,ENCOMPASS is a digitally planned, surgical overdenture kit that reduces patient chairtime, ensures a controlled surgery, and increases workflow efficiency, ,
,Being organized—with every tool at your fingertips—is key to efficiently performing complex procedures. In dentistry, efficiency means better patient care, which translates to enhanced ROI. Zest Dental Solutions knew this connection when it developed ENCOMPASS, an all-inclusive implant solution for overdenture workflows that ensures less chair time for edentulous patients and efficient workflows for dental teams. Developed jointly by Zest and NavaGation Precision Guidance Surgical Solutions by Absolute Dental Services, ENCOMPASS is a start-to-finish, patient-specific kit for overdenture treatment., ,“ENCOMPASS is an all-inclusive solution,” said Izzy Naem, DDS, Floss & Co., Chicago, IL. “It’s like Christmas in a box for dentists! With a ‘tooth down’ approach, which starts from the end result and works backwards, you’re ensuring a controlled surgery from beginning to end,” he added., ,Working with ENCOMPASS can reduce the number of patient appointments from an average of 4–6 to 2–3. While this efficiency means fewer patient appointments and less chair time, it also makes for a smoother, less complicated procedure for Dr. Naem and his associates., ,“The control this affords me has turned a tedious surgery into what ‘feels’ like an everyday procedure,” Dr. Naem said., ,With ENCOMPASS, Dr. Naem reports “minimal swelling and bruising, which has greatly improved our patients’ experience.”, ,News travels fast, and Dr. Naem said patient acceptance is up due to the price tag—another positive boost for his practice. “It’s an unheard-of fee, and it’s really renewed our denture-to-overdenture conversions,” he explained., ,“Digitally mounted teeth in proper occlusion! Digitally contoured denture intaglio! I see the denture fit over the ridge like a glove, ask the patient to bite down, and realize it’s a perfect fi t!” Dr. Naem concluded. “I can’t describe it in words, but my patients surely know what the smile on my face means in terms of the success and confidence in their investment.”
