Marisa Fertitta on 08 - 07 - 25

Every dental practice is looking for ways to improve productivity, but real efficiency goes beyond working faster. True productivity means delivering high-quality care, reducing team stress, and keeping your schedule running smoothly, all while maximizing production.

That’s where DryShield’s productivity benefits come in. This all-in-one isolation system helps dental teams provide better care in less time. And with our biggest sale of the year running July 1st to July 31st, now is the perfect time to bring those benefits to your practice.

Let’s explore how DryShield drives measurable productivity gains, and how you can take advantage of our summer savings.

Where DryShield Saves Time: The Real Numbers

DryShield combines isolation, continuous suction, a bite block, a throat shield, and cheek retraction into a single easy-to-use device. But what does that mean for your daily workflow?

Here’s how practices report saving time on common procedures:

Fillings: Up to 40% less time per procedure on average
Sealants: Up to 33% less time per procedure
Crowns: Up to 33% less time per procedure
Scaling/root planing: Up to 27% less time per procedure
CEREC crowns: Up to 25% less time per procedure

When you add up the minutes saved per patient, the impact across your schedule — and bottom line — is significant.

How DryShield Productivity Benefits Maximize Production

More efficiency means more opportunities:

Perform two-quadrant dentistry, reducing the need for multiple appointments.
Increase the number of patients seen per day without extending hours.
Maintain production levels even when short-staffed, thanks to added autonomy.

In fact, 95% of dentists using DryShield report that the device makes it easier to perform restorative procedures, while improving procedure quality.

Smarter Workflows for the Whole Team

DryShield doesn’t just help dentists — it elevates the entire dental team:

Dentists

Greater predictability: consistent isolation, better visibility, and reliable retraction
Ability to work more independently, especially helpful during complex procedures

Assistants

More time to stay a step ahead: prepping rooms, assisting with charting, or setting up the next patient
Less need to manually retract and suction during procedures

Hygienists

Hands-free suction during prophy and scaling/root planing
Ergonomic benefits that reduce fatigue

One high-volume practice put it best: “DryShield has been the best investment I've made thus far. I could not imagine practicing without it... It allows us to get done what needs to get done in the most efficient way possible.”

Choosing the Right Mouthpieces for Your Practice

DryShield productivity benefits extend to cost savings and flexibility through mouthpiece options:

Autoclavable Mouthpieces: Cost-effective (about $0.56 per use when used up to 50 times), lower waste, and highly comfortable thanks to medical-grade silicone.
Single-Use Mouthpieces: Ideal for quick turnarounds, procedures needing maximum retraction strength, or when sterilization logistics are challenging.
