Dentistry is a new and constantly evolving field. Known to your patients as a tech-savvy profession, most of us understand the importance of our tools and machines, don’t we? While technologies like x-rays have been in use for several decades, several new entrants have simplified dental procedures, improved diagnostic accuracy and patient compliance, and assured better treatment outcomes.  We’ve got you some of the top technological tools and devices that are a must for your practice and can elevate it to the next level. Let’s take a look!

Designing a small dental clinic is challenging. However, with the right floor planning and suitable elements, even the smallest of dental clinics can be made comfortable and functional at the same time. Having a brief idea of what a small dental clinic interior design should include can help you discuss with your architect or interior designer.

Why Do Your Clinic Interiors Matter?

Not many dentists agree, but the interiors of your dental clinic make a huge difference to your practice. They are a powerful tool that helps create a suitable environment and ambience. Patients who come to a dentist are often nervous, apprehensive, or fearful. Appropriate dental clinic design concepts can be used as subtle mood modifiers and induce a sense of relaxation of calm in the patient’s mind. Clean, bright, modern interiors also create a positive vibe that instils trust in the minds of your patients and gives an immediate ‘feel good’ environment.

This is especially true in the field of dentistry. We have heard over and again that dentistry is believed to be a blend of 'science' and 'art'. However, dentists are not trained in business and management skills, making it difficult for them to run a profitable dental practise.

To improve and run our dental office successfully, you must understand the aspects that influence the so-called 'success' element in your clinic.

Payment processing and collection are crucial for any dental practice. Complicated payment processing results in the delayed collection and affects the clinic’s income. Though payment processing and collection usually happen after treatment completion, a glitch in your payment processing can hamper your clinic operations.

In most dental practices, payment collection is post-visit, which means that payment is collected from a patient after treatment is completed. Some clinics have now adopted ‘point of service collection’, which means that payment is collected from a patient before they leave the clinic. Despite these routine payment processes, a large majority of dental practices get overwhelmed by their receivables at the end of the month.
