How to Maximize the Use of Intraoral Cameras

It is one thing to acquire intraoral cameras like the IRIS X80 Intraoral Camera for your dental practice and another to maximize its benefits. In this article, our Digital Doc team discusses how to maximize the use of intraoral cameras in your practice. Doctors worldwide have seen astonishing results using advanced dental technology.

Optimize the Installation

Some dental practitioners often wonder about which intraoral camera would be suitable for their needs. Without getting into the details of the different leading intraoral cameras available, the first thing is to ensure that you can actually use whatever camera you have. One way to use your intraoral camera is to install it where it is easy to access during any stage of the treatment process. Make sure that the intraoral camera is within reach in your operatory. In this way, you or your staff will not find it bothersome to access and use that equipment. The good thing about IRIS HD intraoral cameras is that they are portable and come with rechargeable batteries, so it is easy to integrate them in the routines at your dental office.

Let Your Assistant Use the Intraoral Camera Before You Assess the Patient

One of the best ways to maximize the value that you get from the IRIS USB Dental Camera for Windows is by asking your dental assistant to take several images during the hygiene visit. Your dental assistant can take close-ups of the areas before you come to examine the patient.

In this way, you will be able to reduce the time needed to diagnose the patient since the dental assistant has already provided you with what you need to diagnosis your patient.

Make It Facilitate Co-diagnosis

Another way to maximize the use of intraoral cameras like the IRIS Intraoral Camera for MAC is by giving your patients a ringside seat during their examination and treatment. Beam each image that you take on a large monitor so that the patient can see what you see. Next, discuss any problem areas that you have observed and ask the patient for their input regarding the specific images showing what you are referring to.

This collaborative effort will increase case acceptance because there will be no doubt in the mind of your patient regarding the issues that need to be fixed. A bonus of this approach is that patients will be more likely to take greater care of their dental health because they’ve witnessed the severity firsthand.

Let the Camera Make the Case for Follow-Up Visits

As already mentioned, the images taken using an intraoral camera can transform your case acceptance rates a great deal. In addition to that, those same images can address the issue of patients not returning for follow-up visits due to a misconception that such visits can wait.

Your patients will start coming for follow-up visits if you use your IRIS X80 Intraoral Camera to capture images of developing or suspected problems that require monitoring before a decision is made regarding what can be done. The progressive images will show how the suspected problem is developing, and those images will give the patient motivation to come for those follow-up visits as advised.

Use Them When Filing Insurance Claims

Many dental care treatments and procedures are covered by insurance. Therefore, your administrative staff will file claims for payment once patients with dental care insurance policies visit the practice.

The images taken using intraoral cameras should be sent together with the documentation submitted to the insurance company. Those images will expedite the processing of your payment claims because the insurance company will see the proof of the issues or the treatment received by a policyholder. Consequently, you will save the time and effort that would have been lost in back and forth communication with the insurance company over pending claims.

As you can see, we have just touched on a few aspects of the treatment process where the intraoral camera can be instrumental to your dental office. Use the suggestions above as guidelines for implementing dental cameras into your practice. Soon, you will see results in your patients’ treatments and your practice.

National Dental Hygiene Month

Celebrate National Dental Hygiene Month

October is National Dental Hygiene Month. This entire month dedicated to our dependable and caring hygienists. National Dental Hygiene Month is sponsored by the American Dental Hygienists’ Association and Colgate, aims to express gratitude to all hygienists and recognize their dedication to keeping patients healthy. To help celebrate, our Digital Doc team would like to highlight some of the things dental hygienists perform. Also, we share a few ways you can make them feel appreciated this month. Join us in celebrating National Dental Hygiene Month!

What Are the Duties of Dental Hygienists?

