DPR Friday: Create a more efficient practice, Midwinter product preview [VIDEO]

51 ways to boost efficiency in your practice, plus the first half of our ones to watch preview for the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter Meeting.

Welcome to this week’s episode of DPR Friday. I’m Thais Carter, Director of Content for Advanstar Dental Media. Assembling this month’s cover story on 51 Ways to Boost Practice Efficiency has been a surprisingly fun task...

Getting to the core of the matter - how much time does this REALLY save a practice - helped us and the manufacturers we spoke with to cut through the marketing chatter and find the real value in what various products have to offer. Many of our 51 tips are product specific – looking at delivery systems, curing time, etc. - and others help reestablish common sense practices - cross train your team, set an agenda for team meetings and more.

Obviously, I’m not going to summarize all 51 tips in this episode – that would crazy – but I really want to encourage you to check out the feature at dentalproductsreport.com and, more importantly, interact with us on this topic via Facebook and Twitter. The story doesn’t end at 51! We want to hear how you’re creating efficiencies in your practice and professional life. Who knows – you could be the inspiration for our next cover story!

And, speaking of inspiration… if you haven’t already caught the excitement and decided to drop everything and be in Chicago the last weekend in February - not as cold as it sounds, I swear - then maybe our Ones to Watch feature will help motivate you to join us and 30,000 other dental industry devotees for the Chicago Dental Society’s Midwinter meeting.  Let me give you a quick rundown of the first 7, and we’ll hit up the rest in next week’s episode…

• 3M ESPE will continue to demonstrate the incredible precision (and price) of its 3M True Definition Scanner
• Align Technologies will unveil the new features of its enhanced iTero Imaging system
• Aseptico is offering $400 off of the Wand STA All-Injection System
• Biolase will be showcasing several specials, including one of the popular WaterLase iPlus all-tissue laser
• Clinician’s Choice is offering a Buy 1, get two additional cartridges FREE deal for its Affinity Quick Bite bite registration material – a $54.95  value
• Danville Materials is making the ZNano Universal Composite easier to get in your hands through a generous price discount
• And, last but not least…Pentron will showcase its new pentronstrada.com website which is designed to serve as an online resource and dialog hub for dentists

So much to see – and this is only the beginning! No shocker, but we are out of time. For more on the latest products and industry news, don’t miss DPR Friday next week, and every week.

Thanks for watching, and have a great weekend.
