Why Digital X-Rays Are Better Than Traditional Ones

The Reasons Why Digital X-Rays Are Better Than Traditional Ones

Ā 

Over the years, dentistry has improved both clinical practices and technology. Digital x-ray equipment, such as the XTG Hand-held Digital X-Ray from Digital Doc, has contributed to overall better patient care. In this article, youā€™ll discover why digital x-rays are better than traditional ones.

Less Radiation Exposure

All forms of radiographic imaging require a degree of radiation in order to capture what lies beneath the skin. Medically, the levels of radiation to which a patient is exposed during x-ray are regarded as safe and extra precautions. Youā€™re required to wear a lead apron to prevent radiation exposure.

Digital x-rays take radiation reduction to a whole new level since the equipment needs just 20 percent of the amount of radiation that a traditional x-ray machine needs. Patients have more reason to celebrate when you upgrade your traditional x-ray machine to a digital one like the Hand-held Digital X-Ray device made by Digital Doc.

Cost-Effectiveness

Traditional x-rays are costly because a lot of specialized materials, such as chemicals and film, to develop x-ray images are needed. These materials increase the cost of getting x-ray images taken in the course of receiving dental care.

However, digital x-rays are more cost-effective because there is no need for extra material. The digital images are viewed on a computer or television screen, and they are stored as digital files. You can decrease your overhead when you upgrade your dental x-ray machine.

Digital X-Rays Are Quicker

In todayā€™s world, we can get almost anything with a push of a button. Patients may feel frustrated if they have to take more time out of their day to get dental x-rays.Ā 

Digital x-rays like the XTG Hand-held X-Ray save you and your patient a lot of time since the x-ray images can be viewed immediately. This modern equipment makes it possible for a definitive diagnosis to be made all within the same visit. Furthermore, patients will be able to start treatment immediately.

Digital X-rays Provide More Accurate Diagnosis

Traditional x-rays heavily rely on the user to capture clear images that your dentist will use to diagnose you. There is also more room for error when using a traditional x-ray machine.Ā 

Digital x-rays are a different story. Numerous high-quality images can be taken instantly using the XTG Hand-Held X-Ray device. You can zoom in or out, enhance the clarity of the images, or manipulate them in any way. Human error is, therefore, greatly minimized when digital x-rays are used by your team.

As you can see, there are numerous benefits for your patients and your dental office when you start using digital x-rays. If you would like to learn more about how to make this transition, contact us to schedule a virtual demo.Ā 

Boosting Profitability in Your Dental Practice in 2020

Boosting Profitability in Your Dental Practice in 2020

All You Need to Know About Boosting Profitability in Your Dental Practice in 2020

One of the best goals you can set for your dental practice in 2020 is to boost profitability. Improved profitability will not only mean that you can afford to attract and retain the best staff, but you will also be able to create the dental office of your dreams. Boosting profitability can take two forms. One is to grow your practice by attracting more patients. The second way is to optimize every aspect of the dental practice to get maximum value from all the resources at your disposal. Consider some of the following recommendations on how to boost profitability in your dental practice.

Emphasize Same-Day Treatment

You can increase case acceptance and profitability by making same-day treatment plans available to your patients. For example, seeing a patient who comes in for their routine dental cleaning and then deep cavities. This patient can be given the option of getting a filling that same day.

The advantage of same-day treatment options is that they negate the need to make future appointments. Appointments always come with the possibility of cancellation or postponement. Therefore, profitability will be boosted once patients are presented with the option of having a dental problem dealt with immediately.

Use Pictures, Not Words

Case acceptance can also be boosted by taking the approach of saying fewer words and using more pictures during case presentation. In this regard, the best intraoral camera from Digital DOC can go a long way in providing high-quality images that can be displayed on HD flat screen T.V’s in the office. The crystal-clear images will show the patient the extent of their dental problem. When a patient sees the extent of tooth decay, then the patient will be more willing to accept the treatment plan recommended. Using Digital Doc’s intraoral cameras allows you to See More, Do More.

Give Everyone an Appointment

Profitability can be improved when patients leave the office with their next visit already scheduled. The best way to pull this off, especially when faced with patients who donā€™t have any specific dental problem, is by having the front desk staff explain why it is important to schedule regular visits to retain peak dental health. The staff member can then proceed to recommend two appointment options from which the patient is encouraged to select the one they prefer. In this way, you will have eased the appointment-setting process while giving the patient autonomy to select the best timing for that appointment. If handled successfully, profitability will start to improve as those appointments kick in.

