THE DIGITAL STREAM

It’s normal to experience an occasional long day at work, but if leaving your dental office on time has become a thing of the past, maybe it’s time to rethink your day-to-day workflow. To ensure your dental practice runs more smoothly, here are seven tips that can increase your efficiency and help you leave work on time.

Digital Intraoral Solutions, or DIOS, has been proven to provide diagnostic advantages and accelerate workflows. Its influence has become a central part of today’s dentistry, creating a better experience for both the clinician and patient. Due to its growing acceptance, the world of DIOS is fast reaching a critical point in its adoption.

With the evolution of technology, integrating digital workflow embodies the phrase “work smarter, not harder.” Making the laboratory workflow more digital allows clinicians to save time and money without sacrificing a high-quality outcome. With a digital workflow, the delivery of restoration is not only quicker but also decreases the chances of corrections and remakes.

Every dental professional will have certain patients who– no matter how much advice and encouragement they receive–­ do not improve their home oral hygiene routines. While it may be frustrating to repeatedly give the same guidance, most patients are not choosing to ignore you; they either forget what you’ve said or unable to change their routine behaviors.

As is true for every healthcare professional, dental practitioners cannot treat what they can’t see. Good visualization of the problem presented by each patient and precise information on the existing anatomy are both essential for successful treatment, regardless of the type of dentistry required. An array of imaging systems is now available that deliver minute details needed to ensure safe, effective and predictable care for various types of patients.
