More Predictable Implant Dentistry: The Clinical Tools Built into Novadontics

Tooth loss is increasingly common in an aging population, and dental implants are quickly becoming the standard of care because they can provide nearly equivalent function and appearance to natural teeth. Yet many dentists cannot offer predictable implant treatment at a reasonable cost, for three reasons:

1. Lack of training, support, and access to standardized procedures
2. High prices charged by major dental implant distributors to individual dental offices
3. The difficulty and cost of inefficient, fragmented practice management systems

The result: many dentists cannot meet the demand for implant treatment, and they miss out on revenue, practice growth, and the chance to give patients the highest standard of care. At the same time, many patients cannot access or afford implant treatment, or worse, receive substandard care that leads to further pain, treatment, and expense.

An All-in-One Answer to a Complex Problem

Guided by dental implant experts and leading software developers, Novadontics created a patented, cloud-based practice management platform that combines office and procedure support with savings on high-quality dental supplies. The aim is to let more dentists offer implant treatment to more patients, at a reasonable cost and with predictable results.

Here are the implant-specific features inside the platform.

Photography Module: Clinical Photos Without the Guesswork

Good photographic documentation is key to successful treatment, especially for implant patients. But most dental practitioners are not professional photographers.

Novadontics solves this with a full Dental Photography Guide built directly into the photo uploading process. Each patient file lists the views essential to dental treatment. For each view, one click opens a pop-up with the related section of the guide, covering:

• Camera type and settings
• Any required auxiliary equipment
• Technique
• Patient instructions
• Specific considerations for dentate versus edentulous patients
• What to evaluate in the photo
• Sample images

With this approach, any practitioner or staff member can capture predictable, meaningful images that support treatment planning and the procedures that follow.

Bone Graft Logbook

The electronic, interactive Bone Graft Logbook records and tracks every bone grafting procedure in your office. Like the Implant Logbook, it is populated automatically from patient files, and you can also enter and edit information directly in the module.

It tracks:

• The type of procedure
• The type, size, and volume of every graft
• Brands of allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts
• Membranes and additives
• X-rays, imported to monitor bone levels over time
• In case of graft failure, the date of failure and any related medical conditions

Checklists Module

The Checklists Module raises the standard of implant therapy in your practice with checklists and step-by-step protocols built into the Novadontics patient module. Checklists let you:

• Minimize complications by confirming the patient is a good candidate for the proposed treatment and that all necessary data is collected
• Follow protocols strictly by checking off steps as you perform them
• Customize treatment by selecting options and adding notes
• Access descriptions and illustrations that show the latest expert knowledge for specific procedures
• Save completed checklists in the patient's file for future reference

Built for Implant Practices from the Ground Up

Novadontics' patented cloud-based practice management software is the first and only dental PMS built by dentists for the general and dental implant industry. The tools above are not add-ons bolted to a generic system. They are integrated into the Novadontics patient file, so implant and bone graft data entered in a patient file populates the logbooks automatically.

What can I track in the Novadontics Implant Logbook?

You can search and sort data by implant brands and sizes, surgical and loading protocols, bone density and stability measurements, and more. The logbook also flags implants within 30 days of their projected restoration date, imports x-rays to show bone levels over time, exports detailed reports, and calculates your office's implant success rate from failed implants you mark.

Can the Implant Logbook be used without the full Novadontics platform?

Yes. Information can be entered and edited in the Implant Logbook either as part of the Novadontics package or as a standalone feature.

How does the Novadontics Photography module help my team take better clinical photos?

A full Dental Photography Guide is built into the photo uploading process. For each essential view, one click opens the related section of the guide, covering camera type and settings, auxiliary equipment, technique, patient instructions, dentate versus edentulous considerations, what to evaluate in the photo, and sample images.
