FeatherPay Helps Improve Dental Patient Experience With Digital Payment Options

Posted on Monday, September 27, 2021

Providing access to high quality patient payment solutions has become a vital component of dental care management.

FeatherPay, an Atlanta-based fintech focused on healthcare, is helping dental care providers improve the patient experience and reduce manual work for office staff through digital payments.

Across healthcare, seamless and efficient payment experience has become a critical component to the patient experience. In a 2019 study, 41% of patients said they would switch providers over a poor intake or payment experience.

Dental practices, often small businesses with limited budgets, have been slow to implement new payment technologies. As a result, patients often find themselves struggling with limited knowledge of their payment options, with many finding it difficult to make payments properly. Several practices still use antiquated billing and payment systems, or have a clunky digital experience that requires the patient to enter information manually.

"As patients, we have all felt the challenge of wanting better care and the pain of struggling to afford that care," said Craig Haynor, CEO of FeatherPay. "We designed FeatherPay to help practices make dental care as accessible to as many people as possible."

FeatherPay lets dental care providers easily introduce an intuitive, flexible patient payment experience into their practices, with no technical expertise required. The FeatherPay platform improves the dental patient payment experience and, by extension, enhances the patient/provider relationship.

With FeatherPay, patients have total control over how they want to pay. Multiple payment types are accepted and patients have the flexibility to combine different kinds of payment types to pay for care. Whether a patient prefers contactless payment or paying in person, FeatherPay is able to accommodate. The platform facilitates a hassle-free payment experience in the office, over the phone, or online.

Practices using FeatherPay have seen substantial increases in their treatment plan acceptance, as well as streamlined administrative operations. For more information about FeatherPay's patient billing solutions, please visit https://featherpay.io

exocad Highlights New Releases, Strategic Partnerships And Special Offers At The International Dental Show In Cologne

Posted on Friday, September 24, 2021

Innovation and integration define exocad's newest software releases

exocad GmbH (exocad), an Align Technology, Inc. company and a leading dental CAD software provider, detailed the company's achievements over the past year and recent productivity-boosting software innovations at its International Dental Show (IDS) press event. Under the new slogan "Imagine the CADabilities," exocad executives highlighted new product launches, recently formed strategic partnerships and company milestones.

"IDS is the biggest tradeshow of the dental industry and the biggest event for exocad. For us, it was always very clear that if IDS took place, we would be there," said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO exocad. "Our innovation is based on having a direct contact with the users and strategic partners, and, while we have always been very active on social media, nothing can replace the personal communication that happens during a trade show. Sharing ideas, discussing improvements, learning about new technologies—that is really what IDS is all about."

A year of solid software releases

Seamless digital workflows and simplicity of use underscore the new series of exocad's Galway software releases. ChairsideCAD 3.0 Galway, announced at the 2021 IDS, is part of exocad's next generation of open-architecture CAD software for single-visit dentistry. The new ChairsideCAD is highly automated, intuitive, and optimized for practice use.

"When we developed the Galway releases, the focus was on the increase of productivity for our customers," said Novica Savic, CCO exocad, citing new features that simplify the design process. Instant Anatomic Morphing enables the anatomy of the teeth to automatically adjust in real-time for dynamic occlusion, and AI-based detection of facial features makes smile design with Smile Creator faster and more accurate.

Other recently unveiled Galway releases include DentalCAD 3.0 Galway, with new AI- supported functions, and PartialCAD 3.0 Galway, which offers faster and more accurate partial denture design.

New strategic partnerships and software integrations

Furthering its role as an industry leader in integration and collaboration, exocad announced that it entered two large strategic partnerships this quarter. exocad will team with the Liechtenstein-based, dental product and systems provider Ivoclar Vivadent to create integrated, efficiency-boosting solutions for labs and dental technicians. exocad also deepened its relationship with longstanding strategic partner Amann Girrbach. The Austrian company recently presented a new system for same-day dentistry called Ceramill DRS that includes exocad-based ceramill software.

In addition to new strategic partnerships, exocad reached a new milestone in product integration: 10,000 implants from 100 producers are now available in the exoplan 3.0 Galway implant libraries. The comprehensive libraries include order numbers, links, information about implant surfaces and more.

