• Dandy’s AI Scan Review detects crown preparation issues with, like undercuts, margin obstructions, and occlusal clearance, while the patient is still in the chair. 
• If issues are detected, it alerts dentists right away, providing step-by-step visual guidance on how to refine the preparation.
• It’s the first AI that confirms a crown preparation’s quality and lab-readiness, leading to better-fitting restorations and fewer chairside adjustments.

NEW YORK CITY— November 18, 2025 — Dandy, the fully digital dental lab, today announced the launch of AI Scan Review, dentistry’s first chairside AI assistant for real-time crown preparation analysis. Built into Dandy’s Chairside scanning software, AI Scan Review provides instant feedback and visual guidance, helping eliminate costly remakes and improving the fit of dental restorations.

“Every clinician knows the sinking feeling: the lab calls days after you’ve submitted an impression, saying it has issues and needs to be redone,” said Kenn Butler, Head of Research and Development at Dandy. “But what if your technician reviewed impressions chairside, before your patient even left? That’s exactly what Dandy’s AI Scan Review does — within seconds.”

In practice, AI Scan Review acts as a quiet, always-on assistant, reviewing every crown prep and scan in the background and surfacing only what needs attention.

Quickly Identifies Issues

Unlike AI built into other scanning software, which flags general scan errors like overall completeness, Dandy’s AI goes deeper. It examines every tooth surface, angle, and path-of-insertion of the scanned preparation, processing millions of data points to identify undercuts, margin obstructions, and occlusal clearance issues that would lead to lengthy adjustments or a remake.

Dr. Glenn Appleton, DDS, said, “It’s like having your lab technician assist over your shoulder. The AI is quiet, accurate, and effective — a welcome helping hand.”

Eliminates Remakes and Lengthy Adjustments

When it detects a preparation issue, AI Scan Review gently alerts the dentist and displays real-time visual guidance where to refine their prep. After the detected issues are fixed, the preparation is re-analyzed for lab readiness. What could have led to a remake or several chairside adjustments is caught and corrected while the patient is still in the chair.

“The launch of AI Scan Review marks a major milestone in our mission to eliminate remakes,” said Daniel Hanover, cofounder of Dandy. “We’re out to improve the dental lab workflow from beginning to end, from scans to case reviews to automated production to rapid delivery on timelines no other lab can match. We’re with our customers every step of the way, helping them grow their practices and achieve better patient care.”

Availability

This new tool is now available to all Dandy Chairside users at no additional cost. To learn more about AI Scan Review, visit https://www.meetdandy.com/ai-scan-review/.

The post Dandy Launches AI Scan Review, the First Chairside AI Assistant for Crown Preparation appeared first on Dandy.

NEW YORK CITY— Oct. 27, 2025 — Dandy, a fully digital dental lab, today unveiled two new products for digital dentistry: the revolutionary Dandy Vision intraoral scanner and the powerful all-in-one touchscreen DandyCart.

Designed to outperform in today’s intraoral scanner market, Vision delivers unprecedented speed, precision, and fluidity along with the soft tissue clarity needed for confident treatment planning. 

Vision is the world’s smartest intraoral scanner, powered by next-generation optics and the first-ever AI scan analysis. Vision sets a new standard for clinical performance with applied insights from over 11.5 million scans and is designed to produce the best restorative outcome.

Vision is the centerpiece of Dandy’s unique digital ecosystem, which links digital impressions, innovative lab products, real-time case tracking and live clinical support into a seamless restorative workflow.

This launch establishes Dandy as the premier restorative solution for modern dental practices, combining a complete vertically integrated system of hardware, software and lab, that helps modern practices stay ahead.

Fast, Precise, Effortless Scanning

Dandy Vision scans 24.9% faster than leading scanners, setting a new benchmark for digital dentistry: 

• Bringing together the latest advances in scanning hardware and software, Vision delivers fluid, precise detail across every restoration type.
• With its wide field of view and deep depth of field, Vision captures even the most challenging areas with remarkable clarity and smoothness.
• AI-powered instant issue detection and real-time crown prep analysis guide doctors as they scan, seeing and helping correct what the human eye can’t. 

