The real opportunity isn’t choosing between cameras or scanners, it’s combining their strengths. Together, they support a fully digital patient experience that’s visual, fast, and comprehensive.

• Use the camera to engage and educate the patient.
• Use the scanner to diagnose, plan, and execute with precision.

This dual approach bridges the gap between communication and clinical workflows. You’re not just telling patients what they need, you’re showing them why, and then delivering that treatment with cutting-edge efficiency.

Think of it as two sides of the same coin:

• One builds trust.
• The other ensures technical excellence.

The dental practices that thrive in the next five years will be those that embrace smart, integrated technology today. Not just to keep up; but to lead.

Consider what’s driving change:

• Patients expect digital tools as a standard.
• Reviews and referrals increasingly reflect the patient experience.
• Younger associates and hygienists want to work in tech-forward environments.
• New services, such as same-day crowns, smile previews, and AI-powered diagnostics, depend on a strong digital foundation.

This is no longer optional, it’s strategic. Practices without these tools are already beginning to feel the gap in efficiency, patient perception, and case acceptance.

Ask yourself:

• Are your competitors showing patients exactly what’s going on in their mouth?
• Are they scanning instead of taking impressions?
• Are they building a seamless, digital-first experience that patients talk about?

If the answer is yes – and it probably is – then now’s the time to act.
