,DPS readers enjoy making the digital workflow seamless with the glidewell.io In-Office Solution, ,
For most practices, “diving” into digital dentistry is less of a dive and more of a domino effect where one technology opens the door to another. At least that was the case for Eric Seidel, DMD, who invested in a digital intraoral scanner a few years ago and was amazed by the possibilities it brought the practice. “We found so many more uses for the scanner than we ever imagined, and that snowballed into getting the glidewell.io In-Office Solution. Now, we have 3 fastmill.io In-Office Mills, and I really can’t imagine working without them.”, ,One of the first doctors to adopt the glidewell.io In-Office Solution when it launched in 2018, Dr. Seidel loves that the small yet powerful chairside unit can mill a wide range of materials. “The fastmill.io allows us to mill zirconia, ceramic, and everything in between,” he said. “Paired with a laser, we’re able to restore very complex, subgingival areas that we would never have been able to tackle previously. With the fastdesign.io Software and Design Station, we can instantly see margins, make corrections as needed, adjust contacts, and have full flexibility on the fly, which is huge.”, ,Originally developed for the laboratory production floor, the fastmill.io allows Dr. Seidel’s Gettysburg, PA, office to mill single crowns, bridges, and veneers, as well as leverage BruxZir NOW, a fully-sintered zirconia material that does not require any oven time—just polish, cement, and you’re done. If needed, he has immediate access to glidewell.io support via text, chat, email, or phone, as well as real-time remote design assistance from skilled support technicians., ,A Win-Win System, ,While it’s true that no patient likes impressions or broken temporaries, Dr. Seidel shared that the reason for doing same-day dentistry goes beyond that. “Having this system vastly increases the amount of work we do because it’s so convenient for the patient, and if you make treatment easy and convenient, more people will do it and be healthier as a result. It’s a win-win.”, ,One drawback? “You can’t blame it on the lab anymore,” he said. “Because of that, you can very quickly improve your own preparations and techniques because you hold yourself accountable instantly. I would absolutely recommend the glidewell.io In-Office Solution to anyone. It will change the way you practice.”, ,
