New technology impresses people in different ways. Some people have to have all the latest gadgets in their life and expect that from those who they make any major purchases for products or service. On the opposite extreme are those who are highly skeptical of "new fangled ideas" or do not see the benefit for themselves.
In between are those of us who carefully learn and try out new ideas. We do test trials and compare the results obtained with the new versus the old way. We also cautiously weigh the cost versus the benefits. When we do decide to make any change or transition we are confident that we can justify our investment as well as our effort and time. Taking the "sensible approach" one step further is reflected in our decision to maintain those older products and techniques that still have validity. Rather than an abrupt revolution, we evolve by offering and utilizing both some new and some of the old materials and methods.
We get a fair amount of new patients in our office that have not been regular dental patients. Those who have not been in our office before are often impressed by several of the steps that we take and the equipment we use. The number one thing that they comment about is how we use the intraoral camera. We use it frequently for exams and also for procedures allowing before / during/ after treatment to be seen by the patient. In addition to the visual image, they are always impressed with our style of presentation. We aim to be informative and clear to understand. We will only share "the gory details" on request! By the way, our television monitors are not large flat screens. The classic ones are still working fine.
There are many other examples of new equipment, instrumentation and materials in use in our office. I do a tremendous amount of continuing education. I attend classes, reads journals and current textbooks. I see many classes on videos. In addition to researching and learning new techniques and skills, I have also tested quite a few ideas in his own mouth. With the help from other dentists and also from my team, I have tested many types of dental materials including tooth shade restorations and various adhesive cements. I also personally try numerous home care products at-home tooth whitening methods.
Another group of new patients that we impress are those that see the value of our sensible approach.
We do not hype nor do we over-sell. We always try to be helpful and fair in explaining both advantages and disadvantages. Whether we are purchasing some major new equipment or redecorating our office, we consider carefully every aspect of the decision.
