There are so many sources of information facing today's dental professionals, it is sometimes difficult to know which way to turn, or which link to "click." At D4D Technologies, our primary goals are to provide dentistry with the latest technology, the most comprehensive support and education, and accurate, concise information-all intended to exceed patient satisfaction and assist in achieving excellence in dentistry. If you are like many dental professionals, you may be confused with the myriad of choices available to you in order for your practice to enter the digital age of dentistry. Let us suggest a few online resources where you can explore the revolutionary new technology of the E4D Dentist System® created by D4D Technologies.

D4D's homepage is a portal for dental professionals, potential or existing dental patients, and current E4D Dentist Owners (ECO members) (Figure 1). By selecting "for dental professionals" you'll be taken to a wonderful resource for dental professionals wanting to know more about the E4D Dentist system. With detailed explanations of the technology, the site demonstrates the process of scanning, designing, and milling through photos, videos, and written explanations; just click "What is E4D?" (Figure 2). For the latest E4D features and to experience E4D on the Web, click "Cool E4D Features." This page not only gives more details on the system's technology, it also explains why buying an E4D Dentist System will be a wonderful experience. You will also see a link to our interactive demo that gives you the ability to experience the software from the comfort of your own computer (www.d4dtech.com/tryTheExperience) (Figure 3). The Web site multimedia gallery (www.d4dtech.com/videos) is a great place to check out before and after photos of E4D created restorations, watch leading dental professionals share their experiences with E4D, and see who has visited our 90,000- square foot engineering, manufacturing, and educational headquarters in Richardson, TX (Figure 4). Mix the latest technology with expert education, intuitive design tools, and great all around support-and you'll get a taste of the 360- degree E4D ExperienceTM at www.d4dtech.com!

E4D University is a state-of-the-art educational facility on the D4D Technologies' Dallas, TX campus. E4D University's online resource, wwww.d4dtech.com/university, gives you the newest course dates and class descriptions. This site also allows you to sign up for a Henry Schein Dental Preview where you will come to Dallas for a day to preview the system and tour the facility. Finally, the University Web site allows you to tour the education facility (Figure 5), so you can see the classrooms, operatory, and on-campus facilities that you will experience when you come for the two-day class included with the purchase of the E4D Dentist System. If you would like to know more about E4D's manufacturer, D4D Technologies, and how the whole process began, there are additional resources that are sure to give you a comprehensive look at the company's roots. For example, Dentalcompare, www.dentalcompare.com, is a great resource for information on the company and its background. Search "E4D" on dentalcompare's homepage, and you will see links to numerous videos, articles, and product detail pages. Videos on this site include an interview with D4D Technologies' founder, chairman, and CEO Basil Haymann (Figure 6), which highlights the company's history, structure, and vision for the future.

Still not sure E4D is 4 U? Need some financial understanding? At the bottom of the main D4DWeb site or at www.d4dtech.com/ROI you will see the ROI (Return on Investment) calculator (Figure 7) and by entering your own practice's fees, expenses, and intended integration of chairside CAD/CAM dentistry, you'll be supplied with a comprehensive report on what it can mean to you and your practice and better understand the economic conditions and opportunities. If you're looking for more detailed information, visit the "D4D Library" at www.d4dtech.com/books. This online library features published articles about D4D Technologies and the E4D Dentist system, it also included a company profile or " E4D Experience book," which walks you through the company's developments, education, engineering, and manufacturing facilities and the results that ECO members (E4D Clinical Operators) have achieved in the field. This fun, interactive library allows you to grab the books off the shelves and shuffle them around on the tabletop (Figure 8). Click on "View Library," and you will see that you can flip through user manuals, workbooks, and the ECOgram, the company's customer newsletter.

Educating patients on the services your practice can offer can be a real challenge. That is why D4D Technologies has created the D4D Patient Web site, www.d4dtech.com/patients. This patient-friendly Web site is modeled after the material customers receive in their patient-marketing kits. This site shows patients before and after transformations (Figure 9) that they can relate to their own aesthetic concerns about their smiles. It also explains the technology in a patient-friendly forum that is easy to understand and navigate. Lastly, this site features experiences or testimonials, so the patient can understand the process from all perspectives in the dental office. Feel free to link your Web site to the patient site to ensure your patients know the latest technology and procedures that are available in dentistry. If you just can't get enough of E4D, then visit our online catalog (Figure 10) at www.d4dtech.com/catalogue, where you can purchase your very own E4D merchandise and be a part of the E4D Team!
