70+% of dentists across the US have adopted intraoral scanning to streamline the fabrication of dental appliances and restorations, but has your practice unlocked the full potential of digital dentistry? Recent innovations in optical technology and scanning software allow for more clinical efficiency and greater revenue potential than ever before, but continually reinvesting in scanning technology is not a realistic option for most practices.

Enter Dandy Vision, a revolutionary intraoral scanner that leverages unmatched speed and accuracy, assistive scanning technology, and hands-on feedback from clinicians to streamline every workflow in modern dentistry — at no expense to your practice. In addition to eliminating the cost barrier to upgrading your practice’s technology, Dandy Vision empowers you to minimize chair time and maximize clinical efficiency through:

  • The fastest scanning experience in digital dentistry
  • Fewer remakes with AI-scan analysis and live support that ensures you’ve acquired the perfect scan
  • Enhanced scan accuracy for consistent-fitting restorations and removable appliances
  • Digital tools and workflows designed with doctors, for doctors
  • Zero-risk scanner upgrade for every operatory in your practice

Dandy Vision offers seamless integration between scan capture, digital case submission and restoration fabrication, helping you deliver exceptional restorations in less time.

Let’s take a closer look at five key features that turn digital dentistry’s promise into a reality for your practice.

1. Scan fast with effortless precision

With Dandy Vision, you can shorten appointments and chair time with a smooth, fluid and ultra-fast scanning experience, including:

  • 25% faster scans than the competition
  • Full-arch scans in as little as 45 seconds*
45s

The advanced optical imaging of the Dandy Vision enables rapid video capture in one continuous motion, without repeated stops and re-scans. Further, the smaller and more comfortable scanner tip allows for easy maneuvering within the mouth and enhanced comfort for the patient.

As you’ll discover below, the superior speed of the Dandy Vision scanning experience is paired with intuitive software that guides you toward quickly capturing the exact scan you need for a lab-ready digital impression and highly predictable outcome for each case.

2. Achieve flawless scans—assistive technology does the work

The Chairside scanning software included with Dandy Vision guides you through each scan you need to perform, from simple crown & bridge cases to fully edentulous workflows.

Chairside

This foolproof scanning process offers step-by-step visual guidance for capturing and refining preps and scans.

Once your scan is acquired, a combination of intuitive software and real-time support helps ensure your scan is perfect while the patient is still in the chair, including:

  • AI scan review to quickly identify and fix issues like prep undercuts, margin errors and inadequate occlusal clearance
  • Live support directly through your scanner from experienced lab technicians
  • One-click margin line generation and path of insertion calculator

These intuitive software features were developed through collaboration between engineers, lab technicians and clinicians, with the understanding that a high-quality scan is the foundation of a high-quality restoration.

After your scan is received, digital Design Previews are available in under 24 hours, with the option for video calls to make real-time adjustments and finalize your case for fabrication.

3. Harness unmatched accuracy for perfect fits and fewer remakes

Dandy Vision offers advanced optical technology that scans soft tissue and margins with exceptional clarity and reliability, capturing the precise details needed for highly accurate restoration design, including:

  • A wide 16 x 14 mm field of view
  • Remarkable depth of field, with sharp focus up to a distance of 18 mm
  • Seamless, uninterrupted video stitching to avoid delays in the scanning process
Dandy vision

These features enable high-definition capture of gingiva, edentulous areas and challenging anatomy, helping you deliver quick-seating, beautiful restorations for even the most complex cases. 

Plus, no calibration is required for the Dandy Vision, resulting in an accurate image every time. This avoids the time-consuming process of recalibration and the impact this can have on scan quality. 

4. Adopt smarter scanning workflows shaped by dentists like you

To address the real-world challenges faced by digital-minded dentists, Dandy Vision optimizes clinical performance through advanced scanning technology and intuitive software refined by:

  • Feedback gathered from over 800 practices 
  • Learnings from 11.5 million intraoral scans
  • Testing and validation with leading U.S. dentists

In pilot tests, 4 out of 5 dentists chose to keep the Dandy Vision scanner over the leading alternative, the 3Shape TRIOS scanner.

