According to the American Dental Association, teledentistry is “the use of telehealth systems and methodologies in dentistry”. The use of teledentistry in a dental practice can include live video conferencing, exchange of patient health records, remote patient monitoring and mobile health.
Teledentistry is an important consideration to add to your practice because it bridges the communication gap of delivering your patients the best possible oral health care at their convenience. Give your patients the ability to interact with your office beyond your physical office location through telehealth technology advancements.
In addition, the use of teledentistry at your dental practice results in a more patient centric approach which may lead to increased revenue due to lower cancellation rate, higher satisfaction and better patient engagement and retention because you are maximizing your schedule and patient access to you.
Synchronous teledentistry is real-time communication, such as video conferencing, between a family dental practice to a specialty practice (e.g., a live video conference between patient, general dentist and oral surgeon about an emergency extraction due to an active infection).
Are you referring your patients to a dental specialist or a medical practice? If you are, consider teledentistry in your referral process so that your patients are given direct access to the care they need.

Asynchronous teledentistry is something that many practices are already doing today. Did you know that sending a patient referral to another practitioner is considered teledentistry? Asynchronous teledentistry is securely exchanging patient medical records (e.g., patient x-ray images, treatment plans, 3D scans) to another practitioner for evaluation or treatment.
