As a young dentist, Dr. David Gane learned quickly that photographic imaging records were a terrific tool for his dental practice in many ways. Within 10 years he segued into his own imaging software company, and today hes the CEO of Apertyx Imaging.

In this discussion, he and Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz agree that April was a challenging month for dentists and dental companies. But theyre encouraged by recent data from the Health Policy Institute and the American Dental Association that indicates dentistry is beginning to bounce back successfully and will continue to do so. Surveys from the HPI also show that most patients want to return to their dentists as soon as they're able.

Dr. Maragliano Muniz notes that to continue to be successful, dentists are investing more in themselves. She and Dr. Gane believe that an efficient imaging system is an excellent tool for dentists to spend their money on. Dr. Gane explains the advantages of Apteryx.