A Complete Digital Workflow

Dandy Vision is more than a scanner. It’s the gateway to an end-to-end restorative workflow that connects every step in the process, from taking impressions in the operatory to seating the final restoration. Paired with Dandy’s Chairside software, Vision powers scans that are exceptionally precise and supported in real time by Dandy’s technicians. Practices can launch a Live Scan Review in under 60 seconds, receive 3D digital design previews in less than 24 hours and access real-time support from lab-technicians who understand the scanner, the software and their case. 

With Dandy Vision, mirror tips are free — for life¹. There are no software fees. No long-term contracts. Just a clear path to growing your practice with confidence.

Expert Testimonials

“There are times where my other intraoral scanner feels jittery or choppy. Dandy Vision feels like it’s painting,” said Dr. Mark Wilk, DDS, dentist at Tudor City Dental.

“It scans faster, the resolution is better, and it picks up more detail,” said Dr. Hollie Ellis, DDS, MPH, at Dentist Sykesville MD. “I’m not spending nearly as much time scanning. I’m cutting crown appointments by 15 to 20 minutes, from 1.5 hours to about 45 minutes.”

Executive quote

Daniel Hanover, Dandy cofounder, said, “We poured everything we learned from more than 11 million restorations into the Dandy Vision Scanner. It’s the first intraoral scanner that truly delivers on the promise of digital dentistry. With its unrivaled speed and proven precision, Dandy Vision gives dentists the confidence to focus on what matters most: leading with technology, elevating patient outcomes and growing a practice that sets the standard in care.”

Helping patients understand their care

DandyCart is the all-in-one workstation that elevates every scan and patient interaction. Its large HD touchscreen lets doctors zoom, rotate, and review in real time, transforming scans into clear visual stories that help patients understand their care and increase case acceptance. With computing power that amplifies the performance of top intraoral scanners, DandyCart renders images instantly and gives doctors a seamless, responsive experience with every scan. Its compact frame, smooth-rolling wheels and streamlined cable management make it easy to fit into any operatory and glide between rooms, keeping workflows efficient and practices running at their best.

The post Dandy unveils next era of digital dentistry with Dandy Vision intraoral scanner appeared first on Dandy.

NEW YORK CITY— July 9, 2025 — Dandy, America’s fully digital dental lab, today announced the first premium denture solution priced for government health plans^*. With its two-appointment workflow and turnaround in less than 10 days, Dandy’s Reimbursement-Aligned Denture Suite dramatically improves patient access while freeing up valuable chair time for dentists. 

Dandy’s new solution gives Medicaid beneficiaries and other patients with low-reimbursement insurance plans, including federal and state plans, access to Dandy’s top-of-the-line Signature Denture, renowned for its durability, wear resistance, and superior aesthetics. Priced between $119–$199 per arch, Dandy’s Signature Dentures are made in the USA using high-quality Lucitone-certified resins and flexible partial materials, and are backed by a five-year fit-and-material warranty.

Dandy’s low-solution supports full and partial dentures, as well as scan-based digital relines, eliminating the need for kits, multiple visits, or analog labs.  

“Until now, high-quality dentures were financially out of reach for many patients, and inconvenient for everyone. It’s hard for a lot of people to get to the dentist at all, much less five times, which is how long it usually takes to get dentures,” said Daniel Hanover, co-founder of Dandy. “With the efficiencies we achieve through AI, digital scanning, 3D printing, and other forms of automation, we can offer a better experience for patients and more bandwidth for dental practices— all without compromising on speed or quality.”

Unlike traditional denture solutions that rely on physical impression kits, Dandy’s all-digital workflow begins with a digital intraoral scan. Dandy gives practices an industry-leading scanner for free. The scan is transmitted to Dandy electronically, along with all relevant notes and records. Dentists collaborate with Dandy lab techs in a 3D virtual workspace to control and approve each case before it’s manufactured. At every step, Dandy’s digital workflow ensures that nothing is lost, and nothing is misunderstood, so the final product is exactly what the doctor orders — and the patient needs. 

Dentists can also mail in wax impressions and enjoy all the other benefits of the digital Dandy workflow, including real-time collaboration with Dandy technicians.

