Dental care delivery: The changing tide

Dunbar and Turner talks about dental industry among others. In our pandemic-shifted society, we now must take a closer look at how we interact with our patient--the consumer. Long before the world shut down from COVID-19, the dental patient was already presenting with a more consumer-driven mindset than ever before, all the while asking for transparency, convenience, and flexibility to be top priorities. As industry experts and clinicians, it is our hope that the following pages will help guide and inspire you in your practice of dentistry. Whether you read through it with your study club, use it as a handbook, or peruse it on your own, think of this as a guide to future-proof your career and business. The truth is it has never been easier to care for our patients. The bottom line is this: dentistry was already poised for change. Change was coming in the blink of an eye. Now it is up to us to follow through and implement this change for a bright and successful future.
