DentalAce Review: The right Software leads to success in dental medicine
Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly important to equip a dental practice or a dental lab with the latest available and optimal practice software to make internal processes as fast and efficient as possible. This is why one of the top priorities for many dental care specialists and dental technicians – both prior to and after opening a practice or lab – is to install the most modern and up-to-date practice software that is available on the market.
Put simply, such software significantly reduces the workload of practice employees by automatically taking care of mundane and standardized processes such as accounting and appointment management while also lowering the potential for errors. To address these tasks, several local manufacturers are offering software options, all of which focus on practice-internal operational processes while leaving externally facing processes such as marketing, practice logistics, practice interior, and hiring for the most part to other third parties or to the practice and lab owners themselves to handle.
This is how all potential efficiency gains remain focused within the practice or the lab and can only be extended outside the practice via collaboration with a 3rd party and/or via additional investment of time and resources. We at DentalAce have made it a priority to significantly simplify any and all processes inside and around the practice to make your life as a dentist and dental technician easier.
In the longer run, we plan to automate the vast majority of processes and decisions that have to deal with practice and lab operations in an effort to streamline our customers' day to day lives. At first, we remain focused on optimizing all appointment-related tasks prior, after, and also during an appointment.
Appointment Administration simplified – Save Time and Money with DentalAce
As already mentioned, we significantly simplified the so-called front-end as it relates to appointment scheduling for our members via a simpler and more intuitive UX (User Experience) that almost turns appointment booking into a game. This is why we can happily report great growth in our visitor and appointment booking statistics.To sum up the functionality of our platform in the form of a picture – with our interface, patients can easily find and book a dentist appointment in 5 or fewer clicks and/or discuss and settle on a specific treatment price already prior to an appointment via our personal request and price check functions. In visual terms, the below outline shows how everything that is related to appointment scheduling and the actual appointment is completely covered by our system and can potentially be connected to your practice software (depending on whether the software manufacturer agrees) to make sure that you can receive 100% authentic ratings for every appointment in your DentalAce profile, irrespective of whether the appointment was booked through our platform or not. To maximize traffic to your DentalAce profile, you may also place a button with a link to your profile on it, which you may download at any time.
As the above mentioned graphic shows, our ratings function can either be connected to your practice management system via a custom "rating transfer link" or it can function autonomously and thereby help with appointment scheduling. You can find more statistics about the value add from our platform.
Of course, we can help with several items that follow an appointment booking and can, as shown below, not only score with our secured ratings system but also via valuable statistics regarding demand and your own performance.
Since we do not foresee any overlap between our portal and your practice or lab software, we have developed an approach that works just as well with as it does without a link back to said software.
A link is good, connection is better – Coming Soon to your DentalAce Profile
As a specialist in the field of dental care, have you ever been on the lookout for a combination of several key elements that are crucial for practice success at one and the same time? If so, then you probably had to visit several pages and portals of multiple companies and potential business partners where you had to go through the business development process from scratch each and every time.A simplified example is provided right here: let's assume that you as a dentist are currently building up your practice and are therefore looking not only for modern practice equipment (e.g., exam chairs, instruments for drilling and fillings etc., and head x-ray machines) but also for frequently-used practice consumables (e.g., scrapers, intraoral mirrors, etc.) and for a suitable substitute doctor or oral hygienist. In this case, you will have to take a look at several purchase options and, if even possible, do price comparisons separately on a one-by-one basis. To make this task easier for you and to save time and money, we at DentalAce have created a custom tailored connection station between all of the most important stakeholders in the dental care space, as outlined below:
Thereby, not only will your start into the field of dental medicine be made significantly easier but the continued operation of your practice will also simplified via an interface that unifies various functions that have to deal with purchases, leases, and two-way communication between your practice or dental lab and the above-listed partner organizations. The additional plus point here is that, as a member on our platform, you will also be able to use links to other online shops to compare prices and even financing opportunities (if needed) via one and the same interface. Since we continue planning and developing these additional UX options, you will be able to read about our progress in our blog or find out more in our videos and/or our monthly newsletter.
Your success through data and statistics
What we also like to clearly say here is that, as you know, we have prepared so-called profit calculators for our members that enable both current and potential future members to assess their potential gain from being on our platform at any point in time and based on their own assumptions. For now, these calculators are available in Excel format but we will very soon build them into our website in a UX-friendly form that will allow you to use them right on our homepage for maximum convenience.
Stay tuned for more details in the coming few months and feel free to download the calculators in their current Excel format for dentists and for dental lab operators.
New UX for your Patients = more Engagement and Repeat Visits
Before we get to the finish line here, we would like to make a final mention of our UX functions with which our platform is already significantly differentiated from other online web archives. As discussed, we have built several ways for patients and dentists to confidentially agree on procedure pricing well ahead of time and, which makes our platform the first and only one to employ these functions. More about of Request function can be found here and you can read more about our Price Check function here.On top of that, we would also like to constantly improve the online experience of our visitors and to make their dentist search significantly easier. This is why, besides other new features (e.g., appointment booking in 5 or fewer clicks), we have integrated a profile swiping feature into our platform to make the review of individual dentist profiles as easy as possible even on a smartphone screen. At this time, this function is built into the mobile version of our portal and will also be available in app form shortly.
The DentalAce Swiping Feature
So, as already mentioned, just keep reading our blog, social media updates, and newsletters and find out more and more about our new functions and features over the next 6, 12, and 18 months.
Short Greeting from the Future – What and Who exactly When and for however many you want
In conclusion, let us give you a sneak peek vision of the future: Whenever you shop for your dental practice, you are essentially looking for a particular amount of goods at or below a certain maximum price within a certain timeframe because we all need what we need and ideally we need it yesterday.At this point, this process is often lengthy and cumbersome and is most often associated with specific amounts, times, and prices that do not necessarily overlap with your needs and that almost always involve transactions between dentists, dental technicians, and product manufacturers and sellers. One possible further development of this process which we strive toward is not only to make transaction parameters more flexible but also to test out several additional forms of business connections and transactions between all of the various players in the dental ecosystem in order to arrive at a so-called "Win-Win-Win" distribution for offered services and goods between offerers, buyers, and consumers. This idea is still in its early stages and we will send out additional details in the next 12-24 months to provide you with more information.
