Experience the power of patient education
How Chairsyde is transforming the patient experience
“Sitting in the chair and watching in real-time on a large video screen, the dentist indicating in my mouth what he is planning to do was my first experience of a new way in which Sunninghill Dental Practice exploits the facilities of new technology. It provided me with an understanding of my treatment and made me feel included in the process rather than being the captive specimen.
We live in an age of video technology. If a “picture is worth a thousand words” then a live video must be worth a million words. In the past year, I have been able to see exactly what was planned and undertaken in the treatment of a problem root canal – a treatment which not only proved to be pain-free but which, because everything was explained beforehand with screened visuals, eliminated my misplaced trepidation.
Subsequently, I have been shown exactly how to clean my teeth properly. I have been told often how to do so, but to see it on a high-quality video has given me a new enthusiasm for maintaining my mouth’s hygiene”

“I want to comment on how fantastic Chairsyde is! What a great idea! It meant my boys really enjoyed the experience and were fully compliant throughout. Thank you for making the visit run so smoothly, they will be happy to return. I hope the idea is rolled out for all families to take advantage of, especially those like me who have a child with special needs!”.

How Chairsyde is transforming the dentist experience
“Chairsyde has proved to be an invaluable addition to my workflow and I’ve used it on an almost daily basis since starting. I was initially worried about the animations being too time-consuming in a fast-paced NHS environment. But the clear-cut and simple style of all the animations has actually ended up saving me time in comparison to relying on verbal communication only. The animations are easily comprehensible to a layman. I’ve had a number of patients comment on how they never really understood what was going on when they go to the dentist but the Chairsyde animations make both the diagnosis and the treatment options much more comprehensible for the patients. Since each animation is recorded I feel less anxious about the risk of litigation as these recordings aid as proof that all treatment options were discussed with the patient. The team is very supportive and responds quickly to any queries. I would highly recommend Chairsyde to any dentists who care about effective communication and reducing litigation risk”.

“I find Chairsyde animation very useful for patients’ education. A good motivational visual aid while patients engage with the demos of the Chairsyde App keenly including oral hygiene instructions, gum disease, and periodontal treatments. In addition, Chairsyde animations are laid out very well in 3-D with the right timing in good order. Chairsyde is also helping me to save time of the appointment and is easy to describe. Last but not least, great customer support from the Chairsyde team“.

“My patients and I are really benefiting from Chairsyde. I love being able to annotate with the patient still in the chair, it works seamlessly. The educational content and treatment journey have really increased my patients-understanding. The whole system is easy to use and has helped take my communication to the next level.”
Dr. Robert Pestell

“Managing patients, achieving targets and following compliance such as record keeping adds to the pressures of being a dentist. Chairsyde has helped me reduce these stresses significantly. My communication with patients, in achieving patient understanding and consent has transformed my dentistry. Being able to visually show patients their condition and treatment options whilst communicating with them for consent via email is fantastic. Chairsyde also helped to increase my treatment uptake and I have now subscribed to all of my 5 practices”.

How Chairsyde is transforming the dental industry
“I’m very pleased that Chairsyde who have come through over the years as an amazing organisation, delivering aspects of communication and simulation so that we can educate our patients. Myself and a colleague, Dr. Riazia, set up a PG Cert in dental risk mitigation and I’m very pleased to say that Chairsyde have joined and become affiliated with our PGCert because it’s all about patient education. It’s all about communication. It’s all about minimising risk and making sure that our patients are on board. And if we work collaboratively with our patients by involving them fully through a process of shared decision making and inviting them to understand what’s going through in their mouths by seeing virtual images, then it enhances that relationship that we have with our patients.So welcome aboard to Chairsyde, it’s an amazing organisation. The future is going to be great”.
Dr. Shaam Shamsi
Clinical Director, Horizons Dental Care & Dental Advisory Board Member At Dental Protection.
“Chairsyde has many applications, and its content and design help to address many aspects of patient communication, consent, record keeping, and clinical risk management. A lot of dentolegal cases identify shortcomings in one or more of these areas. The platform’s functionality should significantly drive down the risks associated with these shortcomings”.
Raj Rattan, MBE
Dental Director at Dental Protection.
“Chairsyde education has been a fantastic tool to educate patients on oral disease and the 3D treatment videos are an excellent tool for patients to visualise and understand dental treatment options. This product is used daily in our practice and the support from the Chairsyde team has been second to none! A fantastic and innovative product!”
