Dentist Ismail Froberg: more patients and less after-appointment work
More patients during the day, less work after each appointment and less time reviewing records at closing: these are the benefits Ismail Froberg describes at Bakke Tannlegekontor AS. In his interview, the dentist explains how Dentio helps document the consultation as it happens, so he does not have to keep everything they have discussed in the back of his mind.
Less work after the appointment
Ismail connects documentation during the visit with what happens afterwards. He says he can spend less time on work following each appointment and less time going through patient records at the end of the day. He also says he can see more patients each day.
Those benefits fit together in his account: when information is captured during the consultation, there is less to reconstruct later. His account links a lighter documentation routine with more room for patient care during the working day.
Keeping attention on the patient
"Dentio lets me focus more on the patient."
For Ismail, the change is also about the conversation itself. He describes knowing that information from the patient, along with what he explains to them, is being documented. That helps him stay present without continually reminding himself to remember the discussion for a later note.
This is an important distinction when assessing a documentation tool: reducing the writing afterwards should support the consultation happening now. The note needs to reflect the relevant clinical information without taking over the encounter.
From conversation to a reviewed draft
In Dentio’s general workflow, the clinician starts a recording during the patient visit. Dentio structures the conversation into a draft using dental terminology and the clinic’s templates. The practitioner then reviews, edits and approves the note before it is entered into the patient record.
For a clinic exploring this approach, it helps to examine the whole sequence: how the appointment is started, where the draft is reviewed and how the approved information reaches the record. Agreeing those steps keeps responsibility clear while making the routine easier to repeat. Read more about that process in Dentio’s guide to AI clinical documentation.