Improve Your Appointment Confirmation Process

A significant portion of productivity (and potential profitability) is lost to canceled appointments and no-shows. By having an effective appointment confirmation system, a lot of this lost productivity can be avoided.

For example, research has shown that text messaging produces better results than sending voicemail messages. To start, send a message the same day the appointment is made. Then follow up with another message requesting confirmation two weeks before the appointment date. Next, send another message 48 hours before, then 24 hours before and lastly 2 hours before the appointment. This way, any patient who cannot make their appointment will let the office know, and that time slot can be allocated to another patient. This way, profitability will be boosted because the entire workday will be fully utilized.

Provide a Variety of Payment Options

Some people are hesitant to accept recommended treatment plans because of the needed treatment’s price. You can overcome this barrier by providing as many payment options as possible. For example, you could start by accepting all insurance plans in addition to credit and debit cards.

Payment plans (for those without insurance) and payment offers for those who can pay in advance can also increase case acceptance and boost profitability.

Remove Patientsā€™ Fears

A number of patients may be reluctant to accept treatment that you propose because they are apprehensive about the dental procedure. You can forestall these concerns during the case presentation by using simple language to describe the procedure.

For example, use the words basic, simple, or routine when talking about the dental procedure. If the procedure is a complex one, inform the patient that you perform it frequently and that he or she shouldnā€™t have fears. This way, the patient will be put at ease, and they will be more likely to accept the treatment proposed. With improved case acceptance comes increased profitability for the dental office.

Upgrade Your Equipment

Upgrading your dental equipment is arguably one of the best things that you can do to boost profitability. When you get the best dental camera, the best handheld dental x-ray device, and other digital dental equipment from Digital Doc, you are in a good place to present cases. Presenting this way will put the patient at the center of advocating for treatment. With the best equipment, you will be able to take efficiency to a higher level, which will translate into profitability for the office.

As you can see, there are many things you can do to boost profitability come 2020. Use the tips above to get creative and engage Digital DOC as your partner on matters of dental equipment, especially for the best dental cameras, handheld x-ray devices, transillumination devices, and all their accessories. We are ready to work with you to make 2020 your best year ever, so contact us today to schedule a virtual demonstration of our Digital Doc products.

Fresh Start in the New Year

Get a Fresh Start in the New Year

The new year has officially begun! As we kick off 2020, you may start to think about how you can achieve your dental practice’s new goals. If 2019 wasn’t your strongest, you may take this as an opportunity to start fresh. Either way, we want to help you make 2020 your best year yet. So, how can you make this year top all the rest? We recommend upgrading your dental equipment. There are so many benefits to upgrading to the latest dental technology. Here are some of the key reasons why it is wise for practice owners to set a goal to update their dental equipment this New Year.

Increased Productivity for the New Year

Increased productivity at the dental practice is the first benefit of updating your dental equipment. For example, when you update your intraoral cameras, they will integrate seamlessly with your office management system. The captured images will be sent immediately to the digital files of the patient. Digital Docs IRIS X80, the best intraoral camera on the market, offers plug and play capabilities. You no longer have to worry about how to use your intraoral camera. It’s ready to go when you are. This improved productivity can allow you to grow your dental practice and serve more patients each day as a result of the time freed when most processes are automated. You can work less and have more free time without having to let go of your current patients. New technology truly allows you to See More, and Do More.

fresh start in the new year

Reduced Equipment Failure Risks

Updating your dental equipment eliminates the risk that work will be interrupted by equipment malfunctions or failures. Outdated digital equipment stands a higher chance of failing. This is because its complex operating systems will struggle to cope with the demands placed upon them. In contrast, updated equipment works effortlessly since all its systems are primed to deliver peak performance.

Attract New Patients

A big selling point for new patients is the aesthetics of your dental office. If a patient walks into your office and everything is outdated (including your equipment), they’ll think that your skills are outdated too. When you upgrade your dental technology, your patients will appreciate that you are investing in your business and they’ll also like the fact that you keep up with the latest trends.Ā 

As you can see, investing in new dental technology will pay off. Patients will always choose an office that’s updated over an outdated office. Our Digital Doc team is happy to help you in this process. Contact us today and schedule a virtual or an in-office demo!