“Our patient was very pleased with the final result, noting that the aesthetics, bite, VDO, lip line, and midline all looked excellent,” said Dr. Green of Twin Buttes Dental, an early adopter of the two-appointment denture workflow.

Dandy’s Reimbursement-Aligned Denture Suite is now available at no additional charge through Dandy’s Chairside platform. For more information, visit the Dandy website here.

The post Dandy Launches America’s First Two-Visit Dentures for Medicaid, Medicare, and Low-Paying PPOs appeared first on Dandy.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, May 22, 2025 — Dandy, the fully digital dental lab, today launched a new suite of real-time visual collaboration features for its pioneering Chairside and case management software for dental practices. Dentists and lab techs can now plan and review cases over interactive video calls, ensuring the highest level of accuracy in the fabrication of dental prosthetics.

With conventional communication, important case details are often lost between the office and the lab in a flurry of disconnected emails, phone calls, and paper documents. Dandy’s digital workspace brings dentists and lab techs together in real time, as if they were in the same room, so everyone can see — and agree — on the case before it’s sent to production. 

Dandy’s first-of-its-kind Live Design Review brings cases to life onscreen using detailed 3D visualizations. Working with experienced Dandy lab technicians, dentists can collaborate on cases, request changes, ask clinical questions, confirm adjustments, and approve designs with complete confidence in the outcome.

Dentists can start a review with a Dandy technician within minutes or schedule a meeting for a convenient upcoming date. Dandy also provides specialized Case Planning sessions to map out complex restorations and Implant Planning sessions with surgical specialists.

By collaborating with the lab on a shared digital/CAD model, dentists can refine designs before Dandy begins production, thereby creating predictable clinical outcomes and eliminating surprises during seating appointments. It all adds up to a better patient experience and more confidence for dentists.

“I recently experienced Live Design Review with Dandy, and it was phenomenal! I’ve never seen a lab with the capability to review a case in real time with a technician. It was incredible to witness—the technology was impressive, and the workflow to schedule it was seamless. Excellent customer service,” said Dr. Alexander Rabkin, Westwood Dental Partners.

Live Design Review is Dandy’s latest innovation in digitizing dental workflows. Dandy offers advanced 3D intraoral scanners at no additional charge and provides on-demand scan reviews while patients are still in the chair. Its 100% digital US-based dental labs use AI, 3D printing, and other leading-edge technologies to create restorations with extraordinary speed and precision.

“Dandy has always been focused on delivering exceptional service and results for our customers. Real-time video collaboration is a natural extension of that promise, giving dentists direct access to expert support exactly when they need it,” said Daniel Hanover, co-founder of Dandy. “By making collaboration faster, easier, and more accurate, we’re helping practices deliver better care while growing their businesses.”

The new features are now available to existing customers in early access. To learn more about Dandy’s new offerings and how they are reshaping communication between dentists and the lab, visit meetdandy.com.

He also taught as an Adjunct Professor at NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

Dandy is on a mission to bring the $30 billion dental lab industry into the digital age. Today, 56 million Americans rely on dental crowns or dentures. Another 106 million have had orthodontic treatment, and 26 million have veneers². Each product needs to be tailored to the individual patient. Traditionally, labs have relied on manual techniques that result in ill-fitting prosthetics, high costs, and inconsistent patient outcomes. Dandy’s fully digital platform reimagines the process end-to-end, from chairside scanning to 3D-printed prosthetics, using artificial intelligence, computer vision, computer-aided design, automation, and robotics to create custom restorations quickly and efficiently. With Yu leading engineering, Dandy will accelerate the next wave of AI-powered innovations to enhance the fit, aesthetics, and accessibility of oral healthcare.

“AI presents an extraordinary opportunity to improve human health and quality of life. That’s what drew me to Dandy,” said Cong Yu, Dandy’s Head of Engineering. “Through the innovative use of AI-driven technology, Dandy has transformed the supply chain and manufacturing of dental prosthetics, delivering superior quality at scale. I’m excited to share my expertise and work with the Dandy team to further this goal.”

