Why Selecting the Right Intraoral Scanner is Crucial
Choosing the right intraoral scanner is pivotal for maximizing the return on your investment. To ensure your scanner delivers the best performance, it should be user-friendly and seamlessly integrate with your current workflows.
Historically, dental professionals have been concerned that adopting digital technologies would necessitate extensive training, workflow changes, and complex coordination with labs. However, modern digital solutions, like ESCO’s intraoral scanners, are designed to enhance efficiency and integrate smoothly into existing practices without requiring specialized in-house expertise.
Key Considerations When Evaluating Intraoral Scanners
To transition into digital dentistry effectively, it’s essential to assess several factors:
Accuracy
The precision of the intraoral scanner is vital. Traditional impression methods often lead to inaccuracies, necessitating repeat impressions and additional patient visits. High accuracy in digital scans reduces the need for corrections and ensures better fitting restorations, saving time and improving patient satisfaction.
ESCO’s intraoral scanners are backed by clinical research demonstrating their accuracy, which translates into fewer patient chair times and more effective practice management.
Speed
Intraoral scanners should offer fast scanning capabilities. The ability to obtain digital impressions quickly and send them to the lab in minutes enhances patient comfort and accelerates treatment. ESCO’s scanners are engineered for rapid scanning, completing full arch scans efficiently.
Ease of Use
An intuitive scanner simplifies the transition to digital workflows. Choose a scanner that requires minimal training and integrates easily with your existing systems. ESCO’s intraoral scanners are designed for straightforward operation, ensuring smooth adoption and minimal disruption.
Cost
The cost of intraoral scanners has decreased, making them more accessible to dental practices. While prices can vary, investing in a scanner that balances performance with affordability is crucial for achieving the best return on investment. ESCO offers various configurations to meet different budget and practice needs, providing cost-effective options without compromising quality.
Workflow Integration
Evaluate how well the intraoral scanner integrates with your current workflows. A scanner that improves efficiency, reduces the need for repeat impressions, and enhances overall practice operations will contribute to a better patient experience and streamlined processes.
Software Compatibility
Ensure that the scanner’s software is compatible with your lab’s systems. ESCO’s intraoral scanners feature open software platforms, allowing seamless integration with various lab CAD software and maintaining your existing lab relationships without workflow disruptions.
