Patient education is presented in many different ways:

1. Reading materials: brochures, pamphlets, etc.

2. Demonstration models, props, etc.

3. Computer graphic sample still images, books, before and after photos with still shot images shown on a computer screen.

4. Image capturing device – intra-oral camera, extra-oral digital camera with still shot images shown on a computer screen.

5. Patient Video Eyewear – direct live video line connected to patient via their own personal pair of video eyewear.

Out of all the techniques presented above, only video eyewear allows the patient to become a co-diagnostician.  In short, the patient sees exactly the condition of their entire mouth in real-time similar to a 3-D motion picture.  Other image capturing devices can only attempt one angle, one position, and one photo at any given time.  Video eye wear reveals an infinite number of viewing angles of the mouth directly to the patient.  Patients that use video eyewear seem to become more pro-active in learning about the various aspects of their dental condition.  Some patients will want to continue to use the video eyewear even during the actual dental procedures in order to actively learn about the process of having their own teeth restored.  Not to mention, finding the needle in the hay stack,  this method dominates all others simply because it acquires its image through the lens of a microscope.  This state-of the-art technology is a rare find in the state of Florida and is currently being used in our Boca Raton Dental office.  To learn more about our video eyewear technology or make an appointment, please go to the “Comfort and Technology” section located at the following link to our website: https://www.gcuomodds.com/comfort–technology.html    For scheduling all video eyewear intial exam appointments, please go to the “Contact Us” section located at: https://www.gcuomodds.com/contact-us.html
