Virtual dentistry (also known as teledentistry) lets you conduct non-emergency patient consults, as well as diagnose emergency situations, before your patients come into the office. Delta Dental offers a free and easy to use teledentistry platform for virtual appointments.
Available to Delta Dental network dentists, this is a secure and HIPAA-compliant video platform that allows real-time face-to-face interactions with patients. You can assess, screen and provide care instructions (including e-prescriptions to manage pain and reduce risk of infection) to patients covered by Delta Dental PPO™ and Delta Dental Premier®.
When you sign up for virtual dentistry, you don’t need to worry about having to learn the ins and outs of the system on your own. The following features are available to make your experience as effortless as possible:
Access to detailed training and 24/7/365 tech support for the platform
Detailed and applicable patient-provided history sent directly to you in advance of appointments
Sent to every patient, including any prescribed medications and follow-up recommendations
You don't need to worry about submitting claims or checking benefits. The system does it for you
