Think big picture!
Today’s dentist faces increasing pressure to modernize and operate their practices more efficiently. Dentists search for repeatable ways to heighten productivity. Successful dental technology is the standard but has to be done right. Buying new dental technology is exhilarating – but if you’re not absolutely certain how it increases your bottom line, then it’s not the right time to buy!
Your practice is run by systems. Systems are the operating structure necessary to grow your practice. Dental practices rely on computers, practice management software, and dental technology to achieve predictable results. Ease of use combined with the least amount of steps will benefit the entire practice.
3 key steps to successful dental technology:
- Make a plan – Think big picture by starting with the end in mind. Purchasing dental technology with multiple imaging software programs is one costly mistake some dental practices make. Without a reliable plan, price negotiation is ineffective.
- Result control – As a dental practice owner you want maximum ROI on every investment that you make. Identify what you need and why – before starting to shop. The least expensive way to integrate technology is to do it right the first time!
- Cost control – Best price is different from total cost of ownership. Training, support and service are significant costs that must be accounted for. Competitive bidding can save thousands on equipment and IT support. Over time, the cost saving potential is enormous. That’s where a solid plan, competitive bidding and skillful negotiation really counts.
If you think you’re paying too much – you probably are!
Buying dental technology without a trusted plan leads to costly mistakes. These missteps lessen practice productivity and increase costs. Competitive bidding with a reliable plan wrapped around it delivers the best results and least overall cost of ownership.
