The realm of dental care is a significant part of the healthcare service industry. Yet, there seems to be a noticeable gap in efforts and financial commitments aimed at improving the standard of care for dental patients. The key to growing a dental practice lies in enhancing the patient's journey, turning their fears and discomforts into positive experiences. It's worth noting that a staggering 75% of U.S. patients approach dental visits with anxiety.
Recently, there's been a trend among dentists to incorporate intraoral scanners. These gadgets, priced between $15,000 to $30,000, have a life expectancy of about 2.5 to 5 years. If we take an average cost of $22,000 and a lifespan of 3.5 years, the daily cost for a dentist is roughly $33. While these scanners efficiently produce digital impressions, they don't necessarily improve the patient's comfort or ease their anxieties. Moreover, they don't offer much to patients not in need of crown procedures.
On the other hand, there's the Opelaser PRO II, crafted with patient comfort in mind. This device, suitable for over 75% of general dental procedures, addresses patient concerns head-on, ensuring a pain-free and relaxed treatment. Plus, it aids in faster recovery. With a decade-long lifespan and minimal ongoing costs, its daily expense for a dentist is just $17. When compared to the intraoral scanner, the advantages of a CO2 laser machine are clear.
Laser treatments, already popular in dermatology and cosmetic surgery for their premium care, should be more recognized in dentistry. Introducing such advanced equipment can significantly reduce the common anxieties patients bring to a dental visit. Patients not only feel valued but those who've experienced laser treatments can vouch for its pain-reducing benefits. Investing in tools that majorly impact patient experiences can be a game-changer for dental practices. When dentists take the time to explain the value of their investments, it sets the stage for practice growth and success.
