Benco Dental, OperaDDS partner for teledentistry solution

Benco Dental is partnering with OperaDDS to provide customers with enhanced access to screening and teledentistry solutions to help practices respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, Benco said in a statement.

Benco Dental will offer the company’s software-based safeguards for team members and patients as part of its Benco Practice Solutions suite of products. Most offices will be up and running in 48 hours or less.

A provider of HIPAA-compliant interoffice communication tools, OperaDDS has already released its new COVID-19 Pre-Appointment Screening Tool and Teledentistry Kit. This kit is a two-step answer to adding necessary screening and reducing unnecessary interaction between staff and patients.

“The way doctors and patients communicate is changing fast by necessity, and more people will be sharing information electronically than ever before,” said Dr. Bryan Laskin, owner and founder of OperaDDS. “Our solutions ensure they can do so confidently and easily since many patients with limited technology exposure will need to adapt.”

OperaDDS users will have access to a full range of synchronous and asynchronous options for safely connecting to share information, photos, and videos.

“OperaDDS is the right teledentistry product for our customers at this time,” said Ryan Rinaldi, product manager for Benco Practice Solutions. “Benco Dental is pleased to add it to our growing list of innovative solutions for all of the challenges today’s dental practices face. OperaDDS is affordable, adaptable, provides choice, saves time, and reduces stress. All of those things are more important than ever. We think it adds considerable value as dentists nationwide look for a way forward in today’s new normal.”

For a limited time, customers who sign up get one month free, plus setup fees are waived. No contract is required and plans begin at $89 per month after the first month. For more information, visit benco.com or operadds.com.
