Investing in technology is a big decision for any practice owner. Almost every practice has had the experience of investing in technology that doesn’t get used (we’ve seen a lot of “technology garages” in offices with equipment that sits idle). In other cases, when practice owners are more hesitant to make tech investments, the practice can miss out on important opportunities for growth, efficiency, and improvement in patient care.

So, how do you decide?

In today’s episode of The Double Your Production Podcast, Dr. John Meis and Wendy Briggs are talking through their process for evaluating tech purchases in a dental practice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How different technologies impact case acceptance and a patient’s understanding of their health
• Why it’s not always best to be an early adopter, and how long to wait to know that a technology is viable and lasting
• How to use the “3 hats” concept to make better decisions when it comes to investing in tech for your practice
• A simple mental filter to use to avoid buying technology that is new and exciting, but won’t actually move your practice forward

They also talk about 3 products specifically: cone beams, AI software, and digital scans. They discuss these products and how to determine whether it’s time to invest (so if you’re considering any of these technologies, don’t miss this episode).
