She initially started her dental career in private practice but noticed significant differences upon joining Aspen Dental, a Dental Service Organization (DSO). In private practice, new patients would typically begin with the doctor, who would perform exams and periodontal charting, while the hygienist's involvement was limited to the cleaning phase. However, at Aspen Dental, the hygienist is actively involved throughout the entire process. They conduct exams, perform charting, and engage in discussions about oral health with patients.
One notable distinction at Aspen Dental is the collaborative relationship between hygienists and doctors. Both are regarded as providers and work together to determine the best treatment plans for patients. This is in contrast to private practice, where decisions were solely made by the doctor without significant input from the hygienist.
Aspen Dental also stands out by offering high-quality equipment and supplies, including the trio scanner. This advanced tool allows hygienists to visually represent a patient's oral health, which is not commonly available in other practices.
Working at Aspen Dental provides hygienists with autonomy and the ability to have a say in treatment plans. They also have control over their schedules, allowing them to adjust appointment times as needed. Additionally, the staff, including dental assistants and front staff, provide valuable support and assistance whenever required.
