What technology do I actually need to present big implant cases?
Keep it simple and buy only what helps the patient see. You need digital photos so you can manipulate images and build a real report for the case presentation. A panoramic film, or a cone beam if your cases call for it, lets you show the patient their right side, left side, top and bottom, and they get it instantly. Add a large screen so everyone in the room sees the same thing, and a way to project those photos, PowerPoint or Keynote, it does not matter. A digital smile preview is non negotiable. That is the core. Resist the rep selling you a shelf of plastic procedure models. Those do almost nothing unless you are attaching a full arch of teeth with implants. Pictures are worth a thousand words, so spend on the picture, not the prop.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
