00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.257
My name is Dr. Michael Haight.

00:00:01.640 --> 00:00:04.029
I'm a practicing dentist
in Albuquerque, New Mexico,

00:00:04.243 --> 00:00:05.914
and my practice is Parkway Dental.

00:00:07.071 --> 00:00:09.200
Yeah, I think we've all been
to those places

00:00:09.201 --> 00:00:15.643
that you feel like you are out of the 70s
where just things just appear outdated,

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:20.014
that there isn't
a lot of attention to detail

00:00:20.343 --> 00:00:23.371
of what the patient's going to experience

00:00:23.372 --> 00:00:25.757
when they're in their office
or in their chair.

00:00:26.414 --> 00:00:31.571
You can just see
that the equipment looks old and outdated

00:00:31.929 --> 00:00:34.829
and we all understand
what new technology looks like.

00:00:35.886 --> 00:00:39.671
We used to have old rotary phones
and then old flip phones,

00:00:39.672 --> 00:00:41.786
but not too many of us have that anymore.

00:00:42.014 --> 00:00:47.160
Most of us have some iPhone
or other technology smartphone.

00:00:47.771 --> 00:00:51.511
I think we all have seen and can feel
the difference of a dental office

00:00:51.512 --> 00:00:55.786
that is up to date and one that
hasn't made any changes in decades.

00:00:56.429 --> 00:00:58.686
Yeah, I believe technology
is really important

00:00:59.071 --> 00:01:04.600
because it just allows the practitioner
to have more predictable outcomes,

00:01:05.271 --> 00:01:06.914
which means greater success,

00:01:07.629 --> 00:01:13.129
a better patient experience ultimately,
and just makes things easier.

00:01:14.014 --> 00:01:19.371
Just allows you to do those procedures
much easier, better, faster

00:01:19.372 --> 00:01:20.639
than what we could do in the past.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.800
In my office,
I've just invested in that technology.

00:01:23.801 --> 00:01:27.599
I love technology that allows
the patient to have a better experience.

00:01:27.943 --> 00:01:29.729
That's quicker, that's easier for them.

00:01:30.571 --> 00:01:34.214
With digital technology,
we scan the teeth.

00:01:34.771 --> 00:01:38.386
You don't have to worry about a mouthful
of material that doesn't taste good.

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:40.257
You don't have to worry
that you're going to gag.

00:01:40.529 --> 00:01:44.357
We can scan quicker than we could ever
take an impression before,

00:01:44.843 --> 00:01:48.400
more accurate
with a better outcome for the patient.

00:01:48.886 --> 00:01:51.057
If you haven't been to a dental office
in a long time,

00:01:51.329 --> 00:01:53.357
and the good news
is dentistry has changed.

00:01:54.057 --> 00:01:58.285
I invite you to call my dental practice
so that we can show you the advancement

00:01:58.286 --> 00:02:02.700
and technology and tools that we have
to help create a beautiful smile for him.
