Lorne Lavine, DMD, who is known as The Digital Dentist, is now available to help dentists incorporate technology into their practices. An author, lecturer, and former periodontist, Dr. Lavine is an authority on the installation and application of computers and software, as well as high-tech dental products such as digital x-ray and intra-oral cameras. His company, Dental Technology Consultants (DTC), offers full-service consulting and on-site technology integration and provides computer repair, network design, installation, and troubleshooting. Using extensive computer knowledge, combined with an in-depth understanding of dental operatory practices and knowledge of the kinds of technology-based products often being considered by dentists, DTC provides cost-effective solutions to the challenges of establishing or upgrading the modern dental practice. A DTC consultation begins with an extensive, in-office assessment, which identifies present and future technology needs. From this, a personalized blueprint for new computer systems, upgrades, conversions, and/or recommended new digital technologies is determined. The plan can then be implemented by DTC, if the client wishes. In addition, computer network design, installation, integration of hardware and software, training, website design, and hosting are available. According to Dr. Lavine, this process “allows clients to realize significant increases in efficiency and productivity while avoiding costly mistakes resulting from inappropriate purchase decisions.”
Dr. Lavine believes that “well-designed technology needs to be able to adapt to the practice style of the dentist, not the other way around.” He has become known as The Digital Dentist as a result of his consulting business, lectures, articles, and frequent postings on Internet bulletin boards.
