Heartland Dental Care Chooses KODAK Digital Radiography Systems for its Dental Practices Across 12 States
New agreement will transform Heartland Dental Care practices into digital practices, offering higher levels of efficiency in patient care
ATLANTA, GA, August 23 – Heartland Dental Care and PracticeWorks, Inc., the exclusive maker of KODAK Dental Systems, have signed an agreement for Heartland Dental Care to bring the benefits of digital imaging to the company’s numerous dental practices. The company will utilize KODAK RVG 6100 Digital Radiography Systems, LOGICON Caries Detector™ Software, and KODAK 8000 Digital Panoramic Systems.
"We are pleased that our affiliated dentists are offering patients the latest advances in dental imaging technology to help achieve their goal of continuously improving the level of care provided to their patients" said Dr. Rick Workman, CEO of Heartland Dental Care. "Heartland Dental patients will benefit significantly from this new digital technology."
Best Sensor Quality, Improved Caries Detection
Heartland Dental Care performed extensive research before selecting KODAK Digital Products for their 200 dental practices. Heartland chose the KODAK RVG 6100 sensor because it offers the highest image quality available, a more comfortable patient experience due to a new sensor design and a new size 0 sensor. In addition, it allows for lower radiation exposure. Heartland also selected LOGICON Caries Detector™ Software to assist their dentists in the difficult task of detecting proximal caries. A clinical study shows that the software enabled dentists to find 20% more cases of caries penetrating into the dentin of permanent teeth than they were able to find without LOGICON Software. The newest version of the software, version 4.0, includes a training wizard that makes it easier to learn the software and automated tools that reduce the time it takes to obtain results.

User-Friendly Products, Outstanding Customer Support
The KODAK 8000 Digital Panoramic System allows the practitioner to obtain high-quality digital panoramic images. The user-friendly interface makes image programming easy, while the face-to-face positioning keeps patients comfortable and minimizes errors. The system also offers low radiation exposure.
Customer support is a major reason that Heartland chose PracticeWorks. "Our affiliated dentists, staff and patients have been extremely pleased with the benefits these technologies, and the support from PracticeWorks has been outstanding, particularly in service and training," comments Dr. Rick Workman of Heartland Dental Care.
Another Large Deployment of KODAK Digital Solutions
"This agreement with Heartland Dental Care confirms that our digital radiography solutions provide the best option for dental practitioners as they plan their move to digital imaging technologies," said Rich Hirschland, President, Dental Systems for Carestream Health.
"Heartland Dental Care is committed to providing the highest levels of care to their patients, and we are extremely pleased that the company has chosen our products to assist them in their digital evolution," Mr. Hirschland noted.
