TOP 5 PRODUCTS
1. OperaVR. Transforms the
patient experience and is the
best new patient generator I
have experienced in my career.
(Editor's note: OperaVR is a
Laskin-owned company.)
2. Cerec. Single-visit dentistry
that's of the highest quality I
have experienced.
3. DentsplySirona CT Imaging. Allows me to see
and diagnose in a way I never dreamed possible. I
believe this will soon be a standard of care.
4. OperaDDS. An end-to-end suite of communication
tools-paperless forms to eliminate data entry,
for example, and intraoffice chat-that has been
key in adopting same-day dentistry. (Editor's note:
OperaDDS is a Laskin-owned company.)
5. Kwikly. A temp agency replacement that works
like Uber. Calling temp agencies and waiting for a
response is a gigantic pain point. Kwikly fixed it.
and anxiety. Many people don't know this,
but there are great, respected organizations
doing some incredible research out there.
Once I reviewed the research and verified
the claims, I knew this was something I had
to make work for dentistry.
On the face of it, using VR in a dental
setting seems simple enough. In practice,
though, it was not. VR is incredibly immersive, to the point of blurring the lines of what
your brain conceives as reality versus fantasy.
This is why people can sometimes experience
motion sickness in cases such as riding a VR
roller coaster-it "feels" like you are there.
Also, if you've ever seen someone in VR,
they're looking all around them moving their
head. People moving their heads around and
puking out the crown you're attempting to
cement isn't a good combination!
To overcome this, I worked with experts
to create unique experiences that we call
"adventures." The result was OperaVR, a
system that uses VR goggles as a delivery
system to administer a calming experience
to patients. In the process, we added some
convenient features like the ability to deliver
postoperative instructional videos, and
dental-related facts that boost case acceptance.
I've been impressed with the results. It's
one thing to read a study that states VR has
been shown to decrease pain and anxiety
in health care settings up to 60%. It's quite
another to see a patient who's hiding behind
their dental napkin one minute, and a few
minutes later is lying still and completely
relaxed.
This leads nicely to your love of
technology, and how you try to leverage
it as a means to practice growth. What