Many patients believe that hygienists are simply responsible for cleaning teeth. The truth is that they do a lot more. In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to see and spend more time with their hygienists than with their dentists. While laws and rules vary by state, and a hygienist’s specific duties may differ accordingly, there are some common things that many hygienists do on a daily basis, such as:

Personalization – When you initially begin seeing a new dentist, the hygienist will normally begin by examining some paperwork that contains the patient’s dental health history and overall health history. They will update this information at each appointment to ensure that you are receiving the finest care possible for their mouth and body.
Cleaning Teeth – We all know that a dental hygienist’s primary responsibility is to clean teeth and remove any plaque or tartar buildup. Many hygienists will also screen you for oral cancer, efficiently take x-rays using the XTG Handheld X-ray device, and measure the patient’s gum pockets to check for gum disease.
Preventative Dentistry — While cleaning the patient’s teeth, the hygienist is also paying particular attention to any regions of their mouth that may require a closer examination by the dentist. Dental hygienists may also apply fluoride or sealants to teeth to prevent acids and germs from causing tooth damage or to alleviate tooth discomfort.
Educating Points – During the cleaning, the hygienist will use advanced dental technology to explain more of the state of the patient’s oral health. This is an ideal time to talk to your patient about the state of their oral health. Many patients will say yes to treatment because they can physically see the problem when using the IRIS X80 Intraoral Camera.

How Can We Make Dental Hygienists Feel Appreciated?

As you know, dental hygienists are the glue that holds dental practices together. All team members will go the extra mile for a dental clinic that values their work, attitude, and involvement. Recognize their contributions to the practice’s success. Below are a few ways you can make your dental hygienists feel appreciated for National Dental Hygiene Month!

Personal Note – Each team member should write a thank you card recognizing the dental hygienist’s (or hygienists’) superpower.

Decorate the office – Patients are invited to participate in the festivities.

Appreciation post on social – Posting a sweet appreciation post highlighting your RDH team is something that any practice can do.
Sweet Treats – A yummy breakfast or lunch for the RDH team. So, bring lunch into the office to celebrate with the entire crew.
Gifts – If you’re feeling generous, National Dental Hygiene Month is the perfect time to give gift cards, flowers, or even a new toy for the office.

Advanced dental technology. – So, if you have an outdated intraoral camera, dental sensor, or x-ray device, you should schedule a virtual demonstration. Simply to see if your RDH team could benefit from new equipment. So, contact us today to schedule!

Celebrate National Dental Hygiene Month All Year Round!

Throughout the year, recognize your team members and pay special attention to each specialty’s daily, weekly, or monthly recognition. Inform everyone about their impact on your dental practice, your patients, vendors, and referrals. Everyone contributes to the bottom line of the dental practice. So, take time this month, and every month, to appreciate your dental hygienist for everything they do to keep your practice up and running.

Before Starting a New Dental Practice

Before Starting a New Dental Practice

Tips Before Starting a New Dental Practice

Starting your first dental practice is an exciting chapter in your career. Creating a successful dental practice requires dedication and the right team. Most will tell you that it’s harder than it looks. Below, our Digital Doc team has gathered some tips to consider before starting a new dental practice. Finding the perfect space for your new startup can be difficult. You’ll want to consider a few things before signing a new lease on your office.

Office Size & Shape

You’ll want to ensure that your new dental practice has enough space for your patients and staff. Something to consider is the shape of the office. The more oddly shaped it is, the harder it will be to furnish. Give yourself room to grow as well. Avoid signing a lease on something that is too small.

Parking

A landlord will typically allocate three parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of office space in leased buildings. However, this is insufficient for a dental practice. A minimum of five parking places per 1,000 square feet of office space is usually sufficient to accommodate patients and workers.

Utilities

Before signing a lease, ensure that the space has adequate utilities, particularly adequate power service. The average dentist practice requires 400-500 amps of power. Many new buildings require solar power now, so if you’d like to save money on electricity, consider finding a newer building.

Floor Space and Columns

Examine the quantity and location of columns that will be installed in the leased space. This information is crucial for your architect to have when drawing up floor plans so that columns don’t interfere with the positioning of dental chairs or other equipment, or otherwise disrupt the flow of the room. Remember that older buildings have even more columns in a multi-story arrangement, so keep that in mind. Furthermore, columns in the clinical zone must be spaced appropriately apart from the outside walls to allow for proper depth for the operatory and clinical corridor. As a general rule, for each column in your leasing space, add 50 square feet to your floor design space requirements.

