Why should I consider using lasers?
Because I considered their advances, my patients have benefited from a kinder and gentler way to receive treatment. My practice enjoys an enhanced image in the community and the financial benefits have increased my bottom line. Remember, patients are becoming increasingly aware of laser use in Medicine and Dentistry and may look to you to keep up with modern technology and improvements in patient care.
Back to topDo lasers in dentistry pay for themselves?
It is easy to earn additional practice income with a laser, if the Dentist has a clear vision, specific practice goals and properly integrates the laser that is the best suited for his practice. Laser purchases are normally financed over 3 to 5 years. However, in reality, most laser users are pleasantly surprised to find that they actually pay for themselves in less than a year!
Back to topWhy should I use the LDR Consulting Service?
Laser Companies want to sell you their laser. This is how they make their money. Laser Dentistry Resources' Consulting Services put YOU, the DENTIST, at the center of the discussion. Once we determine what you are trying to accomplish, you can then choose the laser that is the best fit for you. It is at this point that we go shopping with you for the laser equipment with your interest as our primary focus.

Back to topOnce I purchase a laser for my practice, how will I maintain momentum in my laser integration program?
This is the challenge because laser sales companies tend to "move on" to their next prospective buyer once you have purchased your laser. With LDR, we stay with you by providing additional trainings, conducting regularly scheduled Conference Calls and maintaining the LDRUSA.com website with updated laser sales and training events. Also, you may want to become a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
