Aspen Dental and ClearChoice Launch New Patient Apps

In a significant step towards enhancing patient care, The Aspen Group (TAG) has rolled out innovative mobile applications designed specifically for Aspen Dental and ClearChoice Dental Implant Center patients. This initiative seeks to streamline the process of dental care by providing users with greater visibility and control over their treatment.

The Vision Behind the Apps

Over nearly three decades, TAG has been committed to breaking down barriers within the healthcare system. These challenges often manifest in the form of complicated scheduling, unclear treatment processes, and limited communication on care follow-ups. The newly launched apps aim to tackle these issues, ensuring that patients can manage their dental care experience conveniently from their mobile devices.

Bob Fontana, founder, chairman, and CEO of TAG, emphasized the organization's commitment to innovation: "Nearly 30 years ago, we started building this business around a pretty simple idea to be a 'Yes' organization in an industry full of no's. In partnership with the dentists we support, we've spent decades breaking down barriers because we believe healthcare should work better for patients. These apps are another step in that journey. If we can give patients more visibility, more convenience and more control over their care, why wouldn't we?"

Key Features of the Aspen Dental App

The Aspen Dental patient app is crafted to enhance the overall dental care experience. Not only does it facilitate easy appointment booking, but it also empowers patients to understand their treatment plans better. Key functionalities include:

• - Treatment Plan Visibility: Patients can view their diagnosis, understand the reasoning behind it, and follow the trajectory of their treatment from diagnosis to completion.
• - Seamless Check-In: Pre-visit paperwork can be completed directly through the app, minimizing in-office wait times.
• - Timely Reminders: Patients will receive notifications regarding their next dental visit and easy access to directions.
• - Educational Resources: Access to reliable oral health information is available at their fingertips.

The ClearChoice Experience

The ClearChoice app is another innovative tool that supports patients on their journey toward a new smile. One of its most exciting features includes the First Look Smile Preview, utilizing augmented reality to help patients visualize their potential new smile even before their first appointment. Features of the ClearChoice app include:

• - Easy Consultation Booking: Patients can schedule a free consultation with just a few taps and complete all preliminary steps remotely.
• - Inspiring Patient Stories: The app offers access to a library of videos showcasing transformative dental experiences from real patients.
• - Interactive Q&A: Users can directly interact with a virtual assistant to ask any implant-related inquiries.
• - Annual Care Management: Patients can keep track of cleaning reminders and share pertinent information with their families.

The Future of Dental Care

Both apps represent a milestone in TAG’s commitment to enhancing patient experiences in dental care. The future looks bright as further features will continue to be rolled out, reinforcing the emphasis on transparency and ease of access for patients.

With these apps now available for free on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, more patients than ever can take charge of their dental care journeys. As Rafeh Masood, Chief Commercial Officer at TAG, mentions, "What matters about these apps isn't the technology itself, it's what the technology makes possible. We're making it easier for patients to understand their care and take the next step."