Dandy has attracted top engineering talent from leading tech companies, including Amazon, Apple, Uber, and Waymo. Having surpassed $100 million in revenue in its first two years, the company is growing rapidly. It plans to hire more than 50 engineers in 2025—many in remote roles—with specialities in advanced geometry, computer-aided design, and intelligent manufacturing systems.

“It’s an incredible time to be a part of the Dandy team,” said Lisa Duron, Dandy’s Head of People. “As we continue to grow, we’re looking for engineers who are energized by the opportunity to work with brilliant colleagues, solve challenging technical problems, and make life-changing healthcare widely accessible.”

“Technology is at the heart of Dandy’s transformation of the dental industry,” said Dandy CEO Daniel Hanover. “We’re applying the latest advances in imaging, AI, robotics, and supply chain optimization to dental practices and enhancing patient experiences. Cong brings a wealth of practical experience leveraging advanced AI techniques to solve real-world problems. Under Cong’s direction, Dandy will triple its investment in engineering and R&D this year as we extend AI to every corner of dental design and manufacturing.”

The post Digital Dental Lab Dandy Appoints Head of Engineering to Lead Next Wave of AI-Powered Design and Manufacturing appeared first on Dandy.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, April 8, 2025 — Dandy, the leading fully digital dental lab, has launched dentistry’s first end-to-end aesthetic digital workflow, “The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover”. The new offering enables dentists to deliver predictable aesthetic outcomes without the inefficiencies of traditional labs.

Aesthetic cases, such as veneers and anterior crowns, can be high-pressure. Dentists need to ensure that patients are confident in the process and delighted with the outcome. Given their complexity, these cases require constant two-way communication and data transfer between the dentist and the lab. Today, no dental lab offers a streamlined workflow for aesthetic, multi-appointment cases, and much of this communication is done via email, phone or text messages, leading to disorganization, lost files, and unpredictable results. 

Dandy’s 3-Appointment Smile Makeover offers a novel solution to an industry-wide problem. It enables dentists to go from temporaries to final restorations in one connected, predictable workflow. Dentists can scan, order, and communicate with the lab, all within Dandy’s fully-integrated software. There’s no need to reference previous smile designs, scans, prescriptions, or shades, as all patient and case data is in one place. 

Dentists can also allow patients to test-drive their new smile with lab-designed provisionals and then perform a Temp-Reference Scan, capturing the approved temporaries with any adjustments that Dandy will use as the blueprint for the final design. This important feature ensures the final restoration fits, functions and looks exactly as the patient expected.

The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover has three simple steps:

1. Consultation

• Scan & photograph your patient in minutes using Dandy’s QR code photo upload.
• Order a Physical Wax-Up + Matrix for the next appointment.
• Digitally modify and approve the wax-up design before production.

2. Smile Test Drive

• With the Matrix, temporize the patient using lab-designed, aesthetic provisionals.
• Perform a Temp-Reference Scan with any chairside adjustments for a precise digital blueprint of the finals.
• Approve the final design with Dandy’s seamless Design Preview.

3. Deliver the Perfect Final Restoration

• Predictable fit, function, and aesthetics—no surprises.
• Streamlined workflow eliminates errors and unnecessary lab back-and-forth.
• Give patients the confidence of a truly life-changing smile.

The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover is just the latest innovation from Dandy, which is committed to delivering exceptional quality dental lab services and practice experiences at affordable prices, through digitization.

“For too long, dentists have had to deal with inefficient lab workflows, constant design revisions, and unpredictable results,” said Ben Licht, Anterior Crown and Bridge Product Owner at Dandy. “The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover changes everything. Now, every dentist can confidently deliver life-changing aesthetics with a simple, fully digital workflow—without the frustration of endless lab back-and-forth. This is the future of cosmetic dentistry.”

“This workflow provides such a huge level of ease and predictability that any dentist can now deliver stunning anterior cosmetic dentistry,” said Dr. David Sherberg of Bayway Dental in St. Petersburg, Florida. “Amazingly, it’s all embedded in the Chairside software we already know and use.”

Dentists can adopt the 3-Appointment Smile Makeover digital workflow in their practice by visiting meetdandy.com/get-started and signing up today.