Dandy Vision optimizes clinical performance through advanced scanning technology and intuitive software

Staying true to our mission to help clinicians leverage digital technology to efficiently deliver care, Dandy Vision features guided scanning software that makes it easy to take on new clinical procedures and efficiently capture scans for the full range of dental appliances and restorations.

Because the best outcomes come from collaboration between dentists and lab technicians, this software enables instant operatory-to-lab communication for faster, more predictable results.

Your shortcut to stress-free dentures

This guide shows you how to deliver high-quality, natural-looking dentures in fewer visits with a fully digital workflow. In the first appointment, scan the existing appliance, dentition, or edentulous arch, capture the opposing arch and bite, and submit the case through our Chairside software. In as little as five business days, you’ll receive the finished appliance (or wax rim for new denture cases). At the second appointment, simply seat, adjust, and finalize the case—or establish bite with the wax rim before submitting final scans. New denture cases include one final appointment to seat the finished denture. With our 2-Appointment Denture workflow, you can:

  • Cut chairtime in half while maintaining precision
  • Deliver beautiful, consistent results through a guided digital workflow
  • Get a FREE $30K intraoral scanner when you start

At this year’s Dental Leadership Summit, the conversation around growth is changing. Dental service organizations (DSOs) and emerging dental groups continue to face mounting pressure to grow, but today’s macroeconomic climate is forcing many to rethink how that growth happens.  

Every group leader knows that growth brings tension. As organizations expand, it becomes increasingly difficult to preserve what made them successful—clinical quality, patient satisfaction, clinical autonomy, and a strong culture.

At Dandy, we believe that no matter the size of your organization or your growth strategy, scaling smarter starts with the right foundation.

As the nation’s first fully digital, full-service dental lab, Dandy connects every step of the lab workflow—from intraoral scanning and order management to chairside design, communication, and manufacturing. We’re an end-to-end partner helping thousands of practices and DSOs grow sustainably by uniting clinical excellence with operational efficiency. 

Ultimately, sustainable growth depends on alignment. The strongest organizations build a foundation that connects their business and clinical teams across four essential pillars:  

  • Reliable infrastructure and centralized systems
  • Data visibility to guide smart decisions
  • Strong partnerships that scale with you
  • A lab strategy that supports both clinicians and the business

That last piece, the lab strategy, is often overlooked, yet it can make or break scalability. As dental groups grow, they naturally add more labs, which can lead to fragmentation, inconsistency, and inefficiency. Those gaps directly affect quality and clinician experience.

That’s where Dandy comes in. We’re built to drive alignment across leadership and clinical teams. We earn executive buy-in by solving for scale, cost, and complexity—and we win clinician trust by improving their daily workflows and confidence.

Here’s how:

  • A new standard for quality and cost alignment: Our fully digital workflows and advanced manufacturing deliver unmatched consistency and efficiency.
  • Rapid time-to-value: Dandy is engineered for frictionless adoption so clinicians can see results right away.
  • Adoption through engagement, not enforcement: Our team works directly with clinicians to earn trust and excitement, lifting the burden from leadership.
  • End-to-end support that grows with you: We’re more than a lab—we’re a long-term strategic partner committed to your success.

With Dandy, your dental lab becomes a key driver of top-line revenue growth. The results speak for themselves. Dandy partners have seen a 96% decrease in remake rates, 50% reduction in denture appointments, over 10 hours of chair time saved per month, and thousands in shipping cost savings annually. And these gains scale as your organization grows.

As the conversation at the Dental Leadership Summit continues, one thing is clear: the future of dentistry belongs to the groups that scale smarter—those that align quality, cost, and clinician experience from the ground up.

Dandy is proud to help build that future.

Read our ebook to learn more about how Dandy helps DSOs and group practices scale smarter.

Your Most Overlooked Growth Lever

With acquisitions slowing, DSO growth now depends on maximizing the performance of your existing practices. Your dental lab—often treated as a cost to control—may be the most overlooked lever for driving same-store growth. While dental labs have traditionally been treated as a cost to control, they can actually be one of the most powerful levers for unlocking same-store revenue growth at scale.
In this ebook, you’ll learn:

  • Why the cost-center mindset creates hidden inefficiencies that erode growth and profitability
  • How the right lab partner can unlock new revenue through more chair time, expanded services, and clinician empowerment
  • Real-world results, including how one practice drove 31% annual revenue growth with Dandy
