Intraoral cameras are essential tools for patient care, documentation, and the overall patient experience. Their use has been shown to increase case acceptance by allowing patients to see what their providers see, thereby creating a sense of value and urgency for following through with treatment recommendations. Integrating intraoral imaging is crucial across various business aspects, including case acceptance, patient education, claims support, and teledentistry.
Teledentistry is revolutionizing dental care by enabling remote consultations, improving patient access, and enhancing the overall patient experience. This innovative approach leverages digital communication technologies to provide dental care, consultation, education, and treatment planning without the need for in-person visits. By integrating teledentistry into traditional dental practices, providers can extend their reach, reduce appointment wait times, and offer more flexible scheduling options.
In this course attendees will delve into the reasons for incorporating intraoral cameras, the appropriate timing for their use, and the best practices for maximizing their effectiveness. Additionally, the role of teledentistry will be explored. The instructor will share tips and techniques for capturing high-quality images through hands-on applications, ensuring competence and confidence in clinical adoption.
