How do you see exocad’s role in shaping the future of digital dentistry?
exocad is a game changer for laboratories and dentists. Implementation of exocad’s software solutions can really drive opportunities for our customers, not only on the clinical side, but also on the laboratory side. We are committed to enhancing learning opportunities; exocad recently moved into our new office space in Wakefield, Massachusetts, and we’re building out a brand-new education “excellence Center.” Our goal is to support our reseller network to implement our vision and support our customers across North America.
What are the latest updates from exocad, and what is the company’s vision for the future of dentistry?
We have launched an early access program for AI Design, where labs can generate AI crowns from within the software. It takes approximately two minutes to create a design and is a great tool to speed up the work in the lab. This functions completely within your pre-established exocad workflow. You are in the driver’s seat and maintain creative control. Our second new AI service offering is TruSmile Photo and TruSmile Video, which are photo-realistic in-face visualizations that provide a very emotional experience for patients. They can accurately visualize their expected appearance post-treatment. These are two major highlights, both launched as early access programs and currently available in the US and the EU.
