Standard Precautions Aren’t Enough Anymore

It can be hard to know where to look for the latest information - the CDC has been cautious to confirm the spread of COVID-19 as airborne. We've started a post that we'll continue to update with the latest information as it relates to dental aerosol control.  

Without a doubt dentistry is about to change post the coronavirus pandemic.   

It's easy to get caught up in the panic, but now is NOT the time to panic, now is the time to take action and do something. 

Much of your post-COVID comeback success depends on what you do now!  

Let's talk about the something.  We've collated a practical list of things you can do to get ready for re-opening your practice.  

It is highly likely you are presented with many ideal OVC clinical cases each week. Below is a slideshare with 18 clinical case photos to help you identify a perfect OVC case to get started. 

In this article we will show you how you can use the patient letter resource to recover patients who had previously deferred crown treatment.  

Everyone has an “action priority list” derived from what they see as important. Actions that get to the top of the list get done, while things further down the list have to wait or get forgotten. When you suggest that a tooth really needs a crown, the patient evaluates the relative importance of this against their other priorities. If you don’t convince them that it is really important, it will never get to the top of the list.

The reality of life is that not everyone has the money for a lab crown, nor see it as top of their priority list. This is where the One Visit Crown comes in. Offering patients a more affordable, high quality alternative may be all that is needed to encourage the patient to take the important decision to prioritise their dental health. 

In this post we will cover techniques to present the One Visit Crown to your patients for optimal case acceptance rates.

Every dentist would like to increase their patient case acceptance rates.  As dentists, we think first about the best clinical outcome for the patient. Here's the problem. What do you think the patients first thought is? You guessed it - it's almost always, "how much is this going to cost?".

Rhondium is excited to announce the new McDonald Matrix Band is now available as part of the One Visit Crown (OVC) system. The McDonald Matrix Band has been specifically designed to enhance the ease of the One Visit Crown procedure.

We were fortunate to have the very talented Dr. Sam Koh with us at the Rhondium booth for the entire duration of the show. Dr. Koh, alongside our Product Specialists and V3 System/OVC inventor Dr. Simon McDonald, conducted intensive hands-on workshops on the One Visit Crown procedure for the show attendees. We were very impressed with the high quality of restorations that were achieved, with beautiful margins and no flash.

Dr Simon McDonald and Dr Terry Wong recently completed a whirlwind tour of Australia, with hands-on workshops in Brisbane, Surfers Paradise, Sydney and Melbourne. There was a fantastic vibe and it was great to see the excitement of the attendees as they tried the One Visit Crown for the first time. Thanks to everyone who came along!
