comes with a shoulder strap and portable batteries. Taking dental x-rays has never been this easy!

Lastly, our new digital x-ray sensor, Blu, is your second set of eyes. Patients love Blu because it’s comfortable and noninvasive. It comes in two different sizes for maximum comfort. As you know, Quality digital radiography is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. That’s why we designed the Blū with 27 lp/mm & an active image area of 980 square mm.

All of our Digital Doc products are designed to make serving patients easier and more effective. Increase patient rapport and comfort when you implement our products into your practice. Contact Digital Doc today to learn how to bring your practice to the next level.

Dental Technology of Today

About Dental Technology of Today

In today’s world, technology ensures the world works efficiently. At Digital Doc, we believe that diagnosing patients at your practice should be easy. That’s why we’ve designed the best dental technology products on the market. Our high-quality devices are minimally-invasive, fast, and effective. Investing in your practice using Digital Doc technology will ensure that patients receive the best treatment possible. Below, we explore some of the best dental technology of today that is used for diagnosing, restoring, and treating patients.

Handheld X-Ray Device

Digital Dental X-rays are a common diagnostic tool used in dental practices. They are an essential tool that allows you to evaluate your patients’ jaw bone and teeth. They can also be used to diagnose bone mass loss that results from gum disease as well as diagnosis cavities. Many dental practices use XTG digital handheld dental x-ray devices because:

They use less radiation as compared to traditional x-rays
They don’t require film and produce the finest picture quality.
The images captured can be enlarged or enhanced easily.

There are two types of x-rays that are commonly found in dental practices. The first is the extra-oral x-ray. As you may know, this is when x-rays are taken on the outside of the mouth, specifical x-rays of the jaw and the skull. These x-rays are used to observe the growth of jaws in regard to teeth as well as diagnose problems with the TMJ or identify any affected teeth.

On the other hand, intraoral x-rays are taken inside the mouth. Similarly, these are used to examine the tooth roots and the surrounding bone as well as in cavity detection, monitoring teeth development, and checking jawbone overall health. The most common intraoral x-rays include:

Panoramic x-rays that capture all your teeth in one shot. This type is used to diagnose a jaw problem, plan for implants, or plan for wisdom tooth extraction.
Occlusal x-rays detect abnormalities in the bottom or top of your mouth.
Bitewing x-rays check for cavities between teeth.
Periapical x-rays usually focus on two teeth as a whole, from the roots to their crowns.

Intraoral Cameras

Gone are the days where you have to poke around in your patients’ mouth with a mirror and a headlight. Today, intraoral cameras like the IRIS X80 Liquid Lens Autofocus dental camera take diagnostics and patient education to a whole new level. The IRIS X80 effortlessly captures crystal clear images of your patients’ teeth, gums, and other structures inside their mouths. Our friend Dr. Dave Moghadam, a family dentist in Easton, PA, says that intraoral cameras is truly a game changer for any doctor looking to increase case acceptance.

Transillumination Devices

Transillumination Devices, such as the LuM Sub-Enamel Illumination device, make caries detection very easy. This is because you’re able to see a clear view of tooth structures in a way that isn’t possible with just a dental camera.

The advancements of dental technology, as seen from the few examples above, have resulted in positive changes to the experiences of dental patients while also making the work of dentists and assistants even easier. So, if you, too, would like your practice to enjoy the benefits that the latest dental technology can offer, contact Digital Doc today.

How the XTG Handheld X-Ray Can Help Your Practice

How the XTG Handheld X-Ray Helps Dental Practices

It doesn’t matter whether your dental practice currently uses digital or film X-ray sensors. The XTG handheld X-ray device will fit right in and bring advanced radiology right into your operatory! This portable X-ray system can be worn like a cross-body bag or guitar, or you can mount it on a tripod within the operatory. The choice is yours.

At just 5.2 pounds, the portable dental x-ray system is the lightest in its class. Therefore, you should have no worries that you will suffer any aches and pains while using this device.

Besides, this handheld dental x-ray is designed to be used with only one hand, so you can switch to using your left or right hand in the course of the day just for its variety! In this article, we share how the XTG handheld x-ray can help your practice.

Benefits of Using the XTG Handheld Dental X-Ray

Reduced risk of radiation exposure.

Traditional x-ray equipment isn’t just bulky but carries a higher risk of radiation exposure. As patients become more conscious about their safety, it helps to invest in an XTG portable dental x-ray device. Patients will appreciate the new x-ray device that drastically reduces the amount of radiation to which a patient is exposed without compromising the quality of the images captured.

Ease of use.

Once our Digital Doc team helps you set up the XTG portable x-ray system, all you have to do is plug it in and start taking clear x-ray images. You’ll save more time with the XTG because it’s so user friendly. In other words, just about anyone can operate this device.