Irregular Permiters

Asymmetrical areas can be difficult to work with. If the perimeter is uneven, it will be impossible to put all dental chairs equidistant from the wall, resulting in a staggered configuration. The alternative would be to arrange seats in a treatment hallway, but this would require some room to be sacrificed. As a general rule, add 50 to 75 square feet to the area required for each irregularity.

Building Regulations

Choose an architect who is familiar with local building codes, particularly fire standards. Ensuring code compliance when planning the floor layout will aid in obtaining permits to expand out the area. For example, fire codes mandate a separate auxiliary exit from the patient entrance. Some fire regulations include extra criteria such as the use of specific building materials and/or the installation of a fire sprinkler system.

Signage Is Available

It is advantageous to have your leasing agent negotiate the inclusion of outdoor signage in the lease to help boost exposure for your business. A seasoned leasing agent is worth his or her weight in gold. They can review the entire agreement and negotiate on your behalf.

Local Competitors

A common mistake new dentists make is not doing research on local competitors. The last thing you want to do is sign a 5-year lease next to your biggest competitor in town. Dental offices are everywhere, so do your due diligence before saying yes to a contract. If there are other buildings or offices available near you, find out if anyone plans on moving in soon.

Technology

The logistics of a new dental practice can be overwhelming if you do not have the right tools. Advanced dental technology is one aspect of your dental practice that can help bring revenue to your practice. In fact, doctors who use Digital Doc products see anywhere from a 10-40% increase in revenue. Our products are an investment, but they do get patients to say yes to treatment. Interested?

Scaling Your Dental Practice

4 Things You Should Keep in Mind When Scaling Your Dental Practice

A time comes when every dentist has to scale his or her practice. This may be because the patient load has increased and you can no longer handle it on your own. Scaling your dental practice may also be necessary when you notice that fixed costs like rent and salaries are growing rapidly, so you need to scale up in order to stay profitable. Keep the following factors in mind when scaling your dental practice.

Attract and Retain Key Employees

You cannot scale your dental practice if you are short on the human resource side of your practice. Scaling can also be hard if you keep losing the employees that you hire. Your first task in scaling the dental practice should begin with mapping out how you will get and retain A-team members.

One way to do this is by offering them an ownership stake in the practice. Clear standards should be established regarding the processes/deliverables that can earn the employee an equity stake in the practice. Such measures will get those performers invested in the dental practice and they will no longer feel the urge to leave and start their own dental practice.

Systemize Your Operations

Another challenge will emerge once you start hiring extra dentists or related professionals to work in your dental practice. How do you get rid of that uneasiness that they will not do things in the exact way that you would like them to?

The answer to this lies in systemizing your practice. Create systems that make it possible for the practice to stay functional and profitable even without you.

For example, you can start by recording how you perform each procedure so that the new hires can follow those same steps to perform those tasks. Mentor them and answer all their questions so that a point is reached when you no longer have to go over what they have done to confirm that it was done correctly.

Another way to systemize is by rethinking how patient appointments are scheduled. A clever way to get more done within a typical day is by scheduling similar procedures close to each other. For example, you can schedule dental fillings in the morning hours then root canals or other complex procedures in the afternoon.

Get the Right Technology

The third key component of scaling your dental practice is by acquiring technology that will enable the practice to become more efficient and profitable.

For example, the XTG Handheld X-ray machine can reduce the time needed to move a patient to another room in order to have diagnostic tests done. Similarly, the IRIS HD USB 3.0 dental camera can allow you to take detailed images of the dental structures of the patient when that patient is sitting in the dental chair.

Such technologies can make your staff more productive since less time will be spent attending to each patient. The patients will also greatly appreciate that all their dental work can be completed in one short visit.

Know Your Numbers

Two key metrics need to be considered by anyone attempting to scale a dental practice. First, at what rate is your revenue growing? Uncontrolled growth can kill! For example, you may choke on payroll costs if the rate of revenue growth doesn’t match or exceed the rate at which your fixed costs are growing.

