grow your practice and better serve patients with Omnichroma
Like most businesses, growing your dental practice’s profits means increasing production while keeping overhead in check. But with the steady rise of overhead expenses and stagnant reimbursement rates, this can be an elusive goal.
Inventory management offers a rare opportunity for overhead cost control that can give your bottom line the boost it needs.
On average, supplies account for 5–6% of a practice’s overhead. Without effective inventory management, however, this figure can easily balloon into a burden on your bottom line and productivity. Take for example a practice's composite shade inventory—many times, practices invest in a costly array of shades to match any prospective color of dentition. Unfortunately, some of this product will inevitably go unused or underused, relegated to clutter inventory or expire before needed. And while sorting through shades can prove problematic in and of itself, perhaps even worse is selecting the wrong shade or one that discolors over time or after whitening—this can result in even more loss: of profit, production and patient satisfaction.
Thankfully, manufacturer Tokuyama Dental America offers a brilliant solution to dentists’ shade inventory woes.
OMNICHROMA®, a new resin-based restorative material, implements the natural phenomenon of structural color to mimic any shade of dentition with just one universal shade. Capable of flawlessly replicating all 16 VITA classical shades and beyond, OMNICHROMA simultaneously simplifies inventory management and procedural workflow, allowing you to affordably and efficiently deliver beautiful, shade-perfect direct restorations.
OMNICHROMA’s exceptional shade-matching abilities are made possible by Tokuyama’s Smart Chromatic Technology, an innovation 35 years in the making. As light passes through the composite’s identical, 260nm spherical fillers, red-to-yellow structural color is generated and blends with reflections of neighboring teeth. OMNICHROMA’s spherical fillers also imbue it with impeccable handling, polishability and strength. The result: a durable restoration with seamless, long-lasting color that’s immune to discoloration and mismatching—even if patients choose to whiten teeth at a later date.
With OMNICHROMA’s single shade, you can eliminate the often-costly guesswork of shade selection, along with the expenses of managing a large shade inventory.
This means no more running out of commonly-used shades, spending money on shades you’ll rarely or never use, and no wasting time searching for the right shade or disappointing patients due to a poor match. All of these practical benefits add up significant overhead and time savings, giving you the freedom to increase production, grow your practice and better serve patients.
