AUSTIN, April 19, 2024— As a result of the success of their initial partnership, Smile Doctors and DentalMonitoring have announced they are renewing their relationship. The partnership has allowed Smile Doctors to offer DentalMonitoring's innovative remote-care technology to its ever-growing network of affiliated practices.
"I am thrilled about continuing our partnership with Smile Doctors. This long-term commitment is a testament that DentalMonitoring makes life in orthodontics better for patients and practitioners," said Philippe Salah, CEO of DentalMonitoring.
Through the Smile Doctors Anywhere app, developed and powered by DentalMonitoring, patients have access to cutting-edge remote-care technology. The AI-powered platform and patented technology can detect and monitor clinical and oral observations remotely via intraoral scans the patient takes from home with their smartphone. The doctor and care teams then review these scans and provide treatment guidance directly to the patient—all within the app.
“This technology is a gamechanger for patients,” said Dr. Josh Adcox, Clinical Director of Remote Care at Smile Doctors. “It reduces the number of in-office appointments we need for both braces and aligner treatment, freeing up time in our parents’ and patients’ busy schedules. For my clinic team, it means we can maintain an exceptional quality of care while meaningfully reducing chair time and comfort visits.”
The system is designed to integrate seamlessly with practice management software, too—including billing, scheduling, and patient communication platforms—reducing manual processes for every team member in the clinic.
“Being at the intersection of innovation and exceptional patient care is the top priority for Smile Doctors,” said J. Hedrick, CEO of Smile Doctors. “Incorporating industry-first technology with partners like DentalMonitoring is essential as we continuously focus on heightening the experience for our teams and our patients, and we are proud to be early adopters of DentalMonitoring and its largest provider.”
The renewed partnership between Smile Doctors and DentalMonitoring will allow both companies to continue to innovate in service of patients and practitioners alike, and positions Smile Doctors’ affiliated practices as leaders in their markets and in the field of orthodontics.
