5 Reasons Why the fastscan.io™ Scanning Solution Lives Up to Its Name

With digital dentistry becoming more popular each year, an increasing number of doctors are beginning to explore the benefits of using an intraoral scanner. But with such a wide variety of models to choose from, knowing which one is right for your practice can be a challenge. Whether you’re just starting your digital dentistry journey or looking for an effective upgrade to your current scanner, here’s why the fastscan.io™ Scanning Solution lives up to its name.

Speed + Accuracy

Even if you’re new to intraoral scanning, the process of scanning a patient with fastscan.io is remarkably quick. Harnessing the power of Medit® scanning technology, the software pieces together different parts of the oral region into a single image, giving you the flexibility to scan however you prefer — unlike many other scanners that require you to follow a specific path in the mouth. This intuitive, user-friendly feature allows most full-arch scans to be completed in under a minute. The secret is in a high-speed 70 FPS camera at the tip that detects surfaces within 11 micrometers of accuracy, adding more vivid images to the virtual scan with every pass. The result is a full-color 3D image of the mouth with all the details needed to create a great restoration.

Comfort

Another advantage of the fastscan.io is its user-friendly design. At only 245 grams, the wand is one of the lightest scanners available on the market, and one of the most ergonomic. It fits comfortably in the hand, and all the buttons are easy to reach. The tip is also reversible by 180 degrees, making it easier to scan the posterior section of the mouth without causing discomfort to the patient. It’s also more portable than other devices since it draws power from a single USB-C cable instead of a cumbersome power supply box.

Compatibility

The fastscan.io Scanning Solution is compatible with software and hardware from other brands thanks to its open-system design. This makes it more favorable for doctors who want the flexibility to choose their digital workflow from a variety of leading manufacturers. Doctors who take advantage of the scanner’s seamless connection to Glidewell by submitting their cases digitally can save $20 or more per unit on
restorations, but also have the freedom to send cases to their lab of choice.

Support

Clinicians who might be hesitant about the learning curve of new technology can take advantage of full support and training for their scanner directly from Glidewell. From unboxing the scanner and accessories, to installation and troubleshooting, the Customer Technical Support team is always available for assistance via text, chat, email, or phone. Every customer can also take advantage of a free one-on-one virtual training session with a fastscan.io technician.

Price + ROI

In addition to being one of the most affordable intraoral scanners on the market, the fastscan.io Scanning Solution has no monthly subscription or licensing fees and comes bundled with a portable cart, monitor, and laptop. But the true value is the long-term savings that come with its use. Besides saving $20 per unit on all-ceramic model-less restorations and $40 per unit on screw-retained crowns and custom implant abutments, by sending digital impressions to Glidewell you can also save $9 on shipping — that’s a great ROI!
