Fast, wireless, and the first cloud-native intraoral scanning solution, Primescan 2 offers a stress-free scanning experience
Robert A. Conte, DMD, has always been a proponent of digital dentistry. In fact, Dr. Conte, along with his practice partners at West Shore Dental Associates in Warwick, RI, was one of the first to pivot away from traditional analog impression methods, upgrading to the Primescan intraoral scanner years ago.
The dentists recently welcomed Primescan 2 into their growing practice, where it’s quickly become a favorite tool, an opinion seconded by many clinicians who, like Dr. Conte, named it a favorite in the DPS Readers’ Choice survey. The first cloud-native intraoral scanning solution, Primescan 2 is also wireless, allowing clinicians to scan patients using any internet-connected device.
A Complete Imaging & Diagnostic Aid
“We can take it into any treatment room without being tethered to a cart or a laptop,” he shared. “It’s convenient if a patient is in hygiene—whether it’s whitening, night guards, or clear aligner treatment—and we can scan them on the spot. There’s a great deal of portability, and the more you scan, the more productive you’ll be.”
With a sleek, well-balanced design—and packing speed, accuracy, and ease of use—Primescan 2 offers an effortless and time-efficient scanning experience. “Primescan 2 is faster than anything I’ve used before, and that speed is very impressive, but the proof of accuracy is in the fact that everything I’ve scanned has always fi t impeccably,” he said.
Primescan 2 also includes single-use scanning sleeves with a narrow tip design for easy access to molars or distal surfaces. “The single-use tips always come up in my patient conversations,” he said. “They’re more efficient and safer. The tips are also slim, so I can access places I may not ordinarily be able to reach. And the plastic sleeves, unlike metal, make the scanning experience more comfortable.”
The narrow tip design makes a big difference when scanning TMJ or pediatric patients, those who have difficulty opening, or patients who are in pain, he added.
Connected Dentistry, Powered by DS Core
Primescan 2 is powered by DS Core, a cloud platform that boosts efficiency and growth with time-saving clinical tools for every workflow.* Users can initiate a scan from any device with an internet connection, and DS Core promotes seamless collaboration with specialists, lab partners, and patients. For example, Dr. Conte uses the SureSmile Simulator as a powerful marketing and education tool to show his ortho patients their treatment possibilities.
“The integration of Primescan 2 with DS Core allows the clinician to have everything at their fingertips—imaging, treatment planning, and data are all centralized,” he shared.
