Dentbird Upgrades have Taken Place

 


The digital design platform Dentbird has performed some upgrades and i wanted to be sure and tell you about it.  I can still remember the first time I heard about this system.  It was probably in 2023 or so and even way back then (in tech terms) I was impressed.

Dentbird is a pretty amazing way to digitally design crowns for 3D printers or in-office mills.  All you need to do is create an account, upload the scan file, and let Dentbird do the rest.  The system will locate the prepped tooth automatically, then it will find the margin automatically, and then use AI to propose a crown design.  Everything can be edited and changed which means that doctor has the final say.  The system is fast, easy, and has a short learning curve.

One of the upgrades they've just announced is that they will provide 3 FREE designs.  Simply set up an account. and you have access to the cloud based design system.  This will allow you to design, download, and create a crown to see for yourself.

If youi'd like to know more about Dentbird, I interviewed Hakwan Kim for Episode 55 on the Technology Evangelist Podcast.  Here is the info from Dentbird:

On September 28, 2026 we updated the Dentbird plans. The Free plan now covers more than it used to.

What Free includes now

  • 3 exports every month, counted per tooth, no credit card required
  • All solutions unlocked, including Batch and Modeler, and indications such as bridges
  • Model files and NC (milling) files, which don't count toward your monthly limit
  • A three-unit bridge uses all 3. Your count resets every month on the day your account was created, and unused exports don't carry over.

The design engine is faster too

Dentbird runs on a new design engine, so a case takes less time from scan data to finished design.
