The fast and accurate DEXIS IS 3800W unlocks new opportunities to engage, educate, and treat more patients
Not long ago, impressions were among dentistry’s most dreaded procedures. But the era of goopy trays and frustrating retakes is over, thanks to intraoral scanners. Now, the IS 3800W takes the freedom offered by digital scanning to even greater heights.
Easy to Use in Every Way
Since acquiring the wireless intraoral scanner last year, the IS 3800W has become a practice favorite in the Kihei, HI, practice of Dr. Jesse Hollander.
“Because this scanner is so easy to use, it’s seen more and more use since we first implemented it,” he shared. “Even though I have 3 other scanners, I use the IS 3800W multiple times a day, and it’s the one my assistants gravitate toward.”
Dr. Hollander and his staff appreciate the freedom and flexibility of working without cables, along with the IS 3800W’s super-fast scanning speeds and its sleek, lightweight design. But the “biggest benefit,” he said, comes from seamless integration with all the other digital technologies in his workflow.
“When I first got a CBCT unit, merging CT scans with intraoral scans was cumbersome,” explained Dr. Hollander. “But now, with the IS 3800W, ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH OP 3D, and DTX Studio Clinic imaging software, the technology does the work for you—my intra oral scans, CBCT images, x-rays, and photos are all stored in one location, and I can view, modify, or merge scans with a click.” This unified ecosystem simplifies collaboration with practice partners, while streamlining treatment planning for implants, removable dentures, occlusal guards, and more, saving Dr. Hollander and his team time every day. And now that DTX Studio Clinic offers integrated AI screening that supports up to 6 dental findings—caries, calculus, discrepancy at margin, periapical radiolucency, bone loss, and root canal filling deficiency—he said the already “impressive” DEXIS platform is “just getting better and better.”
A ‘Magic Wand’ for Patient Engagement
Beyond bringing “an incredible amount of accuracy and predictability” to his daily work, Dr. Hollander reports that the IS 3800W has been an invaluable tool for patient education. He likens the scanner to a “magic wand” that immediately engages patients and makes a compelling case for treatment.
Features like 2-button operation, gesture motion control, point-to-point Wi-Fi access, and a recharge-able battery with up to 1 hour of continuous scanning help eliminate interruptions, which means he and his staff can devote more time and attention to patients.
Overall, Dr. Hollander is “extremely satisfied” with the intraoral scanner. “In my practice, the IS 3800W is a workhorse,” he shared. “It’s reliable, easy to use, and ultimately makes dentistry more fun.”
