Chairside Connection: Digital impressions and the impact on patients

May 16, 2023
Alicia Murria, RDH, Philips KOL, talks about the many advantages of digital scans and the impact they can have on patient education and case acceptance.

Dental pros: always take advantage of the technology available to you. Patients will be impressed with what they see, and will often become more engaged in their care and healthier as a result. Digital impressions are a big part of this technology boom.

I recently talked with Philips KOL Alicia Murria, RDH, who has experienced the benefits of technology firsthand. She's seen "hopeless" patients become healthy and interested in what's possible when they're able to see what their oral health-care provider can see.

Alicia also points out the cost advantages. Technology streamlines many procedures, thus allowing you to do more dentistry.

She and I discuss what we've experienced, what we've learned, and why we highly recommend that you stay on top of the latest technologies.
