As we emerge out of the coronavirus pandemic, 2022 is proving to be a year marked by reinvention. One of the biggest needs for hands-on industries like dentistry has been for innovation in the processes and dentistry equipment that help reduce the potential for the spread of viruses within office environments. New technologies such as teledentistry are helping practitioners address this issue while at the same time creating the potential to improve patient care and practice efficiency.
Over the past two years, we at DENTALEZ® have been busy reinventing our brand along with many of our longstanding dental product lines. Over decades, these products have built our reputation for providing the highest quality products and service, anchored by what our customers value, that consistently exceed expectations. In 2021 and 2022, our new dental product innovations touch many areas of practice, from the utility room to the operatory:
- Compressors, vacuums, high-speed handpieces and low-speed motors enhanced with Aeras Intelligence and other improvements;
- HVE (high-volume evacuation) perfected with a well-designed Hands-Free HVE holder;
- Our Prophy Star® 3, made more user friendly with a new 360-degree swivel back end.
Read on to discover how DENTALEZ can help your practice reemerge ready for 2022 and beyond.
