I like to read dental 'business magazines' just to stay in touch with the small talk of the profession. In recent courses and in the magazines, it has been stated that the Mother of the family makes the decision on selecting a dentist and one of the biggest factors is how 'technologically' advanced the dental practice appears to be and whether the dentist has the latest bells and whistles. I have to tell you that technology will slightly improve a mediocre golfer, car mechanic or dentist but it is NOT the technology that makes a great dentist. Of course, technology will make a great dentist better but the opposite is not true. Have you ever seen the old tools of a master cabinet maker or a master mason?
If you want to find a great dentist, look for skill, education and passion....One way to determine how good a dentist is to go to their website...The skill, education and passion are clear as day.
Oh yes....I was one of the first 100 dentists in the United States to convert to digital radiography, to have computer imagining and a curing laser...None of these pieces of equipment made me what I am today.
