In the rapidly evolving field of restorative dentistry, modern dental materials are revolutionizing the way clinicians approach treatment, offering enhanced outcomes for patients and streamlined processes for practitioners. These advanced materials provide superior durability, esthetics, and biocompatibility, ensuring long-lasting and natural-looking restorations. For patients, this means fewer visits, reduced discomfort, and improved oral health overall. Clinicians also benefit from the ease of use, increased efficiency, and the ability to deliver high-quality care consistently.
As a result, both patients and dental professionals are experiencing the substantial value these innovations bring to the dental industry. However, it can be hard to know where to start when considering upgrading your dental materials. You are familiar with your current workflow, so why change it now?
Any changes to your process can feel like a daunting chore that is easier to put off than to check off. However, much like installing that new ceiling fan that’s been collecting dust in the garage, completing that upgrade will feel like a breath of fresh air once you do roll up your sleeves and implement the modern technology!
That’s why Zest Dental Solutions is here to provide you with an overview of our latest restorative materials so you can make an informed decision when shopping for your practice upgrades. Your dental staff, patients, and bottom line will thank us later!
Feeling overwhelmed? Start with a convenient trial kit bundle!
In an effort to ensure taking the leap of faith to try a new product is as convenient and risk-free as possible, we’ve made a special bundle of all the products you’ll need to quickly and effectively complete a composite restoration.
Our Restorative Materials Trial Kit is a trio of powerhouse products that empower you with the most effective, esthetic, and cutting-edge materials on the market. Here’s what’s included:
MicroPrime G
Compatible with popular adhesive systems, cements, and substrates, MicroPrime™ G is a universal desensitizing agent that eliminates post-operative sensitivity and facilitates patient comfort. Our unique combination of glutaraldehyde and HEMA present in MicroPrime G, acts as both a flocculating constituent that strengthens the collagen framework, and a facilitating agent that helps create tubular occlusion with minimal or no sensitivity. This desensitizing agent also limits the movement of fluids without affecting the strength of adhesive systems while offering reliable antimicrobial protection. This all makes it a must-have for your practice.
Prelude One
Prelude One™ is an award-winning, light-curable, single component, self-etch adhesive system, boasting a single-step application. This material is perfect for bonding direct composite resins to a wide variety of dental surfaces including dentin, enamel, Zirconia, Alumina, noble metals and alloys, porcelain, lithium disilicate, and other resin materials. Featuring an impressive, very low film thickness of 5.5 microns, Prelude One is compatible with light-cured, dual-cured, and auto-cured composites without the need for an additional activator. Plus, it provides high-bond strengths to direct and indirect substrates!
ZNano Shade Adaptive
Say goodbye to extensive inventories and hello to simple and convenient color matching! Life-like esthetics are within reach thanks to ZNano™ Shade-Adaptive Universal Nanocomposite. This fan-favorite nanocomposite offers simple color-matching and swift placement of direct restorations thanks to a uniquely small particle size. These small particles effortlessly and effectively facilitate proper light scattering in the visual spectrum to create the desired chameleon effect. A small particle size also means less roughness for reduced wear and tear on the composite and a higher gloss for a natural look. All in all, this light-cured, radio-opaque, true nano-composite boasts both esthetic and mechanical benefits, making it a clear choice for your patients.
Try out all three of these must-have products today and see how they can help revolutionize and uplevel your cosmetic and restorative composite procedures!
Hesitant to invest in new materials?
Sometimes changing a workflow up can be scary not only because it entails learning a new process, but it can also come with questions of whether or not the investment will pay off. One way to ensure a successful roll out is to simply tell your patients about this exciting new upgrade!
While they likely won’t understand (or frankly care about) the scientific nuances of dental composite materials, most patients are eager and excited to learn about the benefits that they will receive. Visiting the dentist is nerve wracking and empowering your patients with knowledge can help put them at-ease and more keen to accept treatment.
It may seem silly or insignifigant to broadcast a simple change like introducing a new dental material. But by keeping the message high-level and benefit-focused, you’ll avoid overwhelming your patients with too much information. Focus on telegraphing the why and the more salient points. For example you could include the following highlights and messaging in an email about offering a new composite resin like ZNano:
“We’re proud to announce that we are adding a new service to our practice in an effort to continually improve our services and provide you with the best dental care possible. If you’re coming to our practice to fill a cavity soon, here’s what you can count on:
- Virtually undetectable dental fillings.
- Less sensitivity during your treatment.
- Quicker appointments so you can get back to your day.”
By including this update in a simple email newsletter or social media post, you’ll be building excitement and interest. Worried that it might signal to patients that you were previously using inferior materials? Don’t be! It will actually help improve their impression of your practice by demonstrating to your patients that you are committed to staying at the forefront of your industry.
Innovation is a good thing and when they see that your practice is actively investing in their smile, it will help instill a sense of confidence in the quality of your services and get them excited about future appointments.
Taking this approach can even help attract new patients too! Now more than ever, patients are taking to the internet to learn about the healthcare and the dental treatments they’d like to receive. With so much democratized content available, they are able to decide and discern what type of practice they would like to go to. More often than not, new patients are looking for practices that offer less invasive, more modern treatments rather than just blindly staying with the general dentist they saw as a child in their hometown.
Thus, by adding your new services and upgrades to your practice’s website, new patients who are seaching for specific terms like “esthetic composite fillingings” or “pain-free dentistry” are more likely to find your practice!
