Patients

DPid provides peace of mind for Patients, who are concerned about the preservation of their smiles. They may now rest assured that their dental prosthetics or appliances can be restored quickly to their original specifications, both economically and safely. Whether a problem occurs at home or halfway around the world, the DPid process provides a list of materials used in manufacturing the dental prosthetic; no more guessing tooth shades, acrylic type, or type of mechanical attachment. It also provides an inconspicuous and HIPAA compliant means of identifying ownership, especially important in states mandating dental prosthetic identification. Pertinent Health Information is also made available to alert the dentist, who may be unfamiliar with the patient's medical history, of possible allergies or, medications that may impact your well-being.

DPid is proud to support the National Association of Dental Laboratories launch of two new social media outlets that will serve as the foundation of NADL’s ongoing public awareness campaign to address core policy objectives that promote “transparency in dentistry” and the role and value of a competently trained dental technician.  DPid is privileged to be listed under “Technology Innovations” under “Resources” on NADL’s website.

“When my mother had a brain tumor removed, her dentures were lost (at the hospital)... They were never found and it made life very difficult for her. Her dentist couldn't see her in the nursing home and she was unable to go to his office. Had some kind of ID been on the dentures, they probably would have been found and returned.”