Secondly, you need to know the rate at which your income is growing. Always aim at income growth rates that are higher than revenue growth rates. The acquisition of the cutting-edge dental technologies discussed above is one way to increase the profitability of each employee since more patients will be attended to each day. Scale your dental practice once you are sure that your income is growing at a rate that surpasses the rate at which revenues are growing.

Scaling a dental practice can be a challenging process since it entails giving up some of the control you have always had. However, the process can be rewarding once you have the right team in place and work together to realize the shared vision of the dental practice.

Effective Principles of Practice Management

Effective Principles for Practice Management

The Most Effective Principles for Dental Practice Management

Is it possible to have a multi-million-dollar dental practice? The short answer is yes. If you are a business owner, you know how difficult it can be to become this successful. Keep in mind that every successful dental practice, big or small, started somewhere. So, how do you achieve this? Consistently follow these effective principles for practice management.

Invest in Quality Dental Practices

Now we live in a high-tech world. Therefore, patients expect advanced dental technology at their dentist’s office. One of the biggest ways you can increase revenue in your practice is by putting a quality intraoral camera in every operatory. Hygiene should be using this device on every patient. They should be showing patients the pictures captured with the dental camera. This will allow patients to physically see the problem instead of having to trust your judgment to start treatment. With Digital Doc technology, you and your patients are able to see more, do more.

Make Your Office Beautiful & Professional

There is nothing more appealing to potential clients than a dentist’s office that is both professional and aesthetically built. Patients love to see businesses go above and beyond. Our friend Dr. Wade, a dentist in Pinellas Park, FL, is a great example of a dental office that is both fun and inviting for all ages. Their office is beautifully made to match their branding. An office like this will get more referrals than an average office.

Create a Dream Team

Practice owners should polish their leadership abilities and spend time finding the ideal match for each position because an effective team goes a long way toward advancing their dental practices’ success. Training, mentoring and coaching your employees will help them develop a personal stake in your practice.

Other things that will help include developing a vision statement and goals, empowering your team members by distributing responsibility, investing in career development, conducting frequent evaluations, hosting team activities, and other events designed to inspire cooperation. It may take a while for you to find your dream team, but there are plenty of resources online for hiring new employees.

Enhance the Patient Experience

In addition to a professional-looking office, outstanding customer service that wows new patients will go a long way toward increasing recurring business. Prepare a script for new patients that shows them how important they are to you, beginning with a warm welcome that eases their fears and ending with a comprehensive oral health examination and treatment plan. Many dentists today are recording welcome videos and post-op videos explaining expectations for treatment.

Incorporate Problem-Solving Techniques

Effective problem-solving techniques should be staples in the arsenal of any practice owner. Keep facts in mind at all times. If you can locate someone to help you solve a problem, do so – but keep your budget in mind. Take the appropriate precautions to avoid a recurrence of the condition. Once you’ve solved it, don’t think about it again. Our Digital Doc team is happy to assist you in your journey to success. We’re happy to schedule a virtual demonstration to discuss how our dental products can help you increase revenue. Contact Digital Doc today!

Tips for Running a Successful Dental Practice

How to Increase Profit In Your Dental Practice

Tips for Running A Successful Dental Practice

Best Tips for Running A Successful Dental Practice in 2021

Patient retention rates are affected by how you run your dental office. As you know, running a dental practice is not easy, especially if it’s your new at it. Even the best dentist may have trouble running a successful practice. The way you run your practice will influence your patients’ experience, therefore affecting your ROI. Our Digital Doc team has worked with thousands of dentists worldwide. Below are a few tips for running a successful dental practice.

What Distinguishes Your Dental Practice?

It’s obvious that there are dental practices everywhere. So, what sets you apart from all of the rest? It can be difficult to show prospects why they should become an established patient. A few things that could help you stand out are identifying what matters most to them. Patients these days want to go to a dentist who has a beautiful office, friendly staff, advanced dental technology, and a great reputation. It’s not just about the service you provide, but how you make them feel. We’ve seen more and more dental offices putting effort into making an aesthetically pleasing office. Make your office fun, warm, and inviting.

