Talk to Desco Dental – We’ll listen – and then get to work on your dream solutions

“Because technology is expensive and advances so quickly,” says Kathy Kuffel, business manager at Dr. Kevin J. Kuffel’s Office, “you have to follow trends and make decisions today based on future needs.” In fact, when Desco Dental Systems was recommended to her years ago, Dr. Kuffel’s office went from getting its first computer to now “doing everything on computers,” from billing and financials, to treatment planning, insurance processing, recall, charting, scheduling – and incorporating digital dental photography.

“It comes down to the confidence Desco has in its products, the trust we have in them, and the fact that they are a personable company,” Kathy adds. “I know no matter how much they grow, I’ll get the attention I need.”

“While in Kentucky recently, I was able to do my entire month-end billing and recall process remotely,” Kathy explains. “All I needed was Desco’s help in getting hooked up, and then I walked my teenage daughter (back at the office) through the processing and printing over the phone.”

Kathy also appreciates the accuracy and ease of use of Desco’s charting program, along with its visual impact. “Perio charting is so instantaneous – punching a number on the keypad versus labor-intensive paper charting.”

The Kuffels take continuing education courses from the non-profit L.D. Pankey Institute and have completed a newer offering on digital dental photography. “Digital camera use is great in showing a visual picture and history. You see what you’ve started with and the progress in teeth whitening, orthodontics, and crown and bridge work,” Kathy explains. The office incorporates digital photography into its insurance correspondence, lab work, and patient treatment plans. “Patients appreciate ‘phased plans’ based on insurance dollars available. They know what’s coming and when.”
