Success in dental practice will depend on how well dentists leverage computer technology with their profession. Scheduling, consultations, insurance filing, and patient records are moving to the Internet. However, finding the time and resources to take full advantage of these powerful new tools remains a serious issue.4 For this reason, it is essential that dentists find the right technology partner to help them navigate these unknown waters. As with any technology, the product is only a small part of the purchase. The support and the people behind the product-that is, the connectivity among dentists and dental technology companies-will ultimately allow dentists to obtain the best combination of products and services available and have more time to connect with their profession and their patients.
