As the largest full-service dental lab in the world, Glidewell has established itself as one of the best equipped providers of everything dentists need to deliver high-quality, efficient and cost-effective patient care. Thanks to their continual innovations on materials and manufacturing methods, Glidewell is highly effective in streamlining costs and workflows for U.S. manufacturing and production — which are essential for DSOs requiring large volumes of dental products.
There are several key areas of dentistry where Glidewell is offering unrivaled restorative opportunities for DSOs, but the most impactful are through their special DSO offerings with BruxZir™ Express, implant savings, Clear Aligners and free continuing education programs. Keeping restorative and education costs low lets businesses in a DSO setting continue to grow, while helping to expand accessibility for patients to great dental care.
BruxZir™ Express
BruxZir Express is Glidewell’s exclusive digital-only lab for DSOs. The same as Glidewell but located in Memphis, Tennessee, this lab provides not only lower costs, but white glove service on every case with streamlined, AI-backed manufacturing, account management, and personalized care. BruxZir Express users also benefit from Glidewell Intelligent Manufacturing, a process where advanced computer algorithms are used to create virtual study models that are sent to a computer-enhanced robotic milling and quality control center for the most accurate fabrications.
Products that DSOs can get fabricated from BruxZir Express include BruxZir® Zirconia crowns & bridges, as well as popular offerings from Glidewell’s line of occlusal appliances. These products are available exclusively to DSOs at special, low-price rates — and feature fast turnaround times of just 3 days in lab with options for free shipping in the contiguous U.S. Glidewell is also pleased to process all remakes at no additional cost for clinicians who aren’t satisfied with their fabrications under our 100% no-fault remake policy.
BruxZir Express is a digital-only lab that accepts scans from virtually all intraoral scanning systems. Commonly used scanners include: CEREC®, iTERO ELEMENT®, TRIOS®, FASTSCAN.IO™/MEDIT®, HERON IOS, and CS3600. With these brands, digital impressions can be uploaded through their proprietary software. All digital scans taken through other scanners can be uploaded via Glidewell’s My Account portal.
DSOs that use Glidewell Express can also take advantage of Glidewell’s wealth of offerings on Glidewell Direct. BruxZir™ Dual Cure Resin Cement is one such product that compliments BruxZir Zirconia restorations with its specially formulated bonding capabilities that ensure optimal retention and long-term performance. Designed with simplicity in mind, BruxZir cement is easy to handle, flows well in the syringe, and holds restorations in place without drifting.
DSO Implant Program — Best Price Guaranteed
The Glidewell HT™ Implant System is the dental lab’s proprietary line of implants that simplifies surgery with a streamlined surgical protocol with over 4 million implants placed. Made in the USA at their manufacturing facilities in Irvine, California, from high-strength titanium alloy, Glidewell HT boasts a 99.2% success rate with excellent primary stability. DSO partners of Glidewell are now able to take advantage of the company’s best guaranteed pricing on Glidewell HT Implants with the DSO implant program.
In support of this program, clinicians also have access to additional savings with Glidewell’s Inclusive® Prosthetic Components. This line of prosthetic components includes a wide array of esthetic and multi-unit titanium abutments, along with analogs, screws, digital and conventional transfer copings, and more. Thanks to advancements in manufacturing precision, Inclusive has clearance for prosthetic connections that are compatible with more than 90% of the industry’s leading implant manufacturers — giving users of other systems access to the same low, flat-rate lab fees available for Glidewell HT users.
Clear Aligner Treatment
Glidewell™ Clear Aligners: Powered by ProMonitoring™ is another essential service for practice growth that DSO partners can take advantage of. Designed to be easy-to-embrace for practices of all levels of experience with clear aligner treatment, this service offers a number of advantages that make it an attractive option for clinicians in a DSO setting — including eliminating three to five non-revenue appointments, minimizing attachments and IPRs, and exclusive pricing.
A powerful benefit of Glidewell Clear Aligners is how its 100% digital workflow and ProMonitoring Portal eliminate up to 89% of office visits. Dentists can see patients in as few as two visits since they can monitor progress through the portal virtually, which frees up chair time for more revenue-generating appointments. With 1:1 support from U.S. based orthodontists, quality aligners and weekly scans from patients, 98% of cases are finished with one or fewer refinements.
Free Continuing Education Opportunities
To help bolster the restorative capabilities of dentists around the country, Glidewell also offers a full range of continuing education (CE) opportunities. For DSO partners of Glidewell, live courses (up to $1,395 value) are free of charge to help doctors stay ahead with the latest clinical techniques and business strategies for success in dentistry. These multiday events cover the most important areas in dentistry, including foundational skills in esthetic restorations, implant surgery, digital dentistry and more.
As the landscape of dentistry continues to evolve, it’s essential for DSOs to be prepared with the right advantages. Along with financial savings, DSOs partnered with Glidewell also benefit from a 100% no-fault remake policy and the strongest warranties in dentistry with protection from implant, to crown, to removable appliances. Backed by more than 50 years of restorative experience and best-in-class service from a dedicated DSO support team, Glidewell makes DSO partnership simple.
Glidewell will host a free DSO Summit at their Clinical Education Center in Irvine, California. Expert speakers will address topics crucial for DSO success, including advancements in restorative dentistry, production enhancement through patient services and practice digitization strategies. DSO leadership will gain valuable insights into the future of digital workflows, lab restorations and partnership opportunities. The summit will also focus on developing clinical skills to improve recruitment and retention, and increasing technology adoption. Participants will receive a complimentary two-night hotel stay while learning to optimize workflows and patient care across multiple locations.
