A trip to the dentist for some can be daunting (we get it, no one’s excited when it comes to the sound of those drills!) which is why many dentists use the waiting area as a chance to share helpful information that could help to ease anxieties.
Digital signage is transforming how dental practices communicate with their patients. It offers dynamic ways to share information and improve patient experience.
In this article we drill down (see what we did there) into why and how digital signage is fast becoming a go-to choice for dental practices.
Why digital signage is essential for dental practices
Digital signage is quickly becoming an essential tool for dental practices. Not only do digital signage displays create a more professional and modern aesthetic to a dental practice waiting room, but they also play a key role in improving patient satisfaction.
It also makes your practice run just as smooth as a perfectly polished tooth!
Let’s look at a few more of the benefits of digital signage in dental practices:
Reduce patient anxiety with digital displays
We get it, not everyone likes going to the dentist – in fact a shocking 53% of the UK population fear it! But what if we said that digital signage could help take the edge off for your patients? Picture this: your anxious patients are sitting in the waiting room and instead of dreading what’s beyond the door, they are greeted with serene scenes of nature, calming waves on our crystal-clear screens. Who wouldn’t want that?
Increase communication using digital signage
Are your staff tired of answering the same questions over and over…and over again? Digital signage can help! It’s like having a member of staff who will never grow tired, never forgets, and can answer any questions before they are even asked!
Digital signage displays are a brilliant tool for improving communication between the dental practice and their patients. Addressing frequently asked questions, can help patients feel more informed and confident about their treatment choices.
Promote good oral hygiene education using digital displays
Who said learning about dental hygiene can’t be fun!?…Dental waiting areas provide a great opportunity to educate and share some of the latest developments in dental treatments and highlight the benefits of specific hygiene products or services that your dental practice provides. Your patients can sit back, relax, and let our digital signage displays make oral hygiene look almost as exciting as getting a new toothbrush!
Reduce perceived waiting times with digital displays
Let’s be honest – while Brits might be world champions at queueing, nobody actually enjoys waiting, especially at the dentist! Fear not, digital signage to the rescue! These magical screens can help reduce perceived waiting times, minimise patient frustrations and create a more positive overall waiting experience.
By displaying live wait times and any delays, you’ll spare your receptionist the endless “Am I next?!’ questions every 2 minutes. Trust us, they’ll thank you for it!
Streamline dental practice operations
It’s not just patients who get all the perks from digital signage displays – your staff can enjoy the benefits too! Your staff can see scheduling and appointment updates at a glance, helping to keep everyone in the loop. Important messages and reminders can be effortlessly communicated to staff, enhancing coordination and productivity.
Why dental practices benefit from digital signage solutions
As you can see, digital signage is more than a pretty face for dental practices – it offers a range of benefits, from enhancing patient experience to streamlining operations. By integrating digital signage into your dental practice, you can improve communication, increase patient satisfaction, and boost overall efficiency.
