CEREC USERS are showing an average increase in revenue of $6,500
a month using DIFOTI®
DIFOTI® (Digital Imaging Fiber-Optic Trans-Illumination) is the only dental diagnostic imaging instrument of its kind to be approved by the FDA for the detection of incipient, frank and recurrent caries. It safely and instantly creates high-resolution digital images of occlusal, interproximal and smooth surfaces. It enables dentists to discover or confirm the presence of decay that cannot be seen radiographically, visually, or through use of an explorer.

DIFOTI images are the most effective way to persuade patients that
they need restorative and cosmetic work.

DENTISTS USING DIFOTI WITH CEREC SAY:
"...this does pay for itself very quickly. In my office in upstate NY, I tracked my DIFOTI productivity. In the first month I could attribute $15,600 of work directly to DIFOTI. The second month I only worked 11 days and DIFOTI production was $9,855, and the third month $19,375. This was all work I would not have found clinically or with radiographs and where payment was collected".
- Dr. Bard Levey, Johnson City, NY
"I had many patients who turned down veneers and crowns in the past because these procedures were either discussed in terms of how great they will look, or on the grounds that their teeth were breaking. A DIFOTI picture is worth a thousand words. These patients were shown intra-oral pictures, and they did not show much that made sense to the patients. They were also shown digital x-rays - also no impact. With DIFOTI images, it was an immediate yes. It is also excellent for posterior detection of caries.
DIFOTI helps to justify the expense of cosmetic procedures. Esthetic dentistry is beautiful, but also functional. DIFOTI is another excellent piece of the puzzle in helping us give the patients what they really want, but that they couldn't justify the expense of. For a rate of return on your investment I would say that I can attribute at least 20-30 veneer/crowns in two months to DIFOTI. Without the images, these patients would have said no. One was only interested in whitening until she saw the wear and fractures."
Dr. Ken Siegel, Blue Bell, PA

* Based on finding a new restoration on 10% of patients imaged with DIFOTI.
(In clinical studies DIFOTI enabled dentists to find 2X (interproximal),
4X (occlusal) and 10X (smooth), more caries then with film radiography.)
** Cost of disposable is $3 per disposable, two disposables per patient imaged.
