Digital dentistry: Is this the future of dentistry?

Image
The connotations of being past the year 2020 bring about thoughts of futuristic concepts as suggested by movies, the Internet, and a vast array of media.  Movies and books, set in a time period only a few decades forward, have portrayed a life filled with advanced medicine, travel, engineering, manufacturing, and even rapid and simple food production. Yet, when we reach that future date, we observe that technology doesn’t change as fast as our minds imagine. Does dentistry today — often termed “digital dentistry” — represent the high-tech, easy-to-implement solutions that were imagined and written about 30 years ago or even last year? Clinicians with decades of experience or the student of dental history can look back at the advances in dentistry and state clearly that the dental profession has experienced an exciting amount of technological growth. Yet in comparison to medicine, biomedical engineering, automotive and aeronautics, rapid manufacturing, electron...

How Can We Make a Dentist Promotion in Ethical Mode?

Image
It is increasingly common to see particularly attractive advertisements for dental shops that promise seas and mountains at bargain prices. Notwithstanding that then, systematically, most of the patients who come from them go out with a loan of several thousand euros ... Now beyond the quality of performance that these structures can provide, there are 2 aspects to reflect on: These centers have no business risk: advance payment of benefits and iron contracts that protect them from any legal event. Patients who go to them are of a medium / high social bracket so much so that they can also obtain financing of tens of thousands of euro. This means that trying to compete with them at low prices without having an internal salesman capable of selling to the Patient other services to raise the budget and have him sign a real sales contract (which is very different from an estimate) is a battle lost at the start ... or rather a suicide! But it also means that it is not only the poore...

Image
Free Dental Implant Center, founded in January 2012 with the mission of offering dental care at the highest levels in Costa Rica (the so-called dental tourism) with significant savings that make care accessible to all, is pleased to celebrate 8 years of activity. How the idea was born. It all started 8 years ago when having spent for me and my family so much money for years on dental care to be redone, found ourselves again in need of resorting to important and expensive treatments. It is at that point that we thought of looking abroad, where we knew we could save money. We have therefore carried out researches of structures that gave serious guarantees and we turned to this team of doctors; given the success of the treatments and the personal satisfaction we said that we could have saved many other people too. This is how a new Dental Tourism Clinic was born and with an office in Guanacaste, the beach area of Costa Rica. What we do / how we work Our purpose was ... and...

And what consequences should it have? " Read below and I'll explain exactly what I'm talking about. There are many variables to keep in mind before choosing whether to be treated abroad and at which clinic, however here I want to focus on one aspect in particular - a secret that no clinic abroad has ever revealed before so openly. It is essential that you know it if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises in the budget after deciding to leave to treat your teeth abroad.