Growth to meet demand

Following its acquisition by Align Technology Inc. in 2020, exocad has released significant innovations, almost doubled its research and development team, and discussed plans to relocate to a larger, high-tech headquarters in Darmstadt. The company has extended its presence in the U.S and expects to continue hiring globally this year and in 2022.

Scavenger hunts, smile design and social outreach at IDS

exocad will showcase a growing spectrum of solutions for labs and practices at the company's eye-catching, newly designed IDS booth. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch live demos at a dozen different software islands and sign up to receive their own 3D-printed try-ins using the AI-assisted Smile Creator. exocad experts and dental trailblazers Dr. Gulshan Murgai and Waldo Zarco Nosti will present exocad's software solutions: DentalCAD, ChairsideCAD and exoplan. Attendees can take part in a scavenger hunt – in line with health and safety guidelines - to visit the booths and demos of exocad's strategic partners and receive special prizes. Anyone unable to attend the Cologne trade show in person can tune in online to exocad's IDS livestream for top-notch software tutorials hosted by the exocad team, first-hand impressions of the trade event and interviews with strategic partners on the showroom floor.

exocad also offers IDS visitors the opportunity to participate in social outreach. Since 2005, the Italian charity organization Overland for Smile (O.N.L.U.S.) has traveled thousands of miles with its mobile surgery to bring indispensable dental care to children living in Eastern European orphanages. During IDS, exocad will collect donations on behalf of O.N.L.U.S. Attendees can donate 15 euros to the cause and receive an exclusive exocad T-shirt as a thank you.

Making a Lasting Impact: Dentsply Sirona Announces 5-year Partnership Agreement with Smile Train and a $5 Million Donation

Posted on Friday, September 24, 2021

Today, Dentsply Sirona, the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products, announced the official launch of its partnership with Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft-focused organization. For over 20 years, Smile Train has supported safe and quality cleft care for more than 1.5 million children in over 90 countries around the world. Dentsply Sirona’s commitment aims to advance the future of and access to cleft care.

Globally, 1 in 700 babies are born with a cleft lip and/or palate. Clefts can have devastating effects on the quality of life of a child, both physically by compromising the ability to communicate and to eat properly and from social stigma resulting in feelings of anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. A child with a cleft requires more than just surgery. Essential cleft care includes nutrition programs, dental and orthodontic care, speech therapy, and social and emotional support.

Smile Train’s sustainable model empowers local medical professionals to provide free cleft surgery and essential cleft care in their own communities. That’s why Dentsply Sirona is launching this partnership with Smile Train to improve oral health globally and to build a brighter, more sustainable future for children and families affected by cleft worldwide.

We are going beyond traditional financial and equipment donations. The Dentsply Sirona and Smile Train partnership will advance the future of cleft care by:

● Supporting global treatment standards and best practices for digitized cleft care;

● Leveraging digital technologies to make treatments more efficient and convenient for children;

● Providing high quality equipment to develop state-of-the-art centers for cleft treatment;

● Making our entire on-line catalog of clinical education courses available to all Smile Train oral health professionals; and

● Offering financial support for cleft surgeries.

The company is focused on making sure the benefits of our Smile Train partnership have a lasting impact. Therefore, in addition to funding life-changing cleft surgeries and providing free dental equipment, the collaboration focuses on global, oral healthcare training initiatives to equip people in local communities with the skills needed to provide treatment and raise the standard of care to the highest level through Clinical Education and the use of cutting-edge technologies in the long term.

Additionally, the partnership includes the development of an International Smile Train Scholars program, which will support in-person and virtual training and learning opportunities for Smile Train dental partners. A group of 16 scholars are attending DS World 2021, participating in clinical education sessions and growing their professional networks.

“Our partnership with Smile Train will help children around the world gain access to cleft treatment and offer them the chance to live a happy and healthy life. By also focusing on global treatment standards and best practices, donating innovative technology, and supporting the training and development of local healthcare professionals, the partnership will have an empowering impact on communities and will provide access to the best possible cleft care, for years to come,” said Jorge Gomez, CFO and Head of Dentsply Sirona’s Sustainability program “Beyond”. “Smile Train’s focus on comprehensive cleft care and community empowerment is inspiring. We are incredibly proud to partner with them to support their life-changing work.”

