Innovative Technology for Same-Day Dentistry

Read below as Dr. Eric Seidel, a lifelong learner and enthusiast of bringing state-of-the-art technology into the Gettysburg Dental Associates practice, is featured in Dental Product Shopper’s Readers’ Choice Awards article about the glidewell.io In-Office Solution, titled “Same-Day Dentistry for All.”

Same-Day Dentistry for All

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 to 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 key reasons why Dr. Seidel held out for the fastmill.io—a small yet powerful 4-axis, computer-controlled chairside unit—was the ability to mill a wide range of materials. “The fastmill.io allows us to mill zirconia, ceramic, and everything in between,” he said. “We’re able to treat very complex, subgingival areas that we would never have been able to tackle without this system. 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 BioTemps NOW—an affordable PMMA material that mills temporary full-coverage crowns or bridges in just 10 minutes. 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.”
