Why? Misconceptions are difficult to dispel.
It is a common belief that dentistry is the same overall and of the same quality overall.
This means that dentists are expected to meet standards which no one would expect from any other profession, namely that all individuals in this profession should demonstrate a consistent high level of knowledge, expertise, enthusiasm, honesty and professional commitment.
Is that realistic? No it is not. Our profession is no different to any other in terms of weaknesses and strengths, for example, craftsmen, managers, civil servants or the self-employed. Some are highly qualified in their field of activity, whereas others are only interested in not attracting attention. Some find it very important that they meet high standards of performance, whereas others are ’merely hanging on’.
From this point of view, when you see the contributions on our Web pages, many points will become clear to you automatically.
And don’t forget: we welcome your suggestions and criticism.

How? Transparency, quality and a guarantee for the public
The franchise contract from TruDent combines a comprehensive package which consists of quality assurance measures with dental practices which are ready and capable of adhering to these measures and which are willing to be checked by TruDent.
Dental practices, which have been awarded this seal, meet the standards which are described in the following. This is vouched for by TruDent.
You can rely on the following (The seven principles of quality):
Selection of dental partners
Regular further training of dentists and employees
Conciliatory proceedings for the resolution of differences between the practice and the patient
Practice management according to a quality management based on standard ISO 9001:2000
Random testing of result quality by a check dentist
Defined examination and treatment standards
Long-term quality guarantee for dental implants, crowns and inlays
Since patients are generally not able to assess the quality of their dental work themselves, they need to be assured that they are getting the best qualified treatment. The same is true for insurances and health insurers.
TruDent provides this security and transparency. We carry out assessments and checks on your behalf.
