How does A-dec help Dr. Joe Chichetti render better outcomes for patients?

My name is Dr. Joe Chicetti. My clinic is Harmony Transformative Cosmetic Dentistry, and we create world-class smiles for our patients.

What is world-class dentistry, and why is that our standard? World-class dentistry is a seamless patient experience that creates a rite of passage within that patient's life. It's a line into the sand. This is their before and after moment. We do transformational dentistry here. It's quite a bit different from your traditional general practice. We focus exclusively on cosmetic dentistry utilizing a digital workflow that we've created. It's also a learning center. We're AGD accredited, and we host courses to teach other doctors this method of creating really outstanding cosmetic results, and making our patients healthier. We don't see hygiene patients. So, as a result, we're not a high volume practice. I might have one patient in the morning, but that could be a four or five hour procedure. So, I have to be in a situation where physically I'm not stressed at all and comfortable, but also my patients have to be very comfortable as well.

So, I was looking for core equipment that was very high quality, very detail-oriented, and with a support system that was seamless. Quality of core equipment is one of the best decisions you can make, but if you're not careful and you don't get quality core equipment, it can be one of the worst decisions you ever make. But you won't know it's a bad decision, until 10-years later when your body's telling you that. How does A‑dec fit into that? Well, A‑dec is a world-class company, quite frankly. They have a standard that's extremely high. The standard and values of that company is congruent with the way we operate and with the way we want to do things. The other thing that was really important to me was this equipment going to be able to integrate seamlessly into my technology. This is a digital workflow. This is a very technology-based practice.

And for us, the A‑dec 500 series checked all those boxes, and there were no closed seconds. Because of A‑dec, I've been able to execute better dentistry. I don't feel it in my body when I'm working on these units, and that translates to the patient. I can say that wholeheartedly, because of A‑dec, I can render better dentistry.
