Women
in Dentistry
Editor's note:
For the final installment of our 2017 series about women in dentistry,
Dentaltown magazine and Benco Dental selected an author who's known for
incorporating technology into her dental practice: Dr. Sarah Palmer of
Grandville, Michigan, who was named one of Incisal Edge magazine's "40
Under 40" best young dentists in the United States.
Over the past two years, Palmer has added a Solea laser and a Cerec
in-office scanner and milling unit, and she's already considering a CBCT
and a 3-D printer.
She also created a Veterans Dental Day at her practice, Sarah Palmer
DDS, which last year provided $10,000 worth of free care to uninsured
veterans. Email: sarah@sarahpalmerdds.com
Both breakthroughs came about because
of human ingenuity and technological
innovation. We're in an exciting time within
the dental industry, and with innovations
in technologies coming out almost daily
we've found innovative ways to reach new
patients, connect with existing ones and
offer solutions that were inconceivable even
a decade ago.
I purchased my practice in December 2012, and from the beginning I knew
that technology would play a vital role in the
growth of my business. Having a few years
under my belt and being a lifelong patient
myself, I understood the way that walking
into a modern practice with innovative
technologies helped shatter the preconceived
notions of a Renaissance-era dentist making
house calls with hand cranks and pliers.
This meant less-anxious patients, which
resulted in more return visits and more
comprehensive treatment plans-and,
ultimately, higher return on investment.
With advancements coming ever more
rapidly, it's imperative to be able to sift
through the sales pitches and trade shows
and find the devices that will directly affect
your bottom line.
Here are a few of the key technology
solutions that I believe have put my practice
at the forefront of our industry. Some of
these technologies could be the difference
between a brief flight at Kitty Hawk and
one giant leap for mankind.
1. Intraoral imaging
Using intraoral cameras, cavity-detecting
devices and digital radiographs greatly aids
in diagnosing. A more effective diagnosis
directly results in a more comprehensive
treatment plan. A diagnosis is only effective
if the patient is knowledgeable about its
implications; for this reason, our office has
moved away from tedious informational
packets and instead uses a combination of
informational visuals through the screens in
our waiting room, as well as reinforcement
