Welcome to DDS GP: Good is the Enemy of Great

Let’s be honest—implementation is everything. You can have the best tool in the world, but if it sits unused, nothing changes. In dentistry, it’s easy to fall back into old habits. We do the same procedures, see the same types of cases, work with the same team… and over time, that routine becomes normalized. We tell ourselves we’re too busy to try something new.

But DDS GP only makes your life easier if you actually use it. That means building new habits. Maybe hygienists use it during every exam. Maybe treatment coordinators bring it into every case discussion. Maybe you start using it chairside with every patient who needs treatment. Sure, it might feel awkward at first, but it quickly becomes second nature. And once it does, everything shifts: more clarity, more trust, more “Yes.”

It’s often around this point that offices decide to purchase additional iPads, because once everyone is using DDS GP and no one wants to wait their turn. They want it ready at a moment’s notice: in hygiene, in the operatory, in the consult room. The app becomes part of the rhythm of care, always within reach when the conversation turns to treatment.  And don’t worry, your DDS GP subscription covers unlimited devices at your location!

This isn’t just another tool. It’s a new way to connect with patients—and the payoff is enormous.

So… are you ready?   Or will it be you in this cartoon?
