CareCredit Partners with Lighthouse 360
CareCredit, a provider of health care credit products, and Lighthouse 360, a Henry Schein
One brand patient communication software platform for dental practices, recently announced a
partnership that allows patients to finance their oral health needs through the platform. The deal
includes Lighthouse 360 incorporating CareCredit financing education, data and credit products into
its automated email communications.
When patients have an out-of-pocket investment for their dental care needs, cost can be a
concern and barrier to treatment. To help overcome this challenge, Lighthouse 360 has updated its
patient communications to include information about CareCredit financing, most notably adding this
messaging to automated treatment plan reminder emails. The combination of consistent reminders
about dental care with information about financing options should help dental teams alleviate
patients' cost concerns and encourage them to schedule and complete treatment.

Ivoclar Vivadent and 3Shape
Collaborate on Aesthetic
Dental Imaging Technology
3Shape and Ivoclar Vivadent have
announced the integration of Ivoclar
Vivadent's IvoSmile technology with
3Shape orthodontic and restorative
applications. The collaboration enables
dentists to use IvoSmile when using the
3Shape Trios Treatment Simulator and
restorative design software.
The IvoSmile app uses augmented
reality to visualize aesthetic dental
treatments in real time. The visualized
treatment options are based on live
images recorded with an iPad. The
technology allows clinicians to show
patients views of themselves before
and after an orthodontic or aesthetic
dental makeover by looking into a
"virtual mirror." Additionally, the
3Shape Trios Treatment Simulator
app proposes a specific orthodontic
treatment outcome based on intraoral
scan images. The simulated situations
are then transferred to the IvoSmile app
to illustrate the proposed treatment.
This allows patients to see the possible
treatment outcome in real time.
