New dental practices are often hit with a range of decisions to make all at once. As a new dental practice owner, finding the right software for your practice right away can make a significant difference in your business’s success down the road. Similarly, there are substantial advantages to implementing a new software suite like XLDent as early on as possible in your practice’s launch to take advantage of our proven workflows and customizable features for newly established dental practices. 

 

Dentists and their staff should not need to be technology experts to run a successful dental practice. Certain software systems are often much better for new practices because of their usability design. More experienced software users might be more proficient with any given software product in your dental practice. Still, the good news is that even staff who are new to using software tools as part of their dental practice workflow improve at similar rates to experts when the software systems themselves are designed with new users in mind. Thus, good usability is a crucial metric to the success of all dental software implementations. Usability is also directly related to your entire practice’s overall user satisfaction with the software product. 

 

At XLDent, we’ve taken a particular interest in the experiences and needs of new dental practices. Starting a new practice is a huge undertaking, and probably one of your professional life’s most significant decisions. The content, integrity, and continuity of your electronic dental records will play a key role in your ability to grow efficiently and profitably, as well as maintain valuable patient relationships and patient engagement mechanisms. XLDent’s All-Inclusive Suite of products and services includes all the tools you will need to make this journey. XLDent is your long-term solution for equipping your dental office with a customizable, scalable, and robust Practice and Clinical Management software system.

 

When you choose XLDent as a new startup dental practice, you will receive our special package for new business owners. In addition to our tried and true methods for getting started with the software, the time with your Getting Started Coach will focus on planning, building, and launching your top priorities – and leave you with a strategic plan to accomplish what’s next.

End of Year Goals and Your Dental Practice

Posted December 9, 2020 by Beth

XLD_End of Year Banner

 

This year is finally winding to a close, and many dental practices are looking to meet their end of year goals. In 2020 more than most years, dental practices are finding that they have fallen a bit short of where they wanted to be at the beginning of the year. The end of any year can be stressful for every dental practice. If you want to end the year on a higher note, consider this list of ideas for your practice to review before 2021 sneaks up on you.

 

Thank Loyal Patients 

Whether it’s a card in the mail, an email, or just a simple text, letting your patients know you’ve appreciated their business in the past year, it’s just a best practice to reach out to the patients you’ve worked with within 2020. Let them know that they are still in your thoughts, and they’ll keep you at the top of mind, too. 

 

Reschedule Cancelled Appointments

This past year has been the year of canceled appointments. Whether it was due to office closure, local health directives, or personal discretion, there are plenty of patients that missed appointments they’d probably like to fit in yet this year. Rescheduling patients that missed their appointments in March and April could be just the right fix for your end of year shortfall. 

 

Check-In with Inactive Patients

The end of the year is an excellent time to check in with any patients that haven’t been to your office in a while. Reactivating patients that need a visit from within your database of patients can be a much more targeted and cost-effective approach to efficiently filling up your schedule. 

 

Target Patients with Remaining Benefits

Many patients with insurance funds set aside at the end of the year would instead schedule an appointment then lose out on free preventative care. Use XLDent’s reporting feature to create a list of patients with insurance funds remaining in 2020, then alert those patients of any opening you might have in your schedule.

Software Referrals for Dental Practices

Posted September 11, 2020 by Beth

XLDent_SoftwareReferrals

 

No one knows referrals like dentists know referrals. Dentists make referrals based on the patient’s unique needs and based on the consulting or specialist dentist’s education, training, and experience. In dentistry, referrals are a critical part of choosing the right provider and receiving the best care. The same is true of referrals for the tools you use in your practice, including software like XLDent. We recently launched XLDent Referrals because we recognize how mutually beneficial it is to grow our company with dentists similar to our successful clients.

When finding new software for your practice, you will consider many different platforms, products, features, and capabilities. A referral from someone who uses the software that you are considering is a pivotal way to choose which investment you’ll make in your practice.

Choosing software is not just selecting a product based on features–it is also appointing a software company that will play a significant role in your practice’s success. Another clinician’s recommendation is invaluable when looking for the right fit. We have collected some of the biggest reasons we believe referrals are essential considerations when selecting the right software for your dental practice’s health. Among them are the many reasons that XLDent clients refer to us.

January Thaw at XLDent!

Posted January 15, 2014 by Dawn

This past weekend temperatures soared to 40 degrees here in central Minnesota. It was truly a January Thaw! Now temperatures are settling in the low to mid 20’s and we are hopeful of more snow. Minnesota is a state of all season activities. In the winter time, XLDent staff enjoy ice fishing, skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Thus, our wish for more snow.

The recent warm weather put a fresh “spring” in our step this past week. We continue to develop content material for our new Electronic Dental Records Toolkit and Dental Practice Management Systems content is also being reviewed. Progress is being made on scheduling more User Groups for 2014 as well. Stay Tuned!

Wireless Tablet PCs are becoming main stream and XLDent™ is built from the ground up to work with this new technology. Many dentists are frustrated with the limitations that desktop computers, the keyboard and mouse have in the treatment room.

Dusty cables and keeping everything clean adds to this frustration.  With XLDent™ there are no cables, because of its wireless design.  Plus it is totally mobile!  This intuitive, mobile system gives doctor and staff the power to dramatically streamline workflows.

XLDent™ has the power to streamline workflow in a wireless environment.  To learn more, stop by booth #1133 to get a demonstration of the Dental Practice Management system at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting or visit www.xldent.com.
