RENEW DIGITAL LEARNING HUB

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.

It is becoming more common for dental practices to operate across several office locations, regardless of specialty. And, just like your main location, you’ll want to make sure you have access to the technology you need to provide the best patient care, including a digital x-ray and/or CBCT system.

Over 15 years ago, iTero^Ⓡ launched its first intraoral scanner. As a disruption to traditional impressioning, intraoral scanning has revolutionized many dental and orthodontic procedures. Intraoral scanners make it possible to create, store and share digital patient records, a more pleasant experience for your patients, and a more effective storage method than conventional molds.

Renew Digital expands their digital product offerings with the iTero Element^®Flex Foundation Certified Pre-Owned Intraoral Scanner

Used dental equipment seems to be everywhere these days. Several used dental equipment dealers have crept up in the past 5-10 years and it’s hard to keep them all straight. Many of these dealers advertise used dental equipment for sale directly on their websites or through other online channels and marketplaces such as eBay. If you’ve never bought used dental equipment for your practice, or never even considered it, you may be asking “Who is buying all of this used stuff?” and “Is it just as good as new?”

In February 2022, Renew Digital proudly announced the launch of our certified pre-owned lineup of intraoral scanners from top brands, including the iTero Element® Flex Foundation certified pre-owned intraoral scanner. For over a decade, you’ve known us as the leaders in extraoral dental imaging, and now we’re taking our extensive expertise into another area of advanced imaging technology with intraoral scanning.

Dentists and dental professionals are increasingly shying away from messy and uncomfortable traditional dental impressions in favor of intraoral scanners that allow for the capture of impressions digitally.
