SUMMARY:Surcharging in Dental Practices | The Pros\, Cons\, and Regulations
DESCRIPTION:One of our most well-attended webinars last year\, this session returns in 2026 to help practices navigate the growing complexity of surcharging.Surcharging\, passing credit card processing fees on to patients\, has become increasingly common in dental practices. Often promoted as “free credit card processing\,” this approach can reduce overhead\, but it also comes with important considerations around patient experience\, compliance\, and long-term practice growth.In this webinar\, we’ll take a clear\, practical look at how surcharging works\, why it’s gained popularity\, and what dental practices should understand before implementing it. With higher average transaction amounts in dentistry\, even small fees can feel significant to patients—making perception and communication just as important as compliance.

SUMMARY:The AI Impact: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Dentistry
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept. It is embedded in our daily lives in ways we often do not realize\, from generating receipts and creating podcasts to composing music and analyzing medical images. AI is evolving rapidly\, transforming how we work\, make decisions\, and receive healthcare.In dentistry\, AI’s influence is growing quickly. It enhances clinical decision making\, improves patient outcomes\, and streamlines administrative tasks. \n\n\n\nAI helps clinicians detect disease earlier\, supports treatment planning\, and speeds up insurance processing\, making care more precise and efficient. \n\n\n\nAI also strengthens the patient-provider relationship. By presenting radiographic findings and clinical insights clearly and visually\, it helps patients understand their oral health\, fostering trust and driving better outcomes and practice growth. \n\n\n\nThis session will explore AI’s broad role in daily life and its powerful impact in dentistry\, offering real world examples from both consumer and professional AI systems. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nRecognize how AI is influencing daily life\, from automating tasks to advancing healthcare and dental technologies\n\n\n\nEvaluate real world examples of AI tools improving diagnostics\, workflows\, and the overall quality of care\n\n\n\nImplement strategies to enhance clinical and administrative efficiency using AI driven insights\n\n\n\nUnderstand the regulatory landscape surrounding AI in dentistry\, including best practices for ethical and compliant use\n\n\n\nApply AI powered visualizations to improve patient understanding\, increase treatment acceptance\, and build lasting trust\n\n\n\n\nAbout our CE SpeakerParag R.
