๐ Sound Familiar? Common Dentist Pain Points
Dentists using 3DISC scanners often face situations like:
• "My OVO3 won't connect to the software, and I have patients booked all day." • "The Heron IOS scans look blurry, and my lab is complaining about the STL files." • "My OVO (Gen 1) overheats and shuts off mid-scan. I lost 3 appointments this week." • "The manufacturer wants 4–6 weeks and $1,500+ just for a diagnostic. That's not acceptable." • "I don't want to buy a new scanner; I just want this one fixed properly and quickly." |

What Dentists Say About Us
"Our OVO scanner was producing distorted scans during crown prep. Repair. Dental diagnosed it as a calibration drift, fixed it, and had it back within 48 hours. Scan quality is perfect now."— Dr. Sarah M., General Dentist, Toronto |
"I thought my Heron IOS was done for. Repair.Dental fixed the USB port and recalibrated everything. Saved me over $3,000 on a replacement. Highly recommend."— Dr. James K., Restorative Dentist, San Diego |
Why Choose Repair.Dental?
There are three main options when your 3DISC scanner breaks down: take it to a local shop, send it back to the manufacturer, or choose Repair.Dental. Here's the honest comparison:

Manufacturer service has its place, but for most clinics, a 2–6 week wait with unpredictable costs is simply not practical. Local shops often lack the dental-specific knowledge to properly calibrate 3DISC optics. Repair.Dental gives you the best of both worlds: expert repair at fair prices, done fast.

Dentist Guide
An intraoral scanner (IOS) is one of the highest-value tools in your practice. A well-maintained scanner produces accurate STL files, reduces chairside time, and improves patient communication. But they are also complex optical-electronic instruments, and they need proper care.
Key maintenance habits for any IOS:
• Clean the tip after every patient with an approved disinfectant; never use alcohol-based sprays directly on the lens.
• Do not exceed the recommended number of autoclave cycles for scanner tips (3DISC tips are rated for 250 cycles).
• Store the scanner in its cradle or case. Never leave it loose on a counter where it can fall.
• Run calibration checks at least once per week, or any time scan quality seems to have changed.
• Update firmware when prompted, but follow the manufacturer's process carefully to avoid failed updates.
• Don't ignore minor issues. A small calibration drift becomes a big accuracy problem over time.
