Lindenbrook Dental Care in Flint Township, Mich., said it has seen its largest ever increase in number of patients because of the preventive measures and new technology they have added to keep patients safe.
The practice added an oral suction device that filters a patient’s mouth while a dental hygienist is working on it. It has also maintained several safety measures, including masks, plexiglass and fogging the entire office with a chemical that kills bacteria and viruses.
Practice Administrator Brent Gaffney said there are still some patients hesitant to come back to the office because of COVID-19 and that it has been challenging finding new staff, but the practice still has a solid team in place to support operations.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
