The after-hours clinic operates once a month from 5-8 p.m. to treat dental patients who are unable to visit during typical business hours, according to an April 1 news release.
Treatments at the clinic include X-rays, exams, extractions, fillings, root canals and cleanings. The university will also test new technology at the clinic, including an artificial intelligence assistant that can log patient information and additional notes.
The university plans to run the pilot until July. If the pilot goes well, the university hopes to then begin operating the after-hours clinic permanently.
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.
