| This chart compares the DDS.com and Officite website services. The companies take two very different approaches in the service they provide to their clients. DDS.com provides the most content in the industry, with relevant, educational graphics on most pages. The links are actual links to live sites so click on them to see the different approach used by each company. You will see that the DDS.com service is much more educational, and that almost any page can be opened in the operatory to explain more about that procedure. Officite provides content but the images are not always relevant, and they do not provide as many features as the DDS.com service. The features below are just some of the differences between the two services. |
