ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS FOR DENTISTS TO ASK BEFORE INVESTING IN NEW TECHNOLOGY

Derek Seymour • Mar 17, 2020

The path to improving your dental practice presents multiple business and professional challenges. You will be faced with big decisions on budgets, and confusing choices on the equipment to purchase. You need to make the right decisions because today’s market leaves little margin for errors. Here are a few helpful tips for dentists to consider before investing in new technology:

1. WILL IT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PATIENT CARE?

Any investment that promises to benefit your patients is worth a closer look. Invest in technology that reduces the length of operations and makes procedures less painful. However, before purchasing the technology, take time to investigate its benefits. Beware of exaggerated claims. It is also worth noting that technologies that improve one area but undermine another are not worth the time or the effort.

2. WILL IT INCREASE THE SPEED AND QUALITY OF OPERATIONS?

The new upgrades will be worthwhile if they either streamline the operations in the dental clinic without downgrading the quality of service or if they enable members of your staff to perform their duties better. Be careful while looking at various technologies because manufacturers present their products in an attempt to sell. Scrutinize all the claims they make carefully and make sure the technology will have a positive impact on the dental practice.

3. WILL THERE BE A CONSIDERABLE ROI IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME?

The question is not whether there will be a return of interest, but if the ROI will be significant and materialize in a short period. The improvements of the technology shouldn’t be incidental or take years to occur. The equipment you purchase should have an impact almost immediately.

4. WILL YOUR STAFF MASTER THE NEW TECHNOLOGY QUICKLY?

When calculating ROI, factor in if the new technology requires new skill sets and systems to run effectively. Be careful not to choose a technology that will require staff training or new hires.

Consider these essential factors to ensure that the new technology is truly beneficial to your dental practice.