Higher case acceptance rates.

The images taken using the portable dental x-ray system can be instantly displayed on a patient education monitor. Dr. Ben Kacos, the best dentist in Shreveport, LA, agrees that it helps if the monitor is large (think 50-plus inches) to see the high-quality x-ray images clearly. As you point out the areas of concern to a patient, that individual will be in no doubt regarding the necessity of the treatment plan that you propose since they will have seen for themselves the magnitude of the defect.

The list of benefits of using the handheld dental x-ray system goes on and on. Dentists enjoy using this x-ray device because it offers better care to patients, improves workflow, and increases case acceptance.

Why Your Office Needs LuM Transillumination

The Benefits of Adding LuM Transillumination to Your Office

Every dentist should strive to accurately diagnose their patients’ conditions. Luckily, there is a nearly endless list of dental technologies that can help with that. The LuM Transillumination is one device that will take your diagnostic powers into superpower territory. The LuM sub-enamel illumination device brings the powers of the IRIS dental camera to the front, and detecting and documenting caries becomes a breeze. Here are some reasons why your office needs LuM Transillumination.

Exposing What Digital X-Rays Don’t Show

Oftentimes, patients will come to your dental office with digital x-ray images that, frankly, are so poor-quality that you are unable to use them for diagnostic purposes.

Get a better look at the patient’s teeth with the help of the LuM device. You’ll likely be able to see caries that hadn’t been captured by the x-ray images, and this will give you a chance to diagnose and recommend early treatment before tooth decay progresses. This sub-enamel illumination device is particularly useful if the x-rays are recent, and you don’t want to expose the patient to any additional radiation if such can be avoided.

By so doing, you’ll be able to help the patient get treatment sooner. Without this device, you wouldn’t be able to thoroughly diagnose and treat your patient.

Positioning Your Practice as Progressive

The LuM sub-enamel illumination device is one piece of technology that gets the job done and helps you stand out as a dental office.

Many patients are impressed by this advanced technology. In fact, patients prefer modern dentists over traditional dentists. So, if you upgrade your dental technology in your practice, make sure you properly introduce these new dental products before using them on the patient. Your patients will appreciate your dental care even more.

Patient Education

Many dentists long to have patients who will not doubt any treatment recommendation that they make, and the LuM transillumination device is just the tool they need. Armed with high-quality images captured with the help of this device, you will no longer have to TELL patients what you see. Instead, you will SHOW them exactly what the problem is, and there will be no doubt in their mind that they need treatment immediately.

Dr. Leeson, a cosmetic dentist in St. Pete, FL, agrees that educating patients in this way is better done when you have large screens in your practice where the images can be beamed. So, consider investing in large HD screens for your office.

The LuM sub-enamel transillumination device pays for itself. The increase in case acceptance is undeniable. This device is something that confers immense clinical benefits, so put it at the top of your priority list as you upgrade the technology at your dental office. At Digital Doc, we are always happy to help during this process. If you want to learn more about Digi-Doc’s best dental cameras, the best handheld dental x-ray device, and of course, the LuM transillumination device. Get in touch today! We can schedule your virtual demonstration today.

IRIS X80 Camera & LUM Demonstration

IRIS X80 Camera and LUM Demonstration

Product Features: IRIS X80 Camera and LUM Demonstration

On its own, the IRIS X80 intraoral camera is a powerful diagnostic tool in the hands of dentists and other dental health professionals.

The camera effortlessly transitions from larger images (of the entire bite) to images of smaller areas (a single tooth). This ease of use means that productivity will be improved since the camera will be used a lot more times than if it was difficult to use (in which case professionals would skip using it).

Additionally, there’s no degradation of the image when using the camera with the sheath on. The coloring of the images is correct both for the tooth and for the gums. These clear images allow you to share a view of the patient’s mouth with them. Consequently, the patient will be in a position to understand better your treatment plan. They will also understand the urgency of starting treatment before more dental issues can arise out of this treatable condition. Dr. O’Grady, a dentist in Denver, CO, adds that his patients absolutely love being able to see what the doctors seeing. It makes communicating that much easier.

Why Use a Dental Camera Cover

You can use the IRIS X80 with or without a camera cover, but there’re 3 good reasons to use a camera cover:

Patients feel more comfortable having this single-use disposable surface making contact with their oral structures.
Patients never get to taste the disinfectants or cleaning products used on the camera.
The sheath dramatically cuts down the fogging of the camera while it’s in use.

The IRIS X80 Autofocus Dental Camera Works Even Better With the LUM

The LUM is a sub-enamel illuminator that quickly and easily attaches to the Digital Doc dental camera. You simply slip it over the dental camera on the side with the tip (not the side where you hold the camera).

