Dandy Launches The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover — A Breakthrough in Digital Aesthetic Dentistry

Some interesting info today from Dandy.  This definitely bears checking out... 

Dentistry’s first all-digital workflow delivers predictable, patient-approved results, while saving dentists’ valuable time

Dandy, the leading fully digital dental lab, has launched dentistry’s first end-to-end aesthetic digital workflow, “The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover”. The new offering enables dentists to deliver predictable aesthetic outcomes without the inefficiencies of traditional labs.  

Aesthetic cases, such as veneers and anterior crowns, can be high-pressure. Dentists need to ensure that patients are confident in the process and delighted with the outcome. Given their complexity, these cases require constant two-way communication and data transfer between the dentist and the lab. Today, no dental lab offers a streamlined workflow for aesthetic, multi-appointment cases, and much of this communication is done via email, phone or text messages, leading to disorganization, lost files, and unpredictable results. 

Dandy’s 3-Appointment Smile Makeover offers a novel solution to an industry-wide problem. It enables dentists to go from temporaries to final restorations in one connected, predictable workflow. Dentists can scan, order, and communicate with the lab, all within Dandy’s fully-integrated software. There’s no need to reference previous smile designs, scans, prescriptions, or shades, as all patient and case data is in one place. 

Dentists can also allow patients to test-drive their new smile with lab-designed provisionals and then perform a Temp-Reference Scan, capturing the approved temporaries with any adjustments that Dandy will use as the blueprint for the final design. This important feature ensures the final restoration fits, functions and looks exactly as the patient expected.

The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover has three simple steps:1. 

1. Consultation 

Order a Physical Wax-Up + Matrix for the next appointment.
Digitally modify and approve the wax-up design before production. 

2. Smile Test Drive

With the Matrix, temporize the patient using lab-designed, aesthetic provisionals.

Perform a Temp-Reference Scan with any chairside adjustments for a precise digital blueprint of the finals.

Approve the final design with Dandy’s seamless Design Preview.

3. Deliver the Perfect Final Restoration

Predictable fit, function, and aesthetics—no surprises.

Streamlined workflow eliminates errors and unnecessary lab back-and-forth.

Give patients the confidence of a truly life-changing smile.

The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover is just the latest innovation from Dandy, which is committed to delivering exceptional quality dental lab services and practice experiences at affordable prices, through digitization.

“For too long, dentists have had to deal with inefficient lab workflows, constant design revisions, and unpredictable results,” said Ben Licht, Anterior Crown and Bridge Product Owner at Dandy. “The 3-Appointment Smile Makeover changes everything. Now, every dentist can confidently deliver life-changing aesthetics with a simple, fully digital workflow—without the frustration of endless lab back-and-forth. This is the future of cosmetic dentistry.”

“This workflow provides such a huge level of ease and predictability that any dentist can now deliver stunning anterior cosmetic dentistry,” said Dr. David Sherberg of Bayway Dental in St. Petersburg, Florida. “Amazingly, it’s all embedded in the Chairside software we already know and use.”
