Think of EDI as an Extension of your Office!

“How do you benefit?”

• Why not free up your chair time and staff for higher production by sending your Ortho Records to us!
• Get CBCT technology without the investment or use of office space
• By sending your patients to EDI, you gain access to the best technology with the highest diagnostic quality.

Can my case be customized to follow the look of records done in my own office?

When ordering photographs at EDI you have various options to customize your case presentations. There are several different layouts to choose from, and each montage can be personalized with your logo. Your montage will be printed to our dye sublimation printer, providing you with top quality color images. In addition all digital data is burned to CD and included at no additional charge.

I am curious to know what I get when I order a CBCT scan?
Is my patient’s scan reviewed by a Radiologist or am I responsible for the interpretation of the data?

It has been our mandate since CBCT was first introduced to the dental community, that every scan be read by our Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist. This alleviates any chance of an abnormality or pathology going undetected

Every case involving a CBCT scan taken through EDI includes:

• Radiographic interpretation by our Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist (implant cases include measurements)
• Hard copy digital printouts of all relevant images using our high quality, dye sublimation printer
• Images burned to CD in the form of .pdf or .jpg files
• Free i-CAT viewing software so you can review your patients entire scan

Have you heard of new technology whereby alginate impressions can be replaced with a CBCT scan creating a virtual study model?

Yes, in fact we are already doing that. It is so much easier for the patient and takes a matter of seconds to accomplish the scan. We can have the digital models processed within 2 to 3 days, whereby they can then be viewed from any computer with internet access using your personal EDI username and password. (for more information on this new digital model service please contact Jennifer Gray)

Some clinicians are using "Sure Smile" for creating custom arch wires for patients. This used to require Invisalign type impressions, but I have recently heard that i-CAT files are accepted by Sure Smile. What do you know about this? Is the resolution high enough for generating high quality models?

Representatives from Sure Smile have consulted with us here at EDI and at the present time, the use of a CBCT scan for their orthodontic services is limited to those patients without any major restorative work such as fillings or crowns as it creates too much distortion in the images to be used with their software. For those patients with minimal restorative work, EDI would be happy to facilitate the transfer of data for our Sure Smile practitioners.

Do you have any handouts I can give to my patients?

Absolutely! EDI provides a Welcome Package for all our referring Doctors which includes:

• Referral Forms with Maps to our location
• Patient Handouts
• Our list of Services
• Fee guide, and much more!

To request a welcome package, please contact Jennifer Gray

How can I educate my staff about EDI?

We want you to think of EDI as an extension of your office. We feel it is important that everyone be knowledgeable about what EDI can provide in order to better prepare your patients for their visit. In addition to the information provided in your Welcome Package, we would be more than happy to have you and your staff tour our office and experience our technology first hand!

How does a CBCT scan compare to a traditional medical CT scan in regards to radiation/exposure?

CBCT technology provides all the benefits of 3-dimensional imaging with the patient exposed to significantly less radiation than a medical CT scan. For more information, please review the following article, "Dosimetry of 3 CBCT devices for oral and Maxillofacial radiology: CB Mercuray, NewTOm 3G and i-CAT"

I want to begin offering implants in my practice but I don’t have implant planning software. How Can EDI help me get started with guided surgery without the huge investment?

At EDI we understand how costly those implant planning software programs can be. Not only the initial cost, but the training time and the time it takes to convert the data/upload it into the program only adds to the confusion. EDI works closely with several 3rd party conversion services and can easily provide you with everything you need to plan your guided implant surgery from start to finish! From the scanning appliance to the surgical guide, let us show you how easy it can be to get started. For more information contact Jennifer Gray.
