AWARD WINNNING TEAM

BEST TEAM

Since winning several categories at the Irish Dentistry Awards and Overall Best Practice in 2015 we have continued to develop our team and constantly reassess what we do and how we do it.

TEAM APPROACH

Getting things right from the start, monitoring patient care, listening to patients’ suggestions and reading the patient reviews on completion of treatment, are an essential part of maintaining orthodontic excellence in the practice. The attention to detail starts before the first visit and continues through each and every visit to the practice. Any concerns are attended to by the superb and competent welcome team. Collation and delivery of all relevant information in the topsOrtho management system ensures the clinical team have up to date patient information available at all times.

Patients regularly remark enthusiastically on many things about the practice and most especially comment on the team members and the very pleasant atmosphere.

Patient use the Tops CheckIn for iPad app and enjoy the seasonal competitions at the scheduling desk.

New patients and their parents are brought on a practice tour to relax and familiarise themselves with the layout of the open plan practice. Ace Braces Orthodontics strives “to look after and provide for the needs of each and every patient and ensure that is exactly is what they experience while on their orthodontic journey at Ace Braces Orthodontics.”

Patient Communication

A Clinical team member either AILEEN, DEIRDRE, EILEEN SINEAD or HILARY escort patients to and from the surgery.

The staff/patient communication continues and by the time the patient is seated comfortably Dr. Kevin has been fully updated about any concerns or broken bracket.

Background music softens and dulls the noise of dental hand pieces while I-pads are available chairside for patient use. Conversation, laughter and fun are encouraged and enjoyed.

Advanced Technology

Ace Braces Orthodontics maintains a modern up to date office, continually adding new advances in diagnostics and treatment options as well as orthodontic specific software and digital technologies.

Technology in orthodontics has moved at a staggering pace in recent times and the introduction of these new technologies into the everyday workings of the orthodontic practice has had a major impact on the patient journey. Technology however is only useful if it benefits the patient and the clinician. Moving from a one size fits all approach, orthodontics has evolved into a bespoke patient experience, delivering a variety of customised treatment options and affording the patient an opportunity to choose an individual orthodontic care plan with shared decision making, to suit their needs.

For orthodontic practitioners, adopting the latest technology ensures delivery of an enhanced level of treatment, impressive clinical results, and comfort for patients and faster treatment times and in turn contributes significantly to a thriving practice.

3D Imaging

In 2015, Ace Braces Orthodontics invested in an iTero Element intraoral 3D imaging system.

Digital photography continues to play an important role in documenting the patient journey, images are captured throughout active treatment and on ‘debond day’ a ‘smile shot’ is taken and the clinicians have some fun with the patient in the photo space. On completion of treatment, a full set of post treatment digital images are taken, and together with the pre treatment images, all are given to the patient on a branded USB key. The USB holds the photographic evidence of the patient journey and patients are thrilled to have these moments to look back over their orthodontic journey and to share their new smile with friends and family.
