an Open-Technology Digital Dental Solution for Dental Clinics

Today, Imagine USA announced the immediate availability of Imagine OPEN™ Go Digital Mill™, a digital dental solution that provides dental clinics with a proven digital workflow from intraoral scanning through in-house milled restorations. This system includes the hardware, software, and training needed to get started immediately. Go Digital Mill™ gives doctors the ability to design and produce same-day crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, provisionals, and custom abutments — all in-house, to reduce wait times, ordering, shipping, and other delays associated with outsourcing. These time savings can be passed along to patients through expedited, and in many cases, same-day completion of treatment.

Felix Chung, CEO at Imagine USA said, “Imagine OPEN™ Go Digital Mill™ is designed for general and comprehensive dentists who aren’t yet benefitting from the open digital workflow or doctors who are but want to take it to the next level. It provides them with reliable and proven open CAD/CAM system that we have tested, perfected, and can quickly train them to use proficiently. Because our solution is based on all “open” technology the CAD/CAM files can be used by anyone with an open digital system, which gives doctors tremendous flexibility to produce restorations and appliances in-clinic if they choose, send cases out to labs when they prefer — or do both.”

Go Digital Mill™ is stand-alone system that is part of Imagine OPEN™, an ecosystem that gives clinics the flexibility to integrate their existing open-technology or any open-technology that they may acquire in the future. Other Imagine OPEN™ packages like Go Digital Print™ allow for in-house printing of impression trays, models, night guards, crowns, bridges, shell temporaries, and surgical guides.

Brent Harvey, Chief Business Officer at Imagine explains, “Most dentists know that the era of digital dentistry is upon us and are ready to add intraoral scanning to their capabilities. But the idea of designing or even producing restorations in-house can seem daunting. As digital dental experts, we partner with these doctors and their staff to train them and implement a digital workflow that is optimized for them. We make sure that they start benefiting from digital dental technology as soon as Imagine OPEN™ is installed in their clinic.”

The Foundation of Imagine OPEN™

While Imagine OPEN™ is a completely scalable solution, iTero scanning technology is at the heart of all Imagine OPEN™ packages. Being a product of Align Technology, the makers of Invisalign, iTech intraoral scanning technology gives doctors with Imagine OPEN™ the unique ability to offer premium orthodontic aligners to their patients. iTero intraoral scanners are designed to deliver speed, reliability, intuitive operations, and outstanding visualization capabilities for general practitioners. iTero scans have been used in more than 7.5 million restorative crowns, bridges, and custom implant abutment cases.

Plus, iTero intraoral scans can be easily imported to exocad Chairside CAD software which sets a new standard for flexibility and productivity specifically for the dentist and clinical professional. With this pairing, a full range of restorative indications and materials can be used, and restorations are designed within an intuitive user interface and then manufactured from connected 3D printing and milling systems, or sent to an external production center.