The Importance of Dental X-Rays

The Importance of Dental X-Rays

The Importance of Dental X-Rays From Digital Doc

A visual examination of your mouth isnā€™t enough for dentists to start the necessary treatment. Consequently, dentists utilize an array of diagnostic tools, such as radiographic images. Dentists rely on these x-rays to look at what lies beneath your gum-line, such as the roots of your teeth and the surrounding bone. So, when you see your dentist using the XTG Handheld X-Ray machine from Digital Doc, you’ll know that they’re doing everything they can to provide the best treatment possible. In this article, you’ll learn the importance of dental x-rays, how often you should have them taken, and their level of safety.

X-Rays Are Invaluable During Diagnosis

As already mentioned, dental x-rays allow your dentist to take a look at what is within and between your teeth, something that isnā€™t possible with just the naked eye.

Dental x-rays arenā€™t only useful during routine dental checkups to ensure that you donā€™t have any dental disease; they are also immensely helpful during the diagnosis of various diseases. For example, HD x-rays taken using the XTG X-Ray device can be instrumental in helping your dentist see impacted wisdom teeth, abscesses, cysts, and many other issues.

Many people rarely see their doctor, but they visit the dentist regularly. This situation has made dental x-rays important aids in diagnosing overall health problems, such as osteoporosis. Digital Doc’s handheld digital x-ray will show whether or not you are losing bone dentistry in your jaw or other surrounding areas.Ā 

Dental x-rays also play an important role when dentists, orthodontists, and other dental care professionals are creating a treatment plan. For example, when you are due to undergo dental implant surgery, the dentist will use the x-ray images to plan the surgery and select the best placement for the implant.

How Often Should X-Rays Be Taken?

No two patients are alike, so it isnā€™t easy to make a blanket statement regarding how often you should undergo dental x-rays. For that reason, it is prudent for you to talk to your dentist so that he or she can assess your dental health and recommend how often you may need dental x-rays.

For most patients, several types of dental x-rays, such as panoramic x-rays, periapical x-rays, and bitewing x-rays will be taken if you are a new patient at a dental office so that your first exam can give the dentist a clear picture of where you stand in terms of your dental health. Thereafter, the x-rays will not be as comprehensive as the first set since there will be a baseline upon which future exams and treatment will be based.

Dental X-Ray Safety

Every patient and parent is concerned about x-ray safety. After all, radiation exposure carries some risks, and that is why patients are given lead aprons and lead collars to protect delicate body organs from radiation. Most modern equipment is designed to limit radiation exposure, and dentists only order x-rays when the situation warrants such images, so you should have no worries on those few times when these images are required.

Nevertheless, some dentists have taken patient safety a degree higher by switching to handheld digital x-rays, such as the XTG. This device hugely reduces the radiation to which you are exposed, so you have nothing to fear if your dentist uses this chairside device. The odds of getting the best diagnostic and routine checkup images increase significantly if your dentist is using the XTG Handheld X-Ray from Digital Doc since the images captured will be crystal-clear. So, the next time you visit your dentist, ask him or her to use this digital device for reliable x-rays upon which your dental health can be determined.

Get to Know Brett Wilson

In honor of Digital Docā€™s 20th Anniversary, weā€™re featuring some of our teamā€™s finest. We interviewed Brett, the President of Digital Doc, to discuss his journey with the company. For more information about Digital Docā€™s team or Digital Doc products, please contact us today!

Brettā€™s Journey With Digital Doc

Brett started working with Digital Doc in 2001 during his last year of college. It was the ADA event in Kansas City, Missouri, and they were selling through independents at the time. When Brett graduated from school, he took an 11 state territory in the Northcentral US and helped open dealer networks selling through major dealers. Some of these dealers included Henry Schein and Patterson Dental. After leaving the family business to sell equipment for Patterson, managing a branch, and a couple of start-ups, Brett came back to the family business in 2013.Ā Ā 

Today, Brett spends most of his time in the field with Digital Doc’s Territory Managers helping them become more successful and also visits with dealer partners. Brett emphasizes the culture at Digital Doc that is hands-on in the field versus behind a desk at the corporate office. Brett wilson

