"The scanner program has made for a seamless incorporation of new technology into my practice. The help and support have been on point. My team and I are so glad we have participated in this program!"
“The two biggest factors detouring a dentist from going digital in this era are cost and disruption of workflow and training for dentist and staff. Desktop Health and Brewer Lab have virtually eliminated these 2 hurdles from going digital. Since starting on the Itero digital program with Desktop Health and Brewer lab our patients are so happy not having to take a traditional type impression. And the speed of getting cases back and accuracy of our restorations has greatly improved.”
“We are loving the scanner and working with DAL, Peoria. Our night guard and crown business has increased significantly. We are especially excited about the nightguards. Dr. did not like the process before having a scanner and working with DAL. The material is great, no adjustments needed and they ‘pop’ right in, and patients are loving the fit. We have increased night guard productions by more than 50%. Staff finished their training yesterday, and Dr. Weinhandl is very excited about the process. Our business has never been better with the help from our new relationship.”
"Things have been going great with the scanners! We love them, and it is making dentistry more fun - for us, the team, and the patients."
