Improved Chart
Accuracy
Intra-oral images provide precise records
of conditions directly in a patient’s electronic chart. Many dental
groups use intra-oral images to supplement insurance claims and satisfy
patient record requirements. Extra-oral cameras can also be used
to photograph patients for identification purposes.
Improved Patient
Education & Increased Treatment Plan Acceptance
Never underestimate the power of visual
presentation. Giving the patient the ability to view close-ups of
problem areas will positively affect their attitudes on oral hygiene and
their decisions on proposed treatment plans. Extra-oral cameras can
also be used to capture smile view images and demonstrate the need for
aesthetic procedures.
Enhanced Communications
and Patient Care
Effective interaction with advanced technology
has the potential to improve provider and patient communications.
Such effective interaction can influence patient attitudes and behavior,
thereby improving outcomes and long-term dental health.
