Available at no additional cost, digital dentistry solution demonstrated at Yankee Dental Congress in Boston.
By Stan Goff, Senior Managing Editor
Dandy is building a modern operating system for dentistry and attendees at the Yankee Dental Congress in Boston flocked around their booth to learn more.
The fully digital dental lab unveiled its new Dandy Cart, Dandy’s chairside all-in-one workstation with touchscreen that pairs seamlessly with the Dandy Vision scanner. Plenty of attendees at the Thomas Michael Menino Convention & Exhibition Center visited the booth to see the technology demonstrated at the trade show from January 29 to January 31.
Dentistry Today visited Friday and both Senior Manager, Product Marketing Andrew Bukuras and Clinical Digital Expert Robert Cairo demonstrated the brand-new all-in-one cart as well as Dandy’s efficient workflows.
“We handle everything, the scanning, the design and the manufacturing,” said Bukuras.
In 2025, Dandy expanded beyond lab services with the launch of its own hardware, Dandy Vision, an intraoral scanner designed for speed, precision, and seamless lab integration. They also introduced AI Scan Review, smart chairside software that instantly flags potential scan issues in real time—helping clinicians save time and improve accuracy before patients even leave the chair.
Cairo, Dandy sales engineer and a former lab owner with decades of experience with All-on-X procedures, demonstrated how fast and easy the scanner and design workflow is and how AI integrates and assists in the process.
While the Dandy Cart was on display at Yankee Dental Congress this past week, it was officially launched today.
“For too long, advanced chairside technology has come with massive price tags and fragmented setups,” Daniel Hanover, co-founder of Dandy said in today’s press release. “By bringing scanning, visualization, and AI-powered review directly to the patient, we’re helping clinicians build trust faster, stay on schedule, and deliver restorations that fit right the first time.”
Trust, Speed, Quality
A $40,000 value, The Dandy Vision Scanner & Cart is designed to remove friction from every part of the chairside experience, minimizing remakes and increasing patient satisfaction.
- Increased patient trust: The cart allows clinicians to present scans and smile simulations right in their seats using the large (21.5”) display and adjustable tilting screen. This helps the patient visualize and understand proposed treatments, improving clarity and case acceptance.
- Fast, fluid scanning: On-time appointments ranks #1 among all factors correlated with overall patient satisfaction. With the Dandy Cart, clinicians can move between operatories and set up their scanner in a matter of seconds. A powerful processor renders 3D models and scans quickly, helping clinicians stay on schedule.
- AI-powered scan reviews: Dandy Cart pairs with the Dandy Vision scanner to deliver rapid AI Scan Reviews and Live Scan Reviews with Dandy technicians, saving 3+ appointments per month by minimizing remakes and calls from the lab to rescan, according to the company.
“The Dandy cart has been instrumental in our practice,” added Patrick Sarager, DDS, of Liberty Family Dental in Rockdale, Texas. “Its lower center of gravity makes it easy to move around the office, keeping us on track with our appointment schedule. The screen is responsive and easy to use, and the location of the cradle for the scanner is placed nicely in front of the cart making it easy to use and secure for transport. The Dandy Cart is the quickest and most secure cart and scanner setup we have used.”
Dandy Vision Scanner & Cart are included with the Dandy partnership at no additional cost* if practices meet the monthly lab minimum. Bukuras said clinicians get the system for free if they provide a minimum of $1,000 in cases each month.
Dandy partners with dental practices and DSOs to transform their business with state-of-the-art intraoral scanners, always-on expert guidance, and precision manufacturing accelerated by Generative AI, 3D printing, and other state-of-the-art technologies seamlessly orchestrated by Dandy’s proprietary software.