Office Culture

As we mentioned before, there’s a lot more that goes into creating the perfect experience for your patients. If you’re struggling to run a successful dental practice, dive a little deeper into office culture. The environment of your office will directly affect your patients. If something is off between team members, they will notice. Consider doing daily and weekly team meetings, team bonding, or offering incentives. Talk it through with your team and find out what they’d like to change. Happier employees will help your office culture!

Expand Services & Dental Technology

When it comes time to expand your patient base, consider how you may improve value. Many dental offices today are investing in advanced dental technology. Dental products such as intraoral cameras, dental sensors, and portable x-rays show patients that their oral health is valued. Additionally, completing continuing education credits will show patients that you are staying on top of the latest dental practices. Be sure to utilize your marketing to showcase your new certifications.

Flexible Financial Options

Now more than ever, patients do not have dental insurance. Many dental practices offer new patient specials or financial options. If you are not offering this to your patients, you could be losing out on new leads. Aside from insurance, accessible financial alternatives include debit, credit, personal check, and cash, as well as customized financing to guarantee that personal financial situations do not interfere with oral health care selections.

Get More Patients Referrals

Nothing beats a word-of-mouth reference when it comes to expanding your patient base. A trustworthy referral from a friend, family member, colleague, or even the internet may be the only reason a patient picks your dental clinic over another. Our friends Dr. Cody Boals and Dr. Alexa Johnson, your Colorado Springs dentists, love doing monthly giveaways and smile makeovers. They recommend promoting these giveaways on social media. This is another great way to impatient patient referrals.

Now that you have some tips for running a successful dental practice, you can start working on becoming the best local dentist in your area.

Why Dentists Lacking New Dental Technology Are Being Left Behind

Why Dentists Lacking New Dental Technology Are Being Left Behind in 2021

We can all agree that technology has changed immensely over the last few years. These changes are constant and rapid, but that doesn’t mean everyone is adapting them. In the dental industry, dental practice owners have to be innovative if they want to stay relevant. In this article, we discuss why dentists lacking new dental technology are being left behind in 2021.

Communicate Effectively With Your Patients

One very good way to effectively communicate with your customers is through intraoral cameras. Digital Doc’s intraoral cameras provide excellent imagery. Through these crystal clear images, patients can get a better understanding of their oral health. Thus it is as beneficial for the dentist as it is for the patient. The latest technology in intraoral cameras is the IRIS X80 Liquid Lens Auto-Focus by Digital Doc. This camera provides the highest quality available in the market. The main advantage of using the IRIS X80 is that it is plug and play ready, has liquid lens autofocus, and an extremely sturdy frame. Today, customers appreciate photography more than ever before. Using Digital Doc’s intraoral cameras allows you to show patients what’s going on with their mouths clearly. Upgrading your dental technology is certainly worth the return.

Other Ways You Can Communicate With Your Patients

How you can effectively communicate with patients:

Explain the advanced dental technology: Not every patient will be receptive to the use of new technology. So it is better to explain detail how technology can improve their treatment and describe step by step how it works.
Partner in decision making: Instead of telling your patient what needs to be done, try to get them to participate in decision making. You can explain the pros and cons of treatment options. Patients will appreciate being involved, and it also gives them a sense of control.
Social media: Social media is a perfect platform to educate your patients. Social platforms give you the freedom to display what you have to say in great detail through pictures and videos. Also, you can reach a bigger audience on social media.

Why You Should Upgrade Your Dental Technology

It can be hard to keep up with all the latest technology. A good amount of dentistry’s older generation is missing out on amazing opportunities to grow their dental practice and patient base. Simple dental technology updates like switching to the IRIS X80 intraoral camera can drastically change the efficiency of running your practice. Intraoral cameras allow you to SEE MORE and DO MORE! Today, the majority of patients will choose a more modern dental office over a traditional dental office. Don’t worry, it’s not too late to upgrade your dental equipment. If you’re a dentist lacking new dental technology, contact us at Digital Doc, and we will schedule a virtual demo!

How Can a Digital Doc Camera Boost My Practice?

how can digital doc camera boost my practice - Digital doc

How Can Digi Doc Boost My Practice?

