Teledentistry is a form of telehealth that came about during the COVID pandemic. Using computer, internet, and video technologies allows you to connect with your dentist or hygienist virtually to discuss dental concerns, needs, or other issues with one of our experienced general dentists in Carson City.
How Does Teledentistry Work?
Teledentistry uses the same secure virtual video conferencing as Zoom and similar applications. During your teledentistry appointment, you sign in securely to the website provided. Once connected, your dentist will also join the virtual meeting. During the appointment, you can talk to your dentist about any dental concerns, show them any problems with your teeth, and ask questions about dental care and treatment.
Your dentist will make a diagnosis based on what you tell them and what they see virtually. They will tell you what you need to do if the issue can be resolved remotely. Otherwise, they will work with you to arrange an in-office visit for treatment, like filling a cavity.
Is Teledentistry Legal?
Yes, teledentistry services in Nevada are legal. They are regulated by the state with specific laws as outlined in the Nevada Revised Statutes 629.510 and 629.515. Dentists who provide teledentistry services must be licensed in the state to practice dentistry. They must also adhere to any additional laws and requirements in Nevada and at the federal level regarding telehealth services, healthcare, and the privacy of medical records and information.
With this offer, there’s no excuse not to get back on track! Schedule a complete exam and x-rays for only $39 and ensure you have a beautiful healthy smile.
What If I Need Specific Dental Services?
If you require specific dental services from our Carson City dentists, like a dental cleaning, filling, or other procedure, then you will need to schedule an appointment to come into the office. You can schedule an appointment online or during your teledentistry appointment.