“We are pleased to welcome Dentsply Sirona on board as a corporate partner. This five-year partnership comes at a pivotal moment for Smile Train and will help advance the future of cleft care by supporting global treatment standards and best practices for digitalized cleft orthodontics,” said Susannah Schaefer, President & Chief Executive Officer, Smile Train. “We are grateful for Dentsply Sirona’s generous support and look forward to working together to raise awareness about and deepen our impact around cleft.”

Moreover, with a longer autoclavable scan tip and a greater scan depth, Aoralscan 3 is suitable for different clinical scenarios; both dentists and patients can expect more comfortable experience.

Smooth scanning experience for dentists

Thanks to AI, Aoralscan 3 can automatically identifies and filters out miscellaneous data during scanning. And with the help of the motion sensing control function, dentists can carry out the scanning process with minimal computer contact, ensuring safe and efficient clinical experience. 







Consumers for Dental Choice: Over 50 Groups Ask White House to Take Action Against Amalgam Use by Federal Agencies

Posted on Friday, September 24, 2021

Frustrated that a year has passed since the US Food and Drug Administration issued its landmark safety communication to drastically limit the use of dental amalgam, over 50 environmental, disability, health, and environmental justice groups have turned to the White House, calling on Council on Environmental Quality to insist that federal agencies providing dental care implement the new federal health policy. Letter: https://mercuryfreedentistry.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/ceq-letter.pdf

FDA, on September 24, 2020, issued a safety communication admonishing the use of amalgam for "high-risk populations": children; women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, and planning to become pregnant; and people with neurological disorders or kidney impairments. Despite the availability of alternatives that are comparably-priced, safe, and environmentally friendly, federal agencies providing dental care to millions of Americans have yet to act! 

"One would suppose that our government agencies would be first in line to implement federal health policy -- but the reverse is true," said Charlie Brown of Consumers for Dental Choice. "Dug-in federal bureaucracies refuse to follow federal health policy!"

"The whole life cycle of amalgam adds to cumulative and disproportionate impacts on communities of color," said Nsedu Obot Witherspoon of the Children's Environmental Health Network. "These communities already face higher exposure to harmful chemicals where they live, learn, and work."

"Even a small exposure of a neurotoxin at the wrong time of development can have a lifelong impact, including in the womb and for the breastfeeding baby," said Tracy Gregoire with the Learning Disabilities Association of America.

"Amalgam use by these government bureaucracies means that military bases, Tribal Lands, and federal prisons become increasingly polluted with toxic mercury," said Pam Miller of the Alaska Community Action on Toxics.

"The National Medical Association calls for the immediate end of amalgam use in high-risk populations in all government programs," said Dr. Mark Mitchell, Co-Chair for its Commission on Environmental Health. "A year is long enough."

"No safe level exists – for people, for food, or for fish," said Eve Gartner, managing attorney for the Toxic Exposure and Health Program at Earthjustice. "Proven and safe alternatives to amalgam are available – which middle-class Americans already receive."

"The ask to the Council on Environmental Quality is simple: tell the Indian Health Services, Department of Defense, Bureau of Prisons, and the VA to immediately cease placing amalgam in these vulnerable populations highlighted by the FDA," said Katie Huffling, Executive Director of the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments.

Amalgam is the largest use of mercury in America today – yet alternatives make its use unnecessary. Groups signing onto the letter include Earthjustice, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace.

The 50+ organizations highly commend the FDA, which also issued Infographics, https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/dental-amalgam-fillings/dental-amalgam-fillings-recommendations-graphics 







Dentsply Sirona Announces a Comprehensive Restage of Its Implant Business

Posted on Thursday, September 23, 2021

With a digital base, historical product strength and signature workflows supported by ongoing education and training, Dentsply Sirona is launching DS Implants, harmonizing successful brands like Simplant, OSSIX, Atlantis and MIS. Three completely connected, seamless signature workflows will take full advantage of digital dentistry for excellent outcomes and patient satisfaction. DS Implants presents DS PrimeTaper, a self-tapping implant with a tapered design that can be inserted safely and easily with a unique double thread, enabling long-term bone stability.

