What time savings threshold makes a piece of dental technology genuinely worth its cost? Roughly twenty to thirty minutes saved per procedure, with anything below fifteen minutes rarely producing meaningful operational benefit. The math runs as follows. A device that saves five to ten minutes per procedure rarely translates into recoverable productive time because most doctors cannot reliably capture five-minute increments. The saved time leaks into transition, conversation, or simply lower throughput. Fifteen to twenty minute savings sit at the borderline. Some practices structured tightly enough to harvest those increments turn them into measurable additional production. Most do not. Twenty to [...]
