Simplifeye Connect

Described as a “Virtual Practice in a Box,” Connect builds on Simplifeye’s Amplify live chat platform to create a seamless, billable telehealth platform. The process begins when the patient interacts with the Amplify 24/7 live chat platform on the practice website. From there, the practice can obtain consent from the patient and collect billing information, before placing the patient in a virtual waiting room and alerting the dentist via text message. The system allows the dentists to connect to the patient via a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform that displays key information for the doctor and supports note taking and billing.

Why this platform stands out:

While the system is designed to facilitate virtual appointments, it is guided by human interactions throughout the workflow, allowing for unique interactions and customized patient management. The Amplify live chat solution is operated by professionals with knowledge of dental care and the practices they are representing. The Connect solution then provides a seamless way for clinicians to see those patients, manage and track key patient information and clinical details, and then bill for the telehealth appointment from any device with a web browser.

iTero Element 5D

The latest model of intraoral scanner from Align Technology, the iTero Element 5D combines a trio of scanning technologies to provide both digital impressions and a way to detect and monitor interproximal caries above the gingiva. Designed to help clinicians optimize orthodontic and restorative workflows, the scanner captures precise, full-color images using 3D scan data, color intraoral photos, and a new near infrared imaging (NIRI) technology. Using the iTero TimeLapse software, patient scans can be compared over time, allowing clinicians to track caries progression. The Element 5D can reportedly capture a full-arch scan in as little as 60 seconds, and the system is designed to work with software applications for clinical analysis and treatment outcome simulations.

Why this scanner is something new:

The NIRI technology is said to be capable of scanning the internal structure of teeth in real-time, so digital impressions include a digital 3D map of the patient’s dentition, as well as data about the tooth structure, allowing for enhanced visualization and improved patient communication about clinical findings. With an integrated intraoral camera as well, the system is designed to be a powerful tool for any dental practice.

Virtual Office

Designed to keep dental professionals connected with their practice and patients when they’re away from the office, Virtual Office offers a number of tools that allow clinicians to see patients and manage their practice and patients from anywhere. The platform includes Virtual Visits for teledentistry appointments, two-way text communications with patients, a remote phone system that allows you to interface with your office phones from anywhere making it possible to use a personal phone for practice business without having to give your number to patients, and access to practice and patient data remotely.

Why this solution is noteworthy:

Virtual Office is designed to provide access to not just practice and patient data from anywhere, but to allow you and your patients to access each other from anywhere in a secure, HIPAA-compliant manner. The solutions allow patients to reach the practice when it’s not open for treatments, and for the staff to interact with those patients remotely regardless of whether or not those patients prefer to communicate via video, email, text, or phone.

[Primer]

Universal Primer

The primer contains dual coupling agents, 10-MDP and silane methacrylate, for increased bond strength to zirconium, alumina, glass ceramics, metal alloys, and composites. It’s easy to use as no pre-treatment of the restoration is required, making cementation quick and efficient, with only 60 seconds between application and dry stages. It can also be used with adhesive and self-adhesive resin cement to achieve maximum bond strength for cases that require additional retention.

Dental Marketing Dashboard

A data tool for dental marketing, the DMD interface delivers real-time access to key performance indicators, including new patient source and return on investment. The DMD is designed to address challenges faced by dentists and practice consultants, such as how to easily identify and monitor dental marketing results in real-time. This tool addresses these challenges by delivering practice statistics, including patient value (annual and lifetime); patient acquisition cost; and ROI by tactic (SEO, PPC, social media, etc). It can also calculate your team’s ‘batting average’-the percentage of calls that are converted into appointments. Dental practices do not need to be an AIM Dental Marketing client in order to take advantage of the DMD.
