Preva X-Rays: One of the Best Intraoral Imaging Machines in the Market

October 2, 2019 by ICONA 1 Comment

When it comes to delivering quality intraoral imaging results, we’re pretty sure that there’s not a lot of competition for the Preva X-Rays. Why? Well, it’s due to the fact that these machines are packed with amazing features that make it an exceptional piece of dental equipment that any clinic should have!

You’re probably asking yourselves “what exactly are these features?” And we’ll be more than happy to tell all of you about them! From image clarity to being ergonomically good for dental practitioners, it is our utmost pleasure to share why Preva X-Rays is one of the best imaging machines in the market!

Image Clarity

The main goal of the Preva X-ray machines is to detect cavities, or other issues, in different areas of a person’s teeth. One of the easiest and fastest ways to identify a problem is by taking a quality image of it, giving the dentist a better picture of what they’re dealing with. The machines’ lenses are so sophisticated; it’s capable of delivering 0.4-mm focal spot focus, well-detailed image. This allows dentists to easily identify pathologies using film or digital sensors.

Easy to Use

One of the main reasons that dentists shy away from other dental x-ray machines is because some of them have a user-interface that’s too complex. Their functionalities and schematics may be too technical for most users. With the Preva X-Rays, however, every dentist is sure to get a user-friendly experience thanks to its easy-to-use LCD control panel display, equipped with large icons, which aid in identifying patient size, target tooth, and receptor type. It has 30 pre-programmed technique settings too, which makes it easier for dentists to personalize each setting to fit their style.

Drift-Free

There are times when acquiring quality intraoral imaging is made challenging, not because the patient’s diagnosis is too complex, but is rather due to a machine’s faulty design. This mostly happens when a patient’s head is unable to stay still because the machine couldn’t properly support it, making it slowly drift or sag. With its proprietary dual-arm braking system, the patient’s head stays exactly where it is rested eliminating any risk of drifting or sagging.

Ergonomically Friendly

Ergonomics play an important role in every dental practitioner’s job. Aside from their training, it’s also one of the factors that helps keep both the dentist (including his/her assistant) and patient safe from possible injuries. Illnesses like musculoskeletal disorders can also be prevented with the aid of proper ergonomics. The Preva X-Rays understand such things, which is why they are specifically designed for quick one-handed positioning and effortless movement. It also has built-in storage to keep the sensors safe from being misplaced or damaged.
Before, intraoral imaging was only a dream, but now, it is one of the most innovative functions that any dental x-ray machine can offer. Though it’s true that Preva X-Rays’ niche, is capturing images, it doesn’t rely on it. The other innovations integrated into its design are exactly what make it a far better choice for anyone in the field of dentistry!

5 of the Best Dental Chair Manufacturers Providing Products Globally

August 13, 2019 by ICONA Leave a Comment

Dentists are always on the lookout for the most effective dental chair for their clinics. Though it’s true that the market offers a lot of choices, most of them don’t offer top-tier functionalities. Dental chairs certainly have similarities, true.

However, they’re still made by different manufacturers that have varying approaches to their products. Some concentrate on making changes based on feedback. Others make it a point to provide peerless comfort, and some focus on making dental chairs constructed for a particular clinical access.

All of them may differ in certain niches, but they do have one common goal: to produce the finest dental chairs. Today, we’ll be talking about 5 of the best dental chair constructors.

Midmark

Founded way back in 1915, Midmark was formerly a cement mixing company based in Dayton, Ohio. It was in 1986 that the company ventured into the business of manufacturing medical equipment. A couple of years later and they’re now one of the best manufacturers for dental, medical, and veterinary equipment. Their flagship dental chairs are the UltraComfort, Midmark Elevance, and the UltraTrim, all of which focuses on catering to the particular needs of dentists and patients.

Fedesa

Combining 30 years of experience in the dental industry with brilliant specialists and engineers working together, Fedesa is one of the largest dental chair manufacturers in the entire globe; capable of creating stylish, reliable, and high-quality dental chairs.

Being one of the most esteemed manufacturers, Danaher produces numerous equipment that specialises in environmental, science, applied solutions, and dental. They own more than 20 fully functional companies found at different locations in the world, and houses over 67,000 associates.

KaVo Dental

Two of their flagships, the Progress series (has a lustrous and modern style) and the Pro 2 (a full heavy-duty and full-bodied dental chair), are both popular thanks to the impressive technology and high-quality construction integrated in them.

5 Tips Dentists can Follow to make Happy Dental Patients

July 30, 2019 by ICONA 1 Comment

Dental patients often visit a clinic thinking nothing much of it. They’re just there to get their teeth fixed, get some cavities cleaned, and their enamels bleached. However, simply satisfying their dental needs won’t be enough to keep them coming back.

A dentist’s job is to make sure that their patients are comfortable during the dental procedure. But it’s not enough to simply focus on their comfortability. Dentists need to up their games and find a way to make happy dental patients with their services, their products, and most importantly, with their practices.

1. Make a Personal Connection

There are a number of dentists that treat their patients only as they are: a patient. But the truth of the matter is, no one wants to be considered as “just another patient.” A personal bond must be made, so spark up a conversation and make sure to take notes about the things you’ve talked about, and do a follow up on their next visit. Partnered by our impressive array of dental equipment, patients will certainly flock the clinic in no time.

2. Make the Payment Methods Easier

Nobody wants to go through a hassling way to pay. Any patient would no doubt be turned off and would immediately consider another dental clinic, whenever the need arises again. Make paying the dental bills easier by having a website that allows them to book and pay online.

3. Try Having Membership Plans

The good thing about membership plans is that it helps those who don’t have dental insurances. Membership plans are like monthly or yearly subscriptions that offer benefits and discounts to patients who are paying for it. Having membership plans has high probabilities of making happy dental patients because it helps them feel like they’re being catered for in the best way.

4. Appreciate Patients in a Special Week

Now, making a patient feel important and appreciated by giving them the best dental services, with the help of advanced dental equipment, is more than enough. But stepping up the game a bit is pretty much doable by applying a “Patient Appreciation Week.” The perfect time to do these is during holidays, wherein the clinic would have a specific theme, say Halloween, and dentists give out balloons or toys to kids. Valentine’s would be giving out flowers.

5. Do a Follow-up Call

Some might say that follow-up calls doesn’t make much change, but calling patients and asking them how they’re recovering is a very nice gesture. If a dentist makes a personal call, it’ll strengthen the dentist-patient relationship they have. A follow-up call can go a long way to build a loyal, professional, and more personal connection to patients.

Even with the most advanced dental equipment and with the best practices in place, a dental clinic still wouldn’t be able to make happy dental patients, if they don’t add a human touch to their line of work. It’s a dentist’s job to make sure that the teeth are healthy, but it is their obligation to care for their patients professionally and personally.