This combination of the X80 camera and the LUM Sub-enamel illumination device takes the diagnostic powers of the X80 to a whole new level. The LUM doesn’t require any extra software if you want to use it with your X80 camera.

The LUM allows you to get x-ray like images of the teeth without exposing your patients to any ionizing radiation.

It allows you to clearly show fractures, caries, and different abstractions and defects in the teeth. This saves doctors from taking time to use dental probes and then x-rays in an attempt to get a clear understanding of the magnitude and progression of defects.

Benefits of the LuM

By placing the LuM on the camera and viewing a defect of concern, such as a black spot on a tooth, you are able to move the camera around and see the shape and depth of the spot.

The LUM can also allow you to see how caries are spreading in a tooth. This wouldn’t have been possible without the sub-enamel illumination device since you would only see spots on the surface of the tooth. The detailed x-ray like images can be documented in the patient’s file. These stored images can then be referred to during subsequent dental visits, but the most important thing is that the patient can see exactly what you see and how you are planning to help them.

The LUM can also help to detect and document interproximal caries. As described earlier, you can move the camera around in different directions in order to view caries from different angles and also show the patient what you are seeing.

The LUM’s usefulness isn’t only restricted to molars and premolars. It can be used on any tooth. For example, the LUM can help you to see how deep fractures on front teeth are, and you can document these defects as well as show the patient what you see.

Take a look for yourself and see the combination of the X80 and LUM in action below:

The Future of Dental Technology and Innovation

The Future of Dental Technology and Innovation

Diving Into The Future of Dental Technology and Innovation

For a long time, many people would avoid visiting their dentist if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. This is because dental visits didn’t have the right tools or methods. Luckily, there are a number of technological advancements that have been introduced in the world of dentistry. Dental visits are now quicker, more reliable, less painful, and more comfortable for the patient. Here is an overview of the future of dental technology and innovation.

Smart Toothbrushes

The concept of smart homes is becoming widely popular. For example, there are a variety of smart appliances like a smart dishwasher. In the field of dentistry, electric toothbrushes are now a common thing. So, it’s no surprise that electric toothbrushes will be able to monitor how you’re brushing your teeth. These smart toothbrushes make at-home dental care a breeze not just for kids but adults as well.

Digital Dentures

Gone are the days when several weeks and multiple visits to a dentist were needed to get dentures made. Advanced materials, software, and techniques have cut the time needed to make dentures. As a dentist, all you need is CAD/CAM technology to quickly fabricate custom-fit dentures with just a few clicks on their computer.

Augmented Reality (AR)

You can credit gaming applications for making AR common today, but don’t be deceived that augmented reality will be restricted to the world of digital or online games. AR is slowly making its way into all industries, and it is beginning to creep into dentistry as well. For example, it is being used by some dental schools to demonstrate to students various treatment techniques. More applications for this innovation are sure to follow in the coming years.

Teledentistry

As we mentioned in the beginning, lots of people do everything they can to avoid going to their dentist. For example, dental anxiety may be one of the factors keeping them away. Teledentistry is one of the innovations that have been introduced to address dental concerns virtually.

In this approach, patients are video chatting with their dentist. Doctors like Dr. Ben Kacos, a dentist in Shreveport, LA, offers smile virtual consultations for patients interested in a smile makeover. Teledentistry is also a helpful way to communicate more with patients about the necessary steps of treatment.

Intraoral Cameras

Many patients who visit the dentist are unsure of what their dentist actually does during their appointment.

Thanks to new technology like intraoral cameras, dentists can now show patients exactly what they see. Using a slim intraoral camera, you will be able to quickly capture high-quality images of the patient’s oral cavity and then review those images on a monitor in your operatory. The best dental camera helps patients better understand the severity of their dental problem and can make a better decision about starting treatment. Additionally, doctors who use intraoral cameras in their office are seeing a 10-30% increase in revenue.

As you can see, dental technology has come a long way and the future of dental technology will continue to change. To learn more about how you can start implementing intraoral cameras in your dental practice, contact Digital Doc to set up a virtual demo.

LUM Transillumination

Enhance your detection powers by acquiring the LUM Transillumination device from Digital Doc. This compact and easy-to-use diagnostic tool takes the capabilities of the IRIS intraoral camera to a whole new level.

The specialized LED technology in the LUM shines high-intensity light on a tooth. The way the lighting system is positioned ensures that the rays of light are perpendicular to the surface of the tooth. If there are irregularities or impurities on the tooth, such as cracks, fractures or leaking amalgam fillings, then the light rays will be dispersed and the dentist will see this anomaly. With LUM, you will be able to detect caries and other dental defects long before they progress.

We also have a variety of accessories that are designed to help you get the best from our products. These accessories include Digi Wipes, IRIS Chair Installation kits, Camera Sheaths, IRIS Custom USB cables, and so many others.