Outside of Digital Doc

Brett has many hobbies and passions. His number one is Faith. Involvement with his church is extremely important to Brett. Another big part of Brett’s life is family. Brett lives in Tulsa, OK. He’s been married for 13 years and has three children. His two oldest children are eight years old, Kade and Kayla. Brett’s youngest is five, and his name is Gage. Brett mentions that all three are very active. When Brett isn’t helping out with his church or spending quality time with his family, he enjoys golfing, hunting, cooking, fitness-triathlon training, playing music, and coaching kids sports.Ā 

Brett Wilson President of Digital DocPersonal Growth & Growth as a Company

Brett is most proud of Digital Doc’s ability to withstand the changes in the industry, maintain a high-end product that matters to the growth of dental practices while focusing on a smaller line of equipment maintaining the market share we have in the intraoral camera space. Brett jokes that his gray hair is evidence of personal growth. He says, “You grow from your trials and your achievements. We have built a new team, and we’re proud to have been willing to see the changes and adapt as necessary so that we could continue to grow.”

How Dental Technology Has Evolved

There have been rapid changes in dental technology since Brett first started in the dental industry 19 years ago. Brett was selling developer and fixer at that time. While technology continues to change, Brett says that Digital Doc is passionate about seeing the technology integrated into the dental offices. Brett points out that making products today that do not require a manual is exciting because we help these offices use the products they have. Digital Doc’s latest liquid lens autofocus camera, X80, does just that. He says all you have to do is put it in your hands, and it does the work for you.

Digital Doc President

What Separates Digital Docs From Similar Products

Brett points out that consumers today know the difference between standard definition and high definition. The consumer market is proving this by owning $1,600 cell phones and 55″ TVs everywhere we turn. He says that patients today need to SEE what you are saying with an image that is crystal clear versus being told what to do. This is why Digital Doc‘s intraoral cameras will continue to have a leading place in the industry. He says patients know the difference and expect it. The line of “the image is good enough” is only a justification not to make an investment – we as the consumer would not put up with a fuzzy image in any other part of our lives.Ā 

Tips for Dental Offices & Teams

Brett recommends that you put a camera in each provider’s hands and commit to using it on every patient. Have a contest on who took the best image for that week and celebrate it. What did that patient decide to do as a result of seeing what is needed? Then, take before and after photos and celebrate your work. Brett knows from experience that this builds tremendous value.Ā 

Best Practices for Using Your Handheld X-ray

Best Practices for Your Handheld x-ray - Digital Doc

A handheld X-ray is a battery-powered, portable x-ray device. These hand-held X-ray devices serve the primary purpose of taking intraoral x-rays. In this modern wave of technological advancement, everything has gone portable. We’ve seen increasing usage of hand-held X-ray devices in dental practices. That’s why we’re sharing the best practices for using your handheld x-ray device.

With this increase, some questions have been raised about the safety of handheld x-ray devices. Digital Docā€™s XTG Handheld X-ray can be used just about anywhere!

How to Successfully Start a Dental Practice

How to successfully start a dental practice - Digital Doc

Once youā€™ve received your licenses to practice dentistry, you can start your own dental practice. Many of us know that being an excellent dentist and being a good business owner are two completely different ball games. Dental school may teach you how to be the best at your job, but it certainly does not teach you how to run a business. However, that does not mean you cannot be good at both! With proper preparation, knowledge, and tools, you can become an excellent dentist and a successful business person at the same time!

We want you to have a successful practice, which is why we have compiled a list of tips for you:

  • Do your homework: It is recommended that you connect with existing dental practice owners and ask them about the challenges they faced in the beginning and how theyā€™ve overcome those challenges. This will give you a good idea for what you need to expect.Ā 
  • Have a solid business plan: It is very important to be clear about your goals and how you aim to achieve them. Youā€™ll need to decide who in the market you intend to target and how you aim to achieve that.Ā 
  • Choose the right location: The old saying, “location is key,” couldn’t be truer. It’s so important that you open your dental practice in an area you think will be successful. Do your research on the different demographics and types of businesses in your area.

How to Successfully Start a Dental Practice

Starting your own dental practice is a good idea if it is done carefully and with good preparation. If you really want to differentiate your business from competitors and provide unmatched service and quality for customer satisfaction, you should take a look at Digital Doc‘s intraoral cameras.