Today, Dentsply Sirona introduces a comprehensive restage of its Implants business, including three signature workflows to provide dental professionals with a completely new way of practicing implantology and solutions from scan to crown that outperform expectations in efficiency, accuracy, esthetics, longevity and simplicity.

● The Single Tooth Signature Workflow enables customers to do more and better, faster, simpler, freeing up time to see more patients.

The Partial Multiple Tooth Replacement Signature Workflow solves a signature patient case with three posterior teeth missing to be restored with a three-unit bridge on two implants for more confidence for the clinician and more comfort for the patient.

The Full Arch Signature Workflow addresses a signature patient case with an edentulous maxilla. The workflow offers a restoration with a fix bridge on four implants with immediate temporization.

With a complete ecoystem of digital solutions and products – including well-known brands like Simplant, OSSIX, Axeos, Primescan, Atlantis and MIS – Dentsply Sirona is streamlining implant treatments for practice growth and consistent patient satisfaction.

Comfort with new products based on well-known procedures

Additionally, Dentsply Sirona Implants presents DS PrimeTaper, a self-tapping implant with a tapered design that can be inserted safely and easily. This enables long-term bone stability. The double thread allows the implant to be inserted quickly and safely. A simple drilling protocol, with only a few different drills, supports the workflow.

Dentsply Sirona worked closely with the global implant key opinion leader community, and they have already started gaining experience with the product. Their reactions have been very positive:

Dr. Dan Butterman, dentist from Centennial, Colorado (USA), emphasizes the importance of a seamless workflow. “DS PrimeTaper represents the next step in implant dentistry. The digital-driven workflow results in higher accuracy, repeatability of processes, and time savings.” Butterman adds, "My patients have better things to do than spending time in my office. Thanks to clearly defined processes and digital solutions, I can offer safer and faster treatment options which my patients appreciate. That's what efficiency is all about!"

Dr. Martin Wanendeya, dentist from the United Kingdom, notes "DS PrimeTaper as a part of an integrated concept is different from what we knew before. In addition to reducing chair time and simplifying collaboration with my laboratory, Primescan for Atlantis suprastructures ensures aesthetic predictability and a perfect fit.”

Seamless concept for transforming digital implant dentistry

“Dentsply Sirona is about intelligent concepts that work intuitively and improve the predictability of treatment,” said Dr. Terri Dolan, Chief Clinical Officer at Dentsply Sirona. “Our goal is to enable clinicians, including both specialists and general practitioners, to focus on what they do best – creating healthy and beautiful smiles. We are confident that we are building a winning future in the area of implant solutions focused on the needs of our implant customers and their patients. Our connected and seamless concept for transforming digital implant dentistry is a first, essential step in this direction. Our vision for digital implant dentistry will be supported by a global clinical education program focused on end-to-end digital implant workflow solutions to achieve clinic, technical and practice excellence. The extensive curriculum is designed to build clinicians’ digital implant skills according to their level of experience and personal learning preferences. These include online education and personalized learning, as well as more than 50 state-of-the art Dentsply Sirona Academy education centers around the world.”

Start of clinical and registry study at Dentsply Sirona World

In cooperation with the McGuire Institute (iMc), two levels of evidence will be covered: The basis is provided by a prospective, multicenter, clinical study evaluating the complete digital workflow including 10 private practice investigators and their referrals for a five-year follow-up.

In addition, an ambitious registry study has been initiated aiming to involve more than 500 clinicians, placing over 2.500 implants for long-term follow-up. The beauty of a registry study is to obtain long-term clinical data without being prescriptive or having a specific endpoint. Therefore, it’s a powerful tool to create scientific evidence and market insights from the daily use of the product by the clinician. Both the clinical trial and the registry will collect “Real World Evidence” which is now recognized by the FDA as being the standard in collecting data and is meaningful to clinicians and patients alike.