How Can a Digital Doc Camera Boost My Practice in 2021

For over 20 years, Digital Doc has been making the best intraoral cameras in the industry. Our high-quality dental cameras are enabling dental offices to See More, Do More for their patients. Patients who choose Digital Doc will see a 10% increase in revenue with a camera per provider following our 12 images in 2 minutes protocol. Cathy Jameson recently told Brett Wilson, President of Digital Doc, that she has tracked revenue increase for 30 years and offices using cameras as described above see an average of 30% increase in revenue. This boost to dental offices is made possible by our digital cameras in several ways. So, you may be asking yourself, how can a Digital Doc camera boost my practice? Find out below.

Digital Doc Cameras Have High Image Quality

We live in an HD world today, agree? When you watch a football game can you tell if the game is standard definition or high definition? At Digital Doc, we know that the quality and accuracy of diagnosis in the dental field, and all fields of medicine, highly depends on the quality of the diagnostic images a doctor reviews. Our IRIS X80 Intraoral Camera takes intraoral images to a whole new level of quality.

The crystal clear images that clinicians can access using our dental cameras are second to none. They not only enable the doctor to see more, do more, but they also give the patient the perspective of the doctor. So, the gravity of a dental problem is clearly appreciated, and the urgency for treatment stands out clearly. The X80 offers a wide variety of benefits. Some benefits include the autofocus camera, and plug and play use, and dual capture buttons.

This means that with a Digital Doc camera in your dental office, diagnosis, and getting patients to accept treatment will get a whole lot easier.

Ease of Use

Many dental practices have equipment that remains unused simply because the dental assistants and other staff members find that equipment difficult to use.

At Digital Doc, we look at and rely on two approaches to making sure that our intraoral cameras will be welcomed and used by dental offices.

First, we include our 12-in-2 training that dental offices get when they acquire our cameras. We even provide virtual demonstrations of how our cameras can be used so that every member of the team can have a chance to learn how to get the best from these best-in-class HD intraoral cameras.

Secondly, we devote a lot of time, personnel, and other resources to continuously improving the ease of use of our dental cameras. Some of the results of our efforts in this direction are seen in the IRIS X80 Camera. The X80 comes with the autofocus capabilities mentioned earlier, dual capture buttons that allow left-handed and right-handed clinicians to use their preferred hand to capture images, and many other carefully selected features.

The work at your dental office will, therefore, be greatly eased if you partner with us as your provider of digital dental technology, such as intraoral cameras.

Unparalleled Support from Our Digital Doc Team

We don’t stop at selling you our equipment and then leaving you to figure out how to use them. At Digital Doc, we know that transitioning to new dental technology often comes with a steep learning curve, and staff members will adapt at different rates.

This isn’t a journey you should walk alone. We stand by you through the journey so that you can get timely help in dealing with any issues that could arise. After all, we know our equipment better than anyone else, so we make our expertise available by phone or email.

There’s no need to worry when you have the support of the entire Digital Doc team. For troubleshooting or other questions, please contact the Digital Doc Support team.

Deepening Interactions with Patients

Dental offices thrive based on the kinds of relationships they have with their patients. These relationships are harder to cultivate and maintain today in a metrics-driven era of dentistry, and medicine in general.

An intraoral camera from Digital Doc is just what your dental office needs to create and deepen your interactions with patients. For example, once the images are captured, they can be displayed in real-time on a large screen within the operatory. As those different images come up, the clinician can explain each image to the patient and identify key areas of the image that point to a certain diagnosis and the needed treatment for that condition seen.

Many times, those images alone are enough to put the patient in the driver’s seat in terms of appreciating how urgent treatment is. Your interaction with the patient enables that patient to be satisfied with the services that are available at your dental office, and with high patient satisfaction rates comes more revenue from patient loyalty and referrals of other patients by the existing ones.

Contact Digital Doc

By now, you should understand why so many dental offices are benefiting from the dental technology at Digital Doc. What now remains is for you to make your needs known to us so that we can recommend the best way to add these cutting-edge devices to your office in a cost-effective way. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latest news.
