H.O.T tip of the month...
from the desks of Drs. Hebel & Gajjar

How a Digital Camera Works

Traditional cameras use film to capture and store an image, whereas digital cameras use a device called an image sensor. An image sensor is a silicon chip that contains millions of photosensitive diodes. These diodes (or photosites) record the amount of light that falls on them. The brightness recorded by each photosite is then stored as a set of numbers that can then be used to set the color and brightness of dots on the screen or ink on the printed page to reconstruct the image.

Pixels & Resolution

Once an image is reconstructed, it is made up of many tiny squares that represent the individual photosites. These squares are called pixels. Each pixel represents a color with a certain brightness and intensity that was captured by the photosites. The quality of a digital image depends on the number of pixels used to create the image. This is commonly referred to as resolution.

By enlarging this digital photo, we can see the individual pixels that make up the image.

The resolution of an image is directly related to the number of pixels within the image. The larger the number of pixels used to create the image, the larger the resolution. The increase in pixels adds detail and results in sharper images.

So if you’re experiencing difficulty obtaining good quality images from your digital camera, take a look at the resolution at which you’re taking your photographs. Remember, the higher the resolution, the more pixels, the sharper the image.

Licensing in Ontario – what we’ve all been waiting for!

Fantastic News!!

Canadian dentists can now obtain a license in Ontario – and if you’re getting it for educational purposes, the 2-day ethics course and examination will be waived!

What does this mean? Well, dentists outside Ontario can now bring patients to our training programs and perform live hands on surgery. The fees are pro-rated for the year, so anyone coming to the Fall courses will pay a reduced fee.

Now’s the time! Get registered for our upcoming program (we still have spots available), get a patient, and get great hands on training!!

Implants for Profit??

Yes, implants are profitable. In fact, implant procedures are one of the most profitable procedures that we do in dentistry. Let’s take a look . . .

The fee for a single tooth implant from start to finish is on average about $3500.00. The time invested in the procedure is about 2.5 hours. Taking into account the lab fees and the cost of the implant, the total expenses are approximately $1200.00. That generates a gross income of $2300.00. (fees are in Canadian dollars)

If you do only 1 implant a month, look at the revenue you can generate. Imagine if you did 2 implants . . . or 5 implants every month . . .

So ask yourself . . . is it time to get involved?
