Now, in this time of heightened concern with COVID-19, sameday dentistry is also a safer option for patients because they
don't have to return to the office a second time.

"Our patients' time is of utmost importance to us," said
Mr. Linder. "We only invest in those technologies that enhance
the patient experience and improve clinical outcomes."

"The CEREC technology is such a great experience for the
patient," said Dr. Derse, who explained that it saves them
time and travel to a second appointment. "I'm surprised not
every office is using it because it is our standard of care at
Espire Dental."
Three CAD/CAM Systems In Constant Use
Mr. Stanislawski said the doctors were very involved, spending
hours and hours together analyzing and fine-tuning the digital
workflow, and decided the CEREC system was just the best fit
for their practice. Purchasing three systems was a significant
investment, but Dr. Derse noted that with its superior Primescan
intraoral scanner, CAD/CAM is extremely versatile and is the
piece of equipment she would not practice without. The group
currently mills all of their posterior crowns, as well as clear
aligners in-house. For cosmetic cases, they send out the digital
files to high-performance labs that can create restorations in
half the time of traditional labs. Dr. Derse said she never takes a
traditional impression.

Dr. Derse noted being a high-tech office not only meets patient
demand and provides doctors with safe, efficient ways of
providing dentistry, it has another benefit: it empowers the
team who can now design the crowns and do the staining
and glazing.

The dentists chose a Dentsply Sirona Orthophos SL 3D cone
beam X-ray system that they use primarily for extractions and
implant cases. In addition, they use DEXIS Titanium sensors and
CariVus for noninvasive caries detection, and ACTEON SOPRO
717 intraoral cameras.

The doctor-owners and Mr. Linder all praise the team members
of Espire Dental for overcoming the challenges presented by
COVID-19 and for tackling each one with courage, passion and
empathy for their family of patients. They have adopted the new
protocols as though they have been practicing them all along.

Every piece of digital technology is fully compatible with each
other and all are connected to Dentrix Ascend. In addition
to allowing pre-payments to minimize in-office interactions,
it lets the doctors view patient records and information and
scheduling from any computer in or outside the office. Being
able to access patient information from home is one of
Dr. Derse's favorite features and was certainly vital when
working remotely.

Espire Dental kept every team member fully employed during
the shutdown, engaging them through online trainings and
even a little fun, like video contests with significant cash prizes
and an Espire book club that helped them continue to develop
their best selves and remain connected with each other. They
arranged panel discussions with health experts and got to know
one another's family and pets by video conferencing. They also
offered free COVID-19 antibodies tests to all team members.

"I love Dentrix Ascend as I am able to complete chart notes
remotely," Dr. Derse shared. "Recently, one of our doctors asked
me to consult on a patient diagnosis, and I was able to pull it up
right on my computer. Being cloud-based makes so much
more sense."

The team extended outreach to patients too. "We personally
called every patient to ask them how they are doing, and
once we assessed their personal situation and needs, we then
reviewed our new protocols, helped them know what to expect,
and focused on giving them comfort and a sense of well-being,"
said Mr. Linder.
"Most of our patients understand the new way of doing things
and are grateful to feel safe and receive care again," said
Dr. Derse. As they continue to provide the same level of
hospitality and care offered before COVID-19, the Espire team
also recognizes these changes might be around for a while and
it's important to make the very best of the circumstances.
"We hope our patients feel the care, thoughtfulness, and safety
that has gone into every detail of the patient experience and
continue to trust in us to provide excellent care of their oral
health," concluded Mr. Linder. "We pride ourselves in being
Espire Dental where excellence in dentistry meets
luxury hospitality." 
