Transforming Dental Imaging
In a groundbreaking initiative, PDS Health®, a prominent integrated healthcare support organization, has achieved a significant milestone by launching advanced dental imaging technologies across more than 1,000 dental practices in the United States. This remarkable integration, in partnership with DEXIS, a recognized leader in dental imaging and diagnostic solutions, marks a pivotal step towards enhancing patient care and improving clinical workflows.
Advanced Imaging Technologies
The rollout includes the implementation of two major components: the DTX Studio™ Clinic, which serves as a robust AI-powered platform for diagnostics, and the DEXIS Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) systems, which provide high-resolution 3D imaging. The integration of these technologies empowers dental practitioners to enhance diagnostic accuracy, effective surgical planning, and bolster provider confidence in their decision-making processes.
David Baker, Chief Information and Digital Officer at PDS Health, highlights the significance of this collaboration, stating, "Our successful implementation of DEXIS technology reflects the power of scale combined with purpose. This initiative strengthens clinical decision-making, simplifies provider workflows, and provides a more connected experience for patients." This sentiment echoes the essence of how advanced technology can pave the way for smarter, more collaborative care in the dental sector.
Enhancing Patient Engagement
The benefits of integrating CBCT imaging extend beyond clinical efficiency. Bianca Velayo, DMD, who operates a PDS Health-supported practice named Green Valley Smiles Dentistry in Henderson, Nevada, shared her perspective: "Integrating CBCT into my practice has transformed my approach to diagnosis, boosting my confidence and enhancing patient engagement. The 3D imaging allows patients to visualize their conditions clearly, ultimately driving higher case acceptance."
This underscores the trend in modern dentistry where improved technological capabilities can significantly enhance patient communication and satisfaction.
A Vision for the Future
PDS Health and DEXIS’s partnership is grounded in a mutual vision of innovation and clinical excellence. By merging DEXIS' advanced imaging capabilities with PDS Health's extensive operational expertise, they aim to set new standards within the realm of modern oral healthcare. Robert Befidi, President of DEXIS, mentions, "We're proud to collaborate with PDS Health as a leading organization that shares our vision for innovation and the future of dentistry. This collaboration represents a powerful opportunity to advance integrated, patient-centered care through a truly connected digital ecosystem."
Commitment to Integrated Care
The commitment to integrating dental and medical services that PDS Health began in 1994 continues to drive their operations. Their formidable approach focuses on the crucial relationship between oral health and overall well-being. By offering a wide array of services to dental and medical providers, PDS Health enhances operational efficiency and care delivery across the country.
As dental practices across the U.S. adopt these pioneering technologies, the potential for improved patient outcomes and operational efficiencies continues to grow. This initiative not only reflects a step forward in dental technology but also reinforces the importance of collaboration and innovation within healthcare sectors.
