Over 30 percent of dentists own an intraoral scanner for digital impressioning (DI), and over 25 percent of dentists provide same-day crowns through CAD/CAM Dentistry. The reason for this growth is that CAD/CAM and DI are mutually beneficial for patients and practices. Doctors can create restorations with an improved fit and aesthetic, which means fewer, faster and more comfortable visits for patients.

To realize these results, doctors and their staff must find a partner with expertise in each step of CAD/CAM and DI workflow. A partner that acts in a doctor’s best interest from the first handshake to the last day before retirement. A partner like Henry Schein.

Think about 3D Printers for Private Dental Practices

3D Printers provide dentists with a cost-effective tool to expand the scope of treatment options produced in the practice. From manufacturing surgical guides to sleep apnea devices, 3D printing optimizes and simplifies the workflow of specialty procedures by keeping profits in-house and providing faster outcomes for patient treatment.

Fully embracing digital dentistry can revolutionize a practice and their efficiency. Partner with Henry Schein and our innovative industry leading Vendor Partners to integrate a complete solution. Incorporate all devices and software from one place with networked software. Connect scanning, imaging, treatment planning, milling and printing for a seamless diagnostic, treatment planning and patient educational experience.

With a fully optimized workflow Dental Practitioners can fully focus on patient care. Applications such as veneers, implant-supported restorations, inlays, onlays, crowns, prosthodontic appliances and bridges can be created in-house and in a single visit in many cases, saving time for the patient and the practice. CAD/CAM is a tremendously valuable piece of today’s digital workflow that can also include digital impressions, 3D printing, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and other technological advances. Coming together as part of a workflow design within the practice, CAD/CAM offers a wide range of advantages for both patients and clinicians alike.

CAD/CAM 3D printing provides advanced tools for designing and producing high-quality dental restorations with enhanced efficiency and accuracy.

3D Printing technology has been around for over 40 years but only in the past few years has there been an increased recognition of the application for the dental industry. New technology has given rise to guided surgery and a corresponding greater need to provide custom designed surgical devices. 3D printing and scanning change dentistry’s presentation and creation of physical models.

With the use of a 3D printer, a dental practitioner can have control over an implant process from planning right through to placement.

3D printing is more affordable than ever and offices with 3D printing capabilities can be seen as “cutting edge” and Henry Schein Canada’s partnership with leading vendors ensure that as 3D evolves so will the applications.
