RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

Starting a dental practice can be both exhilarating and daunting. Taking the right steps to opening your own practice gives you the opportunity to control how your practice operates. It also, of course, comes with major considerations - finances, staffing/recruiting, patients, service offerings, construction, legal, technology/equipment, and the list goes on. 

For over a decade, dental professionals have been ditching traditional impressions and materials in favor of their digital counterpart, the intraoral scanner. With years of development and great demand from the dental community, intraoral scanners are more powerful, comfortable, easy-to-use and affordable than ever before. It's become quite a crowded marketplace, with new options arriving constantly! 

Our team has been buying and selling dental imaging technologies for over 10 years. We have experience with just about every imaging brand out there, so we typically have good insight as to the advantages (and shortcomings) of most imaging technologies. 

Today, you'll find dentists and specialists ditching traditional impressioning and making the investment in intraoral scanners. And, it’s easy to see why... when scanners are more powerful and more accessible than ever before. Your staff and patients benefit with an easy-to-use tool for minimally invasive impressioning, creating exportable digital patient records - easily shared with 3D printers, labs and/or mills.

Intraoral scanners have become a staple in dentistry in recent years, replacing traditional impression materials with digital impressions. These handheld devices use light and optical technology to capture a 3D image of the oral cavity, which is then transferred to a computer. One of the most exciting applications of intraoral scanners is their integration with 3D printing technology, which has revolutionized the field of dentistry.

The rising demand for Medit scanners among dental and specialty practices stems from the company’s mission to provide an "easy entry to digital dentistry.” Touting no monthly subscription fees, on top of being one of the most affordable intraoral scanners on the market, Medit scanners have lived up to the hype by also being able to deliver in terms of performance.

New dental technologies come and go, but over the past decade, it appears intraoral scanners have become a mainstay. Doctors are investing in intraoral scanners to bring value to their practices, helping them maintain digital clinical records while performing treatments faster and more comfortably for patients. And, the digital format acquired through an intraoral scanner makes  working with mills, dental labs, and 3D printers easier than ever before.

As a dental professional, you’re likely hearing about new technologies all the time. With the promise of improving workflows, enhancing patient care, and giving you the ability to market and offer your patients treatment via state-of-the-art, advanced equipment, many new technologies make sound investments for your practice. To help you decipher which are worth your investment, you may reach out to your colleagues, attend a conference, or research online.
