Dandy, a fully digital dental lab based in New York City, has announced the launch of the Dandy Vision intraoral scanner. According to the company, the device is designed to improve scanning speed, precision, and clarity through AI-powered analysis and advanced optics.
Daniel Hanover, Dandy cofounder, said, “We poured everything we learned from more than 11 million restorations into the Dandy Vision Scanner. It’s the first intraoral scanner that truly delivers on the promise of digital dentistry. With its unrivaled speed and proven precision, Dandy Vision gives dentists the confidence to focus on what matters most: leading with technology, elevating patient outcomes and growing a practice that sets the standard in care.”
According to the company, Dandy Vision operates within its digital ecosystem, linking intraoral scans with lab products, real-time case tracking, and live clinical support. The scanner is trained on data from more than 11.5 million scans and is designed to assist clinicians in achieving restorative accuracy through AI-driven guidance and instant scan analysis.
The company stated that Dandy Vision scans approximately 24.9 percent faster than other scanners on the market. It features a wide field of view, deep depth of field, and AI-powered issue detection that provides real-time feedback and crown preparation analysis during scanning. The scanner integrates with Dandy’s Chairside software, enabling practices to launch live scan reviews in under 60 seconds, receive 3D digital design previews within 24 hours, and connect with lab technicians for case-specific support.
Clinicians who use the technology offered their input on the new system. “There are times where my other intraoral scanner feels jittery or choppy. Dandy Vision feels like it’s painting,” said Dr. Mark Wilk, DDS, dentist at Tudor City Dental. “It scans faster, the resolution is better, and it picks up more detail,” said Dr. Hollie Ellis, DDS, MPH, at Dentist Sykesville MD. “I’m not spending nearly as much time scanning. I’m cutting crown appointments by 15 to 20 minutes, from 1.5 hours to about 45 minutes.”
Dandy also introduced the DandyCart, an all-in-one workstation designed to complement the Dandy Vision scanner. According to the company, the workstation features a large HD touchscreen that allows dentists to zoom, rotate, and review scans in real time. The DandyCart’s computing capabilities support high-resolution image rendering, and its compact design is intended to fit efficiently in dental operatories.
Dandy Vision and Dandy’s Chairside software are available at no additional cost with a monthly lab minimum, and the DandyCart is expected to be available by early 2026.
