Growing Trends in Dentistry
Dr. Benson believes that the growing trends in dentistry are the continued growth of dental service organizations (DSOs), new technologies and techniques, and an increase in patient care. He is most excited about robotics, 3D scans, and new technologies in the implant space. However, he is also nervous about how much further independent dentists will be able to go with the pressures they face.
Investing in Technologies
Dr. Benson recommends that practices invest in technologies that make it easier for patients to get all their care done in one day and have extended hours. This helps to meet patient expectations for convenience and accessibility. Investing in new technologies also makes it possible to keep up with patient demands for the latest in dental services.
Changing Patient Expectations
Dr. Benson discussed how patient expectations are changing for dental practices. Patients are looking for more convenience and demand more implant services. They are also becoming more aware of the importance of dental care and how it affects their systemic health. Practices need to cater to these changing expectations to remain competitive and meet the needs of their patients.
Conclusion
Dr. Benson’s insights provide invaluable information for dental practices looking to stay ahead. By investing in new technologies and offering extended hours, practices can meet patient demands and improve the patient experience. As patient expectations continue to evolve, practices must adapt to stay competitive and provide the highest level of care.
