4 Ways Paperless Practices Have The Edge

In 2023, many modern dental offices have adopted paperless processes to some degree. However, for practices where digital dominates paper, there are common trends that set them apart: 

1. Higher Productivity

The staff members in the average dental office spend around
600 hours/year manually entering data. Busywork does not always equal productivity. Automating data entry gives dental teams more time to spend with patients and upsell services.

2. Better Retention Rates

80% of dental patients prefer paperless dental office processes like online scheduling, digital patient forms, and text to pay and 28% of patients switch to other offices that have these modern conveniences. 

3. More Profitable

Replacing manual recall, payment and review systems with digital upgrades not only saves practices time and money, systems like practice analytics software can help dentists make better decisions that lead to a production boost.

4. Lower Stress Levels

While it’s difficult to track “stress” metrics, dental teams that lean on digital systems, especially when those systems are merged into an all-in-one software, have fewer tedious, repetitive tasks that often cause stress.
