Jit Vaghela talks about how the Smile Clinic Group have invested in digital dentistry to provide better care for their patients.
Hi, I’m Jit, the founder of the Smile Clinic Group and Smile Dental Academy.
Tell us more about the digital investments you have made
Investing in digital has always been really important to us. From a clinical perspective, we all still do clinical dentistry. My interest is implant dentistry for example. For us, having 3D imaging with CBCT is essential to providing the highest quality of treatment in a safe way.
This is also what we promote when we do teaching in academy. When it came to going digital and investing in a scanner, Henry Schein was my go-to. They helped me along the journey by talking to different brands. We decided to partner with Dentsply Sirona, who offered an incredible service and we got an incredible scanner from them.
When we wanted to think about getting a scanner through to actually creating the imaging room, again Henry Schein were instrumental to developing the plans. They got involved with the whole refit process, including the addition of a new surgery.
They were also there when it came to having the scanners installed on the day. This has just revolutionised how we operate within the practice. We’ve gone from having one scanner to begin with to now having four across the group. We have plans for another three to be installed as we are seeing the success and, ultimately, what it actually brings to our patients.
