Dandy explores the increasingly essential scanning technology behind digital dentistry – and how Dandy Vision can help.
Digital dentistry has rapidly moved from a ‘nice to have’ to an essential part of any modern practice. And, as adoption grows, clinicians are quickly learning that not all technology is created equal. Some scanners excel in speed, others in detail, and only a select few integrate seamlessly with software – while many fail to deliver across the board.
For clinicians who are looking for a scanner that checks all the boxes, Dandy Vision is an excellent option. At its core, Vision is designed to simplify and accelerate every stage of the restorative workflow, from initial scan to final fit. By combining advanced optics, and AI-powered analysis, it enables clinicians to work faster, more predictably and with greater confidence.
Speed that makes a difference
One of the most immediate benefits of adopting a next-generation scanner is time. Dandy Vision delivers a fluid, continuous scanning experience that can reduce interruptions and eliminate the need for repeated rescans. Full-arch scans can be captured in as little as 45 seconds, helping to significantly shorten chair time.
In practical terms, this means more efficient appointments, smoother workflows and the ability to see more patients without compromising quality. Faster scanning also enhances the patient experience, making appointments more comfortable and less invasive.
Precision you can trust
Speed alone is not enough; accuracy is what ultimately determines clinical success. Vision’s advanced optical system captures fine details such as margins and soft tissue with exceptional clarity, supporting highly accurate restorations and better-fitting appliances.
AI-powered scan analysis (now available for crowns and dentures) adds another layer of reliability, identifying scan issues in real time and guiding clinicians through a quick touch up. This reduces the likelihood of remakes and adjustments later on, saving both time and cost while improving patient outcomes.
A more connected workflow
Perhaps the biggest shift is not just in the scanner itself, but in how it integrates with Dandy’s digital platform, Chairside. Vision integrates fully with Chairside, making it easy to scan, submit, and track cases all in one place.
On the feedback and collaboration side, there’s Live Scan Review, where a lab technician remotely accesses your scan within 60 seconds and reviews it while the patient is still in the chair. There’s also Digital Design Preview, which allows doctors to review designs in their portal or mobile app and approve or request changes before fabrication. This level of connectivity is unrivaled in the dental space, and helps doctors achieve predictable, high-quality results case after case.
Designed with clinicians in mind
Importantly, Dandy Vision has been shaped by real-world clinical use. Insights from millions of scans and feedback from hundreds of practices have informed its design, resulting in intuitive software and guided workflows that are easy to adopt.
The result is a system that works for both experienced digital users and for practices that are transitioning from analogue workflows to digital, making it easier to expand services and take on more complex cases with confidence.
Lower barriers to going digital
For many practices, cost has traditionally been a barrier to upgrading technology. Dandy addresses this by including Vision and Chairside software for free when practices meet a £700 monthly lab minimum. This approach makes it more feasible for clinicians to fully embrace the efficiencies of a modern, integrated system, without the added overhead.
