Cercon Coach

May 23, 2007

In the industry today, dental offices are fast becoming high-tech hubs. As digital cameras, computers, and internet become integrated with practices, technology is turning into an essential dental tool.

One of the latest tools comes from Dentsply, called the Cercon Coach.

This revolutionary piece of software is designed to empower your practice by providing you with three things; patient education, clinical procedures, and a digital link with the laboratory.

 

Empower your patient

When it comes to patients, there is nothing more valuable than trust. Cercon Coach provides a series of customized 3D animations for crown, bridge, and implant procedures. These allow the dentist, dental assistant, or hygenist to explain why the patient needs an indirect restoration.

During these 15-20 second animations, the user can stop, draw, fast-forward, or pause and discuss what’s being presented. The second part of the animation presents restorative options, with enough information to educate but not confuse.

When your patients have this knowledge, it gives them a sense of trust. The result is greater patient acceptance and satisfaction.

Empower your practice

Keeping up with cosmetic dentistry innovations is crucial to the success of any practice. While clinical photography and videos can be helpful, they often lack the tips and tricks needed to utilize new products to their fullest potential. Cercon Coach’s series of customized animations and actual clinical videos result in an improved visualization of proper techniques as well as added features for advanced clinicians.

Elements addressed include step-by-step animations for preparation procedures, temporization techniques, burs, tissue management, endodontic design and restorative steps, and cementation protocols.

This practice component can help dentists train their team and improve overall consistency in their practice. And training new dental assistants and staff members on procedures has never been easier.

Empower your prescription

Cercon Coach’s lab prescription tool delivers customized, highly detailed scripts electronically to the lab. This convenient procedure improves communication, reduces errors, and saves time for the lab and practice alike. You can customize anterior and posterior teeth, specify shades, add patient photos, and add notes, all with drag-and-drop simplicity.

Patient – Practice – Prescription. Connections made simple.

Cercon Coach combines patient treatment plan animations, comprehensive clinical procedures and an electronic lab prescription tool into an affordable interactive software program. The Results are greater patient acceptance and satisfaction. A better educated and effective team. And a digital link with the lab for stronger efficiency and accuracy.
