Integrating Curve into Existing Workflows Part 1

The efficacy of technology integration is just as significant as empowering your team with powerful tools.

The Importance of Technology Integration in Dentistry

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), innovation is the future of dentistry. In 2023, the ADA reported that 85% of dental practices adopting new technology reported improved patient care and efficiency. Staying ahead of the curve is essential for maintaining a competitive edge. Here's why:

• Enhanced Patient Care: Precision in diagnoses and treatment plans leads to better patient outcomes.

• Increased Efficiency: Automating tasks like appointment scheduling, and patient billing and payments frees up valuable time for your team.

• Exceptional Dental Patient Communication: Advanced tools enable gentle direct marketing, automated appointment reminders, receipt of digital patient intake information, pre- and post-appointment instructions, visit summaries, treatment plan forms, and more to keep patients informed and comfortable.

• Perception Advantage: Integrating the latest technology shows your commitment to innovative care, positioning you as a leader in your field.

• Centralized Data and Optimally Organized Files: When all patient records are stored in one accessible location, the entire team can rapidly access everything they need without spending precious time going in and out of software programs and searching for documents. With your appointment schedules, patient records, and dental practice analytics all securely stored and updated in real time in one centralized location in the cloud, cross-team and cross-location collaboration is more than possible; it’s amplified.

Dental Practice Owners and Managers Want the Benefits, But …

Integrating new technology often sparks many questions: 

• Will it negatively disrupt your practice workflows and quality of care? 

• Is the learning curve too steep?

• Will its advanced features be fully utilized?

• Will your team be resistant to the changes it brings?

• Will there be a measurable return on investment?

• Is the technology at the right stage of development and proof to move forward now?

• Will there be ongoing support from the technology developer?

• In the case of software, how well will your current data integrate with it? Will there be conversion issues?

• How many dental practices are using it now? What has been their experience? What results do they report? 

What if the right solution could empower your team, improve patient care, and seamlessly fit into your current workflows? Curve SuperHero™ – the industry’s #1 all-in-one cloud-based dental practice management software platform, is such a solution. 

With Curve, your practice can adopt powerful tools without unnecessary disruption, ensuring your team continues to deliver exceptional patient care.

How Curve Makes Integration Easy

While new technology offers many benefits, disruption is a common concern. Curve directly addresses this with Curve’s 4-step implementation process designed for seamless integration while minimizing practice disruption. This includes a kickoff meeting, data conversion (if needed), seven live training sessions using the practice's data, and a Go Live phase with additional support. After going live, Curve offers a three-month high-touch transition with ongoing check-ins, followed by lifetime support with 24/7/365 availability. Practices also gain access to a searchable library of resources through Curve Community.

Curve’s software design directly addresses making onboarding smooth and user-friendly with: 

• Intuitive Interface: The platform’s user-friendly design minimizes the learning curve, ensuring your team can quickly and confidently adopt its integrated tools. 

• Built-in Staff Training: Web-based training sessions ensure your team feels confident with the new tools. The Boot Camp includes seven core sessions covering database setup, dental patient management, clinical workflows, insurance, and billing. Additional optional training is available for advanced features like imaging, online forms, and Curve GRO^®, the platform’s built-in patient engagement solution. Trainers provide small, digestible sessions and Go Live preparation to ensure practices are fully prepared. 

• Continuous Support: Curve Community is an online information hub that gives you real-time access to support and training information whenever needed. Curve’s dedicated support team is always available to help, ensuring your practice continues to succeed.

Curve Receives High Praise for Its Adoption Ease

Many dental practice managers and dentists have reported their pleasure with how easy Curve is to learn and use.

• Very user-friendly, up to date with current patient/user expectations. Any time I have been unfamiliar with doing a task, using the community function to review tutorials has saved me a lot of time. I have been able to proceed with the task without calling support. Very easy to learn!!!

• Very intuitive and user-friendly software. An excellent product, especially for a general practice. Quick and easy to learn and get started. Clear and organized.

• Curve is very easy to use and very user-friendly. Navigating through the program is manageable for even the least computer-savvy person. When we train a new staff member, I never worry about teaching them the program because it is so easy to learn.

• Curve is very user-friendly, and the community team for training new hires or refreshing your memory on a certain topic is a breeze! There are countless videos and tutorials to help you along the way. The support team is always available and easily accessible. Highly recommend!

• Very user friendly! Great customer service too! They have the "submit issue or question" ticket option and can make suggestions. Very easy transition from other software and quite a bit cheaper.

• The software is not difficult to learn, is very user-friendly, and has fewer "clicks"/steps than other dental software programs. The customer service is also outstanding. They answer the phone quickly and are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend it!
