Laboratory Technical Tip:

Predictable Results Achieved with Digital Photography

Communication as we know it is a critical element that is needed between the dental practitioner and dental laboratory in order to achieve the desired outcome. Visual images are a key part of this communication and provide the dental technician with valuable information about the patient.

Photos not only serve as a practical case tool but also allow the laboratory technician to have a better connection with the patient and a higher level of involvement with the dentistry case. Images of the actual dental patient versus a stone model, especially in an anterior case, are a key component needed in the fabrication process.

The Northern Dental Alliance will be at the St. Paul (MN) Midwinter Meeting. Our consultants can help you practice fearless dentistry!

Dentists, when is a financial advisor working in your best interest? Only one of these terms, fiduciary or suitability, reflects the highest level of protection for your investments.

As a fee-only financial advisor and professional wealth building consultant, Rick Epple CFP® of Epple Financial Advisors recommends dentists understand the difference and know how to navigate to the best planner. The responsibility your advisor has to you and your financial interests should be more important than any other entity.
