Door-Knocking Dental Services

The New Service From Studio Dental Brings Dentists to Your Door

— November 16, 2013 — Lifestyle
We all know how important teeth are, but many individuals just do not pay enough attention to them, especially those who are busy. What do you think about the idea to be able to see a dentist on your way to work? Or even better, imagine to have a trailer dentist office waiting for you when you come home from work?

San Francisco will soon be one brilliant idea generator. A company called Studio Dental did “an investigation” and discovered that less than 25% of Americans go to see their dentist regularly (at least once a year). To change that, the team at Studio Dental decided to turn things around and soon there will be no need to visit a dentist anymore, because a dentist will now be able to visit you. Moreover, the bill will be emailed to you, so you can just pay through PayPal, after you have finished eating some juicy green apples with your healthy and strong teeth of course.

The service is set to launch in January 2014, so we just need to wait a little bit.
Trend Themes
1. Door-knocking Dental Services - Providing dental services to busy people at their doorstep creates a new customer segment and disrupts traditional dental industry.
2. Mobile Dental Services - Mobile dental services have the potential to increase access to dental care especially in underserved areas.
3. Tele-dentistry - Virtual consultations with dentists through video conferencing or other remote technologies is a novel approach to dental care and has the potential to disrupt the traditional dental industry.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The innovative dental services may provide an opportunity to improve access and affordability of oral health care.
2. Technology - Developing innovative platforms such as video conferencing technology and mobile apps that connect patients with dentists can disrupt the traditional model of dental practice.
3. Transportation - The use of mobile dental clinics might also create opportunities for businesses in transportation and logistics industries.
