Anytime. Anywhere.
Those words define convenience. And relative to your oral health they also provide peace of mind in the context of virtual dental care.
Digital technology makes it easier to access dental expertise and dental services...anytime and anywhere. The benefits of virtual dental care provide convenient options to stay consistent with your oral health care.
The advantages of virtual dental care speak for themselves
Convenience and accessibility
It cannot be overstated that convenience is a major factor in deciding about the services you choose. Traditional dental appointments require advanced planning and scheduling, arranging for time away from work, personal interests, or school, and making the commute to the local dental office.
Virtual dental care steps up the convenience option.
- Consult with a licensed dentist from the comfort of your home, office, or while traveling.
- Experience a flexible option when your schedule is busy, when you live in a remote location, or when mobility challenges are an issue.
Reduced anxiety and increased comfort around your dental care
It's common to feel anxiety about a dental visit or pending dental treatment. Virtual dental consultations can help alleviate your initial anxiety by giving you a comfortable alternative to an in-office dental consultation.
You can discuss your dental condition in your own environment while creating a treatment plan that addresses your personal issues with dental anxiety and comfortability.
Access to care
Virtual dental care introduces you to dental professionals and provides a timely connection to their expertise. The digital environment eliminates the initial in-person appointment.
- Discuss your symptoms with an online dentist in real-time
- Get an initial diagnosis and treatment plan or next steps recommendations
- Obtain a timely second opinion on a recent dental diagnosis
Your virtual access is particularly useful if you're experiencing a dental emergency, have a severe toothache, have a broken or lost tooth, or are dealing with an oral infection.
Cost effectiveness
By comparison, a virtual dental visit is less costly than a traditional (in-office) visit. You also save transportation costs and less time away from work.
A virtual dental consultation can also provide an early diagnosis that could potentially reduce the need for more extensive or costly treatment in the future.
Personalized follow-up care
Though online, a virtual dental consultation can feel more personal. The online portal utilized during your visit also enables you to upload images or videos that further reveal your dental issue or concerns.
An online dentist can review your personal data in real-time and (if necessary) connect you with a local dental professional who can provide in-person treatment and/or necessary follow-up.
Technology integration
Virtual dental care has the capability to integrate with other tools and technology that enhances the quality of your oral health care.
AI scans can assist your online dentist with:
- Diagnostic data
- Image analysis
- Detecting conditions such as cavities, gum disease, and other issues
- Necessary treatment planning and specialist referrals
Enhanced preventive care
Virtual dental visits encourage a proactive approach to staying consistent with your oral health. Scheduled online dental appointments help spot potential dental problems before they worsen.
An online dentist can recommend preventive care and timely treatment that keep your teeth and gums healthy and free from disease or other risks.
An educational resource
The more educated and informed you are about your dental health the more empowered you will feel. Virtual dental care connects you with relevant and useful information about your teeth, gums, oral hygiene, and diet and lifestyle recommendations.
Relevant information can lead to healthier habits around your oral health.
