Presenting the Best Dental Treatment Plan with BiteFX

Would you agree that the best dentistry is “no dentistry and a good bite”, a quote attributed to Dr. L. D. Pankey? (See blog article Surmounting the Paradox of Being a 'No Dentistry” Dentist)

For most occlusally aware dentists, the best dental treatment plan they can offer to those suffering from some form of occlusal disease is one that deals with the root cause of many of their problems – their occlusion. Yet some dentists either refrain from presenting such plans or don't gain acceptance for those plans because:

• Too many patients have said “no” to occlusion-based treatments, or
• The patient just gives a blank stare when occlusion is explained (i.e. they just don't get it), or
• The patient doesn't look like they can afford the treatment

BiteFX changes the dynamic of dental treatment presentations so that explaining occlusal disease is a boost to the treatment plan, not an inhibitor.

Dr. James Poyak, a dentist from Scottsdale, Arizona, found that BiteFX made a significant difference:

Owning BiteFX has sharpened my skills in dentistry. I have taken numerous classes from Dr. Dawson and the Pankey Institute, but never felt that I had the tools for communicating to my patients regarding occlusal disease. BiteFX has removed this obstacle for me with patient friendly animations that explain the problem in a way that makes sense to the patients. Since implementing BiteFX, my presentations and acceptance of occlusal related disease and treatment has soared. Literally, every patient has said "Thanks. That was really helpful. Now I understand it." The pieces of the puzzle are now all fitting together.
