Emerging Dental practice models

-Dental report From Mikata Dental Equipment Company

On the horizon are several emerging dental practice models — models that the ADTA study concludes will collectively produce and deliver 60 percent or more of all dental services by 2010. The following five models present a combination of services and access to address changing needs and wants of the consumer:

Ready Access Model — High-process standardization, convenience-oriented, highly flexible operating systems, focused on a dynamic "retail" service experience

Tech Station Model — High level of technical resources, procedural leading edge, "gee-whiz" experience backed by relatively high-touch patient communication

Small Group Model — Well-integrated staff with broad range of scope, seamless teamwork of staff geared to provide service efficiency and throughput

Cosmetic Center Model — A variation on the conventional practice. with heavy emphasis on elective care in personal aesthetics and restorative services

Super Norm Model — Emphasis on high-touch, service-intensive patient experience, customer intimacy, and high-margin work with demanding patients
