Dental technology is a must-have for dental offices everywhere. Modern advanced dental technology is how dentists are separating themselves from other offices. growing at an unprecedented pace. However, some of the dental technologies available may not be worthwhile investments. If you are a dental practice owner with an outdated office, we hope you find value in today’s blog post. Read on and learn some of the top dental technologies worth investing in.

Intraoral Dental Cameras

One of the best technologies that you can acquire for your dental practice is an intraoral digital camera, such as the IRIS X80 Intraoral Camera. This tool will be a massive boost to your diagnostic competence. Being able to view crystal clear images of the teeth, gums and other oral tissues inside a patient’s mouth makes a world of difference in case acceptance. Patients will spend less time in the chair since you will be able to identify any developing issues quickly and design a treatment plan for those patients.

The images from your intraoral camera are shown to the patient in real-time, making the treatment planning consultative rather than optional. Consequently, more revenue will flow into your practice because patients will see for themselves why they shouldn’t put off. The only decision they will have to make is when to schedule treatment with you. 

Portable X-Rays

The traditional radiography equipment is so cumbersome that it has to be installed in a separate room from the room where patients undergo dental exams and treatment. This imposes a space constraint on dental practices.

Secondly, the traditional radiography machines expose patients and technicians to relatively high levels of radiation. This can have an adverse effect on the health of the affected people later in life.

Additionally, it takes longer to prep a patient for X-Ray images to be taken using those traditional machines. The results take longer to be available too. This means that the patient may need to visit the dental practice more than once in order for diagnosis and treatment to be provided.

Technology has availed portable X-Ray machines like the XTG Handheld X-Ray which brings radiography to the dental chair. Images can be taken quickly and conveniently without asking the patient to move to a radiology room. Radiation exposure levels are also a tiny fraction of what happens with the traditional machines. Thus, improved patient safety and greater efficiency are registered when you upgrade to this new technology.
