Xdr Digital X-ray Systems From Www.dentalsensors.com
In this article you'll learn how an XDR Digital X-Ray System could have a profound impact on your dental practice.
Before we do that, let's take a look at the impact that film x-rays are already having.
We won't talk about the space that your darkroom takes up in your office, or the problems associated with processing film and working with chemicals. We won't even talk about the requirement from the National Health Information Infrastructure that all dental offices go digital by 2014.
No. I want to focus today on what I believe to have the biggest impact on your bottom line time.
It takes on average, about 5 minutes to develop a film x-ray. Let's be conservative and say that you produce 20 a day. That's already over an hour it's cost you. Assuming you operate 20 days a month, that's more than 33 hours a month, or almost 400 hours a year. That's 10 weeks!
How much is 10 weeks worth of film processing costing your practice?
Consider this, too: Have you ever lost an x-ray or had to mess around duplicating them? If you've been in business for any length of time, then I'm sure the answer's "Yes".
Oh... And I bet you just LOVE the whole filing and archival systems involved in film!
Your patients will also appreciate that digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation than film. In fact, you'd need to take 28,000 digital x-rays to expose someone to the equivalent radiation as 5 minutes in the sun. Many doctors are advertising this as a unique selling point due to their use of digital sensors.
The number one reason in my mind why dentists across the country are switching to digital x-ray systems is the instant results. We've already seen the impact that film processing has on your business and I'm sure you'll agree that cutting out this wasted time would make a difference already.
You can blow up the x-rays, adjust the contrast and check for caries then show it to the patient. This allows you to make your case presentation on the spot and get your patient involved in the process. By doing this, they tend to feel more comfortable about their treatment plans and happier about investing in their dental health.
You can also email out the x-rays to insurance companies, referring doctors and colleagues. That way, you should get paid faster.
The XDR Digital X-Ray System can bring you so much more!
Let's take a quick look at some of the benefits of the XDR Software.
A single button push gives you caries enhancement, which make the caries more visible. Recently the ADA said that 20% of caries go undetected. Not once you're using an XDR System!
There's also a soft tissue filter that gives powerful endo enhancement.
Add to this the versatile grid and implant overlays and you have a tool that helps you to truly enhance your patient care whilst you focus on performing outstanding dentistry.
What about image quality?
The XDR Sensor is one of the few on the market that can see both sides of a penny. Of more use to you as a dentist is that it's also one of the few sensors on the market that can clearly see a number 6 file! This is accomplished through industry leading contrast and spatial resolution that will help you to find more problems more quickly and support the growth of your business.
The XDR Software is extremely versatile. It'll bridge to all the major practice management systems such as Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Softdent, Dentamax and so on, and can also be used with most intraoral cameras and digital cameras. It can even connect to most digital panos.
XDR Software is very easy to use so will allow you to focus on giving the best patient care that you know how.
Finally, we have the XDR Sensors.
These USB devices connect to any modern PC with a USB port and are available in 2 sizes:
- Size 1 is typically used for anterior shots and pedo
- And size 2 for bitewings and pa's.
They both have rounded corners for patient comfort and are one of the thinnest sensors on the market.
Both sensors come with durable, replaceable cables so if a cable is damaged, you won't have the additional cost of a new sensor.
Our sensors are waterproof. We had one doctor who dipped a competitors sensor in cleaning solution and it ruined the sensor not ours!
Most other sensors have to be plugged into a digital interface box which has to be carried to each xray not ours, thanks to the unique plug and play USB design.
By now, I'm sure you're wondering what this all costs.
The XDR system is certainly affordable. A typical system would consist of a #1 and #2 sensor, both of which come with a two year manufacturer's warranty, plus we have a Hardware replacement program available.
The software is multi-user, so you could install it on more than one machine.
You'll be able to capture x-rays, panos, digital camera pictures and even scan into the XDR system.
Even including Internet Installation, the system usually comes in at about half the price of our competitors.
Let's take a step back and look at the return on investment.
To take and process 20 x-rays a day costs you somewhere in the region of $839 per month.
Our XDR Digital X-Ray Systems start at only $150 per month, which represents an immediate saving of close to $700 per month without even considering the intangible benefits!
By now, I'm sure that, you like me, agree that the XDR Digital X-Ray System would be a valuable asset to your practice. To receive sample pricing and a brochure check out our resource box.
Remember, with XDR you can focus on the dentistry and leave the digital imaging to us.
