In the pursuit of creating an exceptional patient experience, Dot Smiles boasts digital flat screen monitors right next to treatment chairs. These screens provide you with direct access to your dental imaging and treatment plans, promoting an open and informed dialogue between you, Dr. Joffre, and our team. By enabling you to visually interact with your treatment plan and progress, these monitors contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the orthodontic process and assist in informed decision-making. In addition to their educational role, these monitors transform orthodontic adjustments into a more engaging experience.

Dot Smiles offers integrated cutting-edge technologies like SmileSnap and remote monitoring to revolutionize the way orthodontic care is delivered. These digital advancements empower our patients by offering unparalleled flexibility and convenience.

Through SmileSnap, we provide remote consultations, giving our patients access to expert advice and initial assessments without the need to visit our office. This user-friendly platform allows patients to submit photos of their teeth, enabling Dr. Joffre and his team to evaluate their needs and provide personalized treatment recommendations.

By leveraging remote monitoring solutions, we offer Invisalign patients the ability to track their treatment progress from the comfort of their homes, offices, or travel adventures, as the case may be. Our state-of-the-art monitoring technology captures images of your teeth using a smartphone and sends them to our team for evaluation. This not only minimizes in-person visits but also allows us to detect any discrepancies in your treatment plan early, ensuring a seamless and successful orthodontic journey.

Digital x-rays have become an integral part of modern orthodontics, and Dot Smiles is at the forefront of this technological shift. Digital x-rays offer:

• Impeccable detail: Exceptionally detailed images facilitate a precise picture of your oral health, enabling a highly accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment planning.
• Instant feedback: Immediate results eliminate processing time, equipping Dr. Joffre and his team to discuss your orthodontic needs promptly, ensuring you stay informed every step of the way.
• Enhanced safety: Compared to traditional x-ray technologies, digital x-rays emit significantly less radiation, making it a safe choice for patients of all ages.
• Less waste: Digital imaging reduces chemical waste and eliminates the need for the disposal of used film materials, aligning with our commitment to sustainable practices.
• No shipping: Easy electronic sharing eliminates the need to mail physical copies, reducing paper consumption and decreasing the carbon footprint associated with traditional mailing practices.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans have become a game-changer in dental imaging technology. We have made this advanced technology a cornerstone in our practice, providing:

• Detailed imaging: CBCT scans produce clear and detailed 3D images of teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone in a single scan. They offer a level of detail even x-rays cannot provide, enabling highly accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
• Reduced radiation exposure: Compared to traditional CT scans, CBCT scans emit a significantly lower level of radiation, reaffirming our commitment to patient safety.
• Minimal scan time: CBCT scans are quick and seamless, taking only a few seconds to complete a full-mouth scan. This elevates comfort and reduces overall time spent in our office.
• Efficient workflow: The digital images produced by CBCT scans can be easily shared with other specialists as needed, improving efficiency of treatment.

We choose to keep Electronic Medical Records (EMR). By transitioning to digital record-keeping, our practice and patients benefit from:

• Quick access: Centralized digital storage drastically reduces the time needed to retrieve patient information, streamlining our processes and improving your experience.
• Confidentiality: Robust data protection measures ensure your privacy.
• Eco-friendly: The reduced need for paper usage aligns with Dr. Joffre’s efforts to promote environmentally-conscious practices.

We aim to make every facet of the orthodontic journey as convenient and uncomplicated as possible, including payment. Recognizing that the needs of our patients extend beyond clinical services, we integrate a stress-free payment process. Online payment for orthodontic care offers:

• Straightforward transactions: Our online payment system is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing you to view payment history, statements, and upcoming payments.
• Instant payments: No waiting for transactions to clear. 
• Secure platform: Safety is our priority. That’s why we offer a secure payment platform that protects your banking information.
• 24/7 accessibility: Our online payment solutions are available at any time, offering the flexibility to complete your transactions when it suits you best.