Due to different approval and registration times, not all technologies and products are immediately available in all countries







Dentsply Sirona Extends the Lucitone Digital Print Denture System with New Material Indications and Planned Print Platform Validations for Asiga and SprintRay

Posted on Thursday, September 23, 2021

New denture tooth materials and indications significantly expand the production capabilities of the Lucitone Digital Print Denture System enabling the production of nearly all full arch denture types. Additionally, Dentsply Sirona announces the planned validation of Asiga and SprintRay 3D printers for Lucitone Digital Print Denture later in 2021. Both of these announcements further enable the continued digital transformation in dental laboratories worldwide.

Dentsply Sirona announced today four expansions of the Lucitone Digital Print Denture System, adding momentum to the digital transformation of the dental laboratory industry. Three of these expansions are for the digital production of custom tooth arches and segments, including the addition of Lucitone Digital Value 3D Economy Tooth and Trial Placement resin; DS Multilayer PMMA Discs for milling premium denture teeth; and the planned 2022 release of Lucitone Digital IPN, a printed premium denture tooth material. Later in 2021, planned printer validations for the Lucitone Digital Print Denture System will include Asiga Max UV and Pro 4K and SprintRay Pro 95 and Pro 55 series printers. Lucitone Digital Value and DS Multilayer PMMA denture tooth workflows are validated and immediately available for Carbon M-Series printers.

These important updates provide dental laboratories greater flexibility to fully digitize their denture production with the superior strength Lucitone Digital Print Denture System. The forthcoming validation of Asiga and SprintRay printers will enable more labs to benefit from the enhanced capacity, throughput and simplicity of Dentsply Sirona printed dentures, delivering repeatable and precise results.

“This collaboration with Dentsply Sirona continues Asiga’s open-system vision to bring best-in-class, highly accurate, highly affordable printing technology to the dental industry,” said Justin Elsey, founder and managing director of Asiga. “Together, we are opening access to dental labs and their patients to a superior combination of printed denture materials and printer accuracy and consistency.”

“At SprintRay, we strive to build products that work together to create opportunity for collaboration, innovation and, most importantly, outstanding clinical results,” said Amir Mansouri, CEO and Co-Founder. “Our cooperation with Dentsply Sirona embodies this vision by bringing together high quality products to deliver first-class service to patients all the while empowering improved efficiency and production for dental practices and labs everywhere.”

“Until the introduction of the Lucitone Digital Print Denture System, printed dentures were not a viable option for dental labs,” shared Julie Mroziak, Vice President, Dentsply Sirona Digital Lab and Preventive Solutions. “Now, with the planned validation of Asiga and SprintRay printers for Lucitone Digital Print Denture, and more material options, labs can begin transitioning from analog denture procedures to the more efficient, digitally printed denture workflows. The digital acceleration of the removable lab industry is truly exciting, and a win-win for the lab, dentist and patient experience.”

With the versatile Dentsply Sirona Multilayer PMMA 98mm disc range, dental laboratories now can mill custom tooth arches or segments to digitally manage more challenging removable cases, including reduced vertical and class II and class III occlusions. The disc product line provides comprehensive shade choices, seventeen in total, three-disc thicknesses, and delivers premium tooth esthetics.

Additionally, the dual-use Lucitone Digital Value 3D Economy Tooth & Trial Placement resin allows for printing try-in appliances and economy tooth arches and segments. This ready-to-print tooth material balances economic durability and esthetics. The material is available in six shades and suitable for all clinical classifications of full-arch denture cases.

The planned 2022 release of Lucitone Digital IPN will be Dentsply Sirona’s first printed premium denture tooth solution. This new material is expected to have exceptional wear characteristics and include sixteen shades plus bleach options. The Lucitone Digital IPN material will remove all barriers for dental laboratories’ migration to digital denture workflows.

The clinical and laboratory workflows are simple and easy for rapid integration. With these anticipated printer validations and material launches, laboratories of all sizes can better meet increasing volume demands, achieve greater profitability, and provide patients with an experience and denture that will make them smile in partnership with their dentist.
