Starting your own dental practice can be a rewarding adventure, with a variety of advantages that are attractive to many dentists. While the motivations behind this journey can differ from person to person, certain benefits can be universally appreciated.
Artificial Intelligence ("AI") is very prominent in the headlines today. Somewhere between the fear of job losses, and the extinction of the human race, lies a tremendous opportunity to advance all aspects of dentistry.
