Patterson Dental Debuts Smile Channel 10

Five new and 11 updated presentations give your practice the best in front-office patient education

ST. PAUL, Minn. – (March 29, 2011) – Patterson Dental Supply, Inc. introduces Smile Channel 10, an updated version of its reception area programming that entertains and educates patients while promoting dental services. As part of the popular CAESY Education Systems family, Smile Channel 10 offers attention-grabbing and informative presentations with dramatic before-and-after photos, 3-D animations, full-color graphics, and full-motion video.

This edition of Smile Channel 10 features an updated look and feel, with new presentations covering smile restoration topics such as “Hiding Your Smile?” “Why Not You?” and “Healthy Mouth, Healthy Body.” Additionally, new presentations are offered on today’s cutting-edge dental technologies, including Identafi and Under Armour. Updates have also been made to existing presentations such as “Smile Restorations,” “Repairing Chipped Teeth” and “CEREC CAD/CAM.”

Smile Channel 10 plays an invaluable role in many dental practices not only by educating patients on general dental health topics, but also by promoting discretionary services in an informative and credible way. The front-office programming prompts patients to ask the dental team about these services once in the operatory, helping open the door to discussions and treatments that patients may not have considered on their own. Smile Channel 10 helps inform both new and existing patients about how dentistry can improve not only their smiles, but their lives.

CAESY Education Systems has been dentistry’s premier developer of leading-edge patient education technology and content since 1993. CAESY was acquired by Patterson Dental Supply, Inc. in May 2004. The award-winning multimedia information on preventive, restorative and esthetic treatment options helps dental practices worldwide educate their patients and grow their practices. The CAESY content is distributed via video and computer networks or DVD players throughout the clinical and reception areas of the dental practice. The family of products includes CAESY DVD, Smile Channel DVD, and CAESY Enterprise, which includes CAESY, Smile Channel and ShowCase. For more information, visit www.caesy.com or call 1-800-294-8504.
