Common Issues We Fix
Scanner problems rarely announce themselves at a convenient time. More often than not, something goes wrong right before a full patient schedule or worse, during an active case. Here are the most common issues we diagnose and resolve:
• Scanner freezing or crashing during scan capture
• Communication errors between scanner and acquisition unit
• Touchscreen failure or unresponsive touchscreen operation
• Camera calibration issues are causing blurry or distorted images
• Connectivity failure : USB, network, or wireless communication breakdown
• Acquisition unit startup failures or boot loop errors
• Image distortion affecting digital impression accuracy
• Power issues causing unexpected shutdowns
• Scan capture interruption mid-workflow
• Scanner not recognized by the acquisition center
Restoring Accurate Digital Scanning Performance
Intraoral scanning accuracy isn't just a technical spec; it directly impacts the quality of your restorations, the confidence your patients have in your work, and the efficiency of your entire CAD/CAM workflow.
When an acquisition unit begins producing degraded images, distorted scans, or inconsistent captures, it doesn't just slow you down. It puts your clinical outcomes at risk. That's why our repair process is always focused on full imaging performance restoration, not just getting the system to power on.
We test every repaired system against real-world scanning performance standards, verifying imaging accuracy, scan consistency, and workflow stability before returning your equipment. Our goal isn't just to fix the symptom; it's to restore your system to the reliable, high-accuracy performance your practice depends on
Scanner Calibration and Acquisition Unit Troubleshooting
Calibration is one of the most overlooked aspects of intraoral scanner maintenance and one of the biggest drivers of scanning inconsistency. When your camera calibration drifts, even slightly, it can produce scans that look acceptable but introduce subtle inaccuracies that compound over time.
Our technicians perform thorough camera calibration checks and corrections as part of every repair workflow. We also conduct full acquisition unit diagnostics, identifying issues at the hardware and communication level that standard user-facing diagnostics often miss.
If your practice has been experiencing unexplained scan failures, marginal fit issues, or workflow hiccups you can't trace to a specific cause, poor calibration or undetected acquisition unit performance degradation may be the culprit. Let us take a closer look.

Digital Dentistry Guide, Keeping Your Scanner Running at Peak Performance
Scanners and acquisition units are sophisticated systems. A little proactive care goes a long way toward preventing costly failures. Here's what we recommend based on years of working with dental practices worldwide:
How to Reduce Scanner Downtime
The most effective way to reduce downtime is to address small performance changes before they become full failures. If your scanner is slower to connect, producing more errors than usual, or requiring frequent restarts, don't wait; those are early warning signs.
Preventive Maintenance Tips
• Keep software and firmware updated per Dentsply Sirona guidelines
• Regularly inspect cable connections and communication ports for wear
• Clean scanner tips and camera windows according to manufacturer recommendations
• Schedule periodic acquisition unit diagnostics , don't wait for failure
• Verify scan accuracy regularly with known reference scans
Warning Signs Before Scanner Failure
• Increased scan capture errors or failed captures
• Unusually slow scanner performance or longer processing times
• Intermittent connection drops between scanner and acquisition unit
• Touchscreen is becoming less responsive over time
• Unexpected software crashes or acquisition unit restarts
How Calibration Improves Scan Accuracy
Camera calibration ensures your scanner captures the geometry of teeth, margins, and occlusal surfaces accurately. When calibration drifts, which it naturally does over time with heavy use, scan accuracy degrades gradually, often before you notice a visual difference. Regular calibration checks keep your digital impressions tight and your restorations fitting right the first time.
How to Improve Digital Workflow Consistency
Workflow consistency starts with equipment reliability. When your acquisition unit is performing well and your scanner is properly calibrated, the rest of your CAD/CAM workflow benefits. Invest in preventive maintenance, respond quickly to early warning signs, and partner with a repair provider who understands the full digital dentistry workflow, not just the hardware.
