Digital Office Administration and Patient Experience Technologies
We’ve shared details about several leading dental technologies we use in our Romeoville and Palos Heights offices, including electric drills, digital x-ray imaging, and even same-day crowns. We invest in these proven technologies to make your experience more comfortable and efficient. We keep our eyes on the latest dental industry developments so we can continue to invest in the right technologies at the right time.
You can find technology everywhere in our office, not just in the dental chair. Nearly all tools and processes have a digital component now. We use technology to improve everything from your check-in and visit experience to how we secure and store your records and communicate with other entities.
Digital Office Technologies We Use in Romeoville
There are a variety of reasons we invest in digital dental technologies beyond the dental chair. First and foremost, we do it for your comfort and convenience. We also do it to support our staff and maintain safety for all. Here are some of the technologies used in our offices.
Paperless Check-In
Ever since we re-opened after the COVID-19 closure in 2020, we’ve been using tablets for all of our paperwork, sanitized between every use, of course. We could’ve done without the COVID part, but this shift is a welcome change and one we’re happy to continue as a modern dental practice.
Digital Patient Record Retention
The days of massive filing cabinets and voluminous paper records are behind us. Electronic records are the way of the future, and we’re here for that change too. Electronic records allow for a tidier office with limitless space for digital information, and will definitely save some trees!
It also facilitates seamless communications with other practitioners (specifically for patient care) and clients alike. We stay up-to-date on notes from previous visits, x-ray images, payments, insurance information, etc. But don’t worry, we continue to keep your data safe and follow all Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.
Flat Screen TVs
You know we have to have some fun too. Our flat-screen TVs can help us take your mind off your worries and keep the kids occupied during your visit. You know us, we love a great conversation with our patients, but sometimes a little digital distraction can go a long way.
The Bottom Line on Dental Office Technologies
It’s really all about you. You know we love you like family, and that means making sure you have the latest and greatest technologies to make your visit as pleasant, safe, and sanitary as we possibly can. Next time you’re here, take a look around and ask us all of your questions about the dental and office technology that surrounds us. Of course, you can also call us anytime.
