The glidewell.io In-Office Solution gives dentists a powerful, connected suite of CAD/CAM tools that satisfy the demands of everyday clinical routines. Bringing together the expertise of Align Technology and Glidewell Dental, the system centers on usability for the dental practitioner and being easy to learn, while also being economically viable and supported by experienced laboratory technicians.

The glidewell.io system includes the iTero Element intraoral scanner from Align Technology, Inc., fastdesign.io Software, and fastmill.io In-Office Unit from Glidewell Dental. Dentists can scan, design, and mill single-visit restorations using BruxZir NOW, a full-contour fully sintered zirconia, or they can send cases to the lab through a single easy-to-use interface. They also gain access to the extensive digital support resources of Glidewell Laboratories, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to ensure quick and accurate design proposals.

“[The glidewell.io Solution] meets the needs of the majority of dentists who are looking to get into CAD/CAM in their office. It allows the dentist the ability to choose whether they’re going to fabricate the restoration in-house or send it to the laboratory, and that’s a beautiful decision to have at your disposal,” said Chad Duplantis, DDS, of Fort Worth, TX.
