Katya Archambault, DMD, stands at the pinnacle of her career, having transformed her dental practice with cutting-edge technology and a passion ignited by her first terrified patient, who after a painless visit solidified Archambault's belief that dentistry was her true calling.
"My father was a physician and pushed me toward dentistry thinking it was a good field for women, even though I wanted to go into medicine," she says. "I wasn't too sure at the beginning, but it changed for me after I had my first patient. He was petrified; it was his first time seeing a dentist. When it was over, he said it didn't hurt at all, and from that minute, I knew I was in the right field."

After working as a general dentist, Archambault moved into diagnostic and maxillofacial radiology before completing her surgical training. Today, she is revolutionizing her private practice in La Jolla, California, by integrating DEXIS technology into her workflow. She leverages DTX Studio™ Clinic planning software to "streamline treatment planning and enhance patient engagement."
Archambault, who also is a clinical instructor at the University of California, San Diego, emphasizes the impact of digital technology in dentistry. "The entire digital workflow spectrum has significantly improved treatment planning since I began my career," she explains. Having utilized DTX Studio for more than 4 years, she describes her experience using it as "amazing," highlighting the efficiency and predictability of the software.
A standout feature of DTX Studio is its AI-integrated surgical template fabrication, which can be completed in under 3 minutes. "This has made my life so much easier," Archambault notes, adding that patients enjoy seeing their treatment being planned and visualized in real time. "A few clicks build a lot of confidence and treatment acceptance," she says, reflecting on the positive response from her patients.
As her primary software, DTX Studio Clinic enables seamless communication between Archambault's team members and provides a comprehensive view of patient care. "It's an extremely positive experience that keeps the front desk and clinical staff aligned," she shares. Patients are not only impressed by the technology but also feel more involved in their treatment plans, fostering a collaborative environment.
The software also offers robust resources, including online instructional videos, making it accessible for both new and experienced users. Archambault recommends that newcomers consider taking a mini-residency, such as the one available at UCSD, to fully grasp the potential of DTX Studio and the digital workflow it supports.
With a strong focus on innovation and patient care, and embodying the forward-thinking spirit of modern dentistry, Archambault encourages her peers to embrace the advancements offered by DEXIS technology. "DTX Studio Clinic is a fantastic tool for your practice. It's extremely efficient, predictable, and easy to use," she concludes.
