A patient comes into their local dentist office with a cracked molar. Rather than asking questions about treatment, they’re more concerned with how much it’s going to cost, afraid they can’t afford it. It’s no surprise that 59% of adults have forgone dental care due to cost.

Access to dental care is a major challenge for dental professionals. According to a survey of thousands of dental practices, the average case acceptance rate is underwhelming at best—for established patients, it’s 50-60%, and for new patients, 25%-35%.

It doesn’t add up. It’s time to improve access to care!

Offering Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is proven to increase case acceptance rates, patient satisfaction, and production. Stop leaving patients underserved and money on the table. Join this webinar to learn how practices like yours have already started tapping into this opportunity.

3D printing plays a valuable role in the dental lab at Precision Ceramics. With the use of 3D printing on the rise, the purchase of an Eden260V PolyJet printer from Stratasys was a necessary addition to our facility. The versatility of the 3D printer has had a very meaningful impact on the work flow of the lab. Being able to quickly print out models, surgical guides, anatomical models, partial denture frameworks and more, has saved valuable time and money. Having the ability to accurately print out verification jigs approved for in-mouth use gives us the ability to check on fit, form and function before approving the final product. The use of 3D printing in the dental lab is a more vital tool than ever before.

What You Will Learn:
• How 3D printing works in the laboratory setting.
• What applications work best with the Stratasys Eden260V.
• The many ways in which 3D printing can help streamline work flow in the lab.
• What does it take to maintain a 3D printer?

Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning has not changed much in years, until recently. Three dimensional imaging has become easier to implement in the practice and more useful than ever. Understand how utilization of in-office Cone Beam imaging is changing the way we see our patients. Dr. Graham explains how to utilize CBCT technology to become better diagnosticians and communicators, while improving patient flow and treatment. Dr. Graham will give an in depth discussion of the relative radiation risks of 3D vs. 2D imaging and how to share that information with referring doctors and potential patients.

In this webinar, we will explore an in depth clinical case review of Cone Beam 3D imaging. The more we see, the more we know, and the fewer mistakes we make. Better and more information for diagnostic and treatment-planning sessions, leads to fewer mistakes. We build stronger relationships with patients than ever before. The i-CAT® allows me to control all of the variables of the image, from the field of view to exposure time, pixel size and resolution. 3D puts the power of precision in your hands with direct access to advanced 3D treatment tools for Orthodontics. Join us for this in depth orthodontic clinical case review session.
