Under the Spotlight<br />
Patients often come into the clinic inquiring<br />
about laser dentistry. Dr. Lau sees this as a great<br />
conversation opener wherein he can talk about<br />
their advance practice giving them a favourable<br />
market position.<br />
“A lot of patients do come in and ask ‘what<br />
is laser dentistry?’. It has made our practice<br />
successful and it has denitely made us stand out<br />
from the rest,” he stated.<br />
Dr. Lau constantly upgrades his materials<br />
and equipment in his practice. Moreover, his<br />
practice is very aesthetically-driven which means<br />
he surrounds himself with pleasing and functional<br />
equipment. It is no surprise why Dentsply Sirona<br />
has been part of his practice as he appreciates how<br />
useful and appealing the company’s products and<br />
equipment are.<br />
In fact, during IDEM <strong>2018</strong>, Dr. Lau purchased<br />
two additional chairs to be installed in his main<br />
practice – making it a five chair practice. He<br />
will be incorporating the Teneo, the top of the<br />
line dental chair from Dentsply Sirona, which<br />
includes numerous functions (massage, implant,<br />
endodontic functions with intraoral cameras<br />
and screens). He is looking forward to this new<br />
enhancement to his practice and believes that it<br />
will be benecial for the patient and for him. In<br />
addition, he recently invested in a 3D printer which<br />
will further contribute to the ecient and modern<br />
workow of his practice.<br />
Fully embracing continuing education<br />
Aside from frequent upgrades to his materials<br />
and equipment, Dr. Lau certainly considers that<br />
continuing education is an integral part for all<br />
professionals. With the fast pace of technology and<br />
change in the eld of medicine and dentistry, he<br />
recognises that it is a duty to keep oneself updated.<br />
“It is not just sitting down and listening to<br />
lectures but it is also speaking to peers, to the<br />
industry and learning as much as you can. In my<br />
opinion, I nd that the younger generations fully<br />
embrace continuing education. Unfortunately, and<br />
sadly, some of my older colleagues may not share<br />
the same view,” he shared.<br />
Though this might be the case, Dr. Lau believes<br />
that it is slowly changing. He believes that through<br />
the help of the government body, organisations,<br />
associations and societies they can provide better<br />
continuing education and help everybody to<br />
participate even more.<br />
He mentioned that it is good to see colleagues<br />
wanting to learn further on new advancements<br />
