If it’s been some time since you’ve visited the dentist’s office, you may be surprised to note how many computers are in use. From front office staff to hygienists and even the dentists, computers assist your dental office in providing the very best care for you and your family.
You probably know the front office staff uses computers to keep track of appointments, store your personal history and compile information about your dental visits, but did you know your dentist also uses computers to provide images of your teeth so you can take part in understanding proposed treatments?
For example, at the New York City offices of Dr. Michael Iott, your first visit is a comprehensive oral evaluation and a chance for Dr. Iott to fully understand your past and present dental and medical information. Various high-tech instruments diagnose your oral health, and many of these instruments are digital and rely on computers for operation.
Digital imaging,
Diagnodent decay detection, use of an
intraoral camera for superior oral visualization,
periodontal probing,
oral cancer screening,
a thorough cleaning, a full dental
examination, digital
morphing for on-screen smile design, and
computerized charting are all part of your first visit and computers play a big part in bringing all of these high tech services to you to provide the very best treatment plan in the most modern setting.
So the next time you’re in your dentist’s waiting room, have a look around and you may be pleasantly surprised to see how computers help your dentist to provide the efficiency and care you deserve and expect.
