Digital Dentistry Guide: Keeping Your Acquisition System Running at Peak Performance
Preventive care isn't just for patients. The Dental Wings and Virtuo Vivo acquisition systems that power your digital workflows deserve regular attention, too. Here's what experienced CAD/CAM practices do to minimize downtime and keep their imaging workflows running smoothly.
1. Know the Warning Signs Before a Failure Happens
Most workstation failures don't happen out of nowhere. Watch for:
• Intermittent scanner communication errors that resolve on their own
• Touchscreen that occasionally lags or requires multiple taps
• Longer-than-usual startup times
• Scan sessions that freeze briefly before resuming
• Unexpected workflow disconnections between the scanner and workstation
If any of these are becoming regular occurrences, schedule a diagnostic before it becomes an emergency.
2. Preventive Maintenance Reduces Unexpected Failures
Scheduled maintenance visits, even once or twice a year, can catch developing issues before they cause downtime. This includes checking internal connections, verifying imaging calibration, testing scanner communication pathways, and reviewing software environment stability.
For practices that rely heavily on digital impressions, the cost of a preventive maintenance visit is almost always less than the cost of emergency repair plus lost productivity.
3. Workflow Calibration Matters More Than You Think
Calibration drift is a real issue in high-use digital impression systems. Over time, even slight changes in calibration can affect scan accuracy, add to acquisition time, and cause scan retakes that slow down patient throughput. Regular calibration checks keep your workflow consistent and your scan quality predictable.
4. How to Minimize Downtime When Something Does Break
Even well-maintained systems occasionally need repair. When that happens, these steps reduce the impact:
• Document the specific symptoms before shipping the unit; this speeds up diagnosis
• Contact Repair.Dental immediately for remote diagnostics before assuming hardware failure
• Use a backup workflow if available to maintain partial patient throughput
• Schedule non-digital cases first to protect your most time-sensitive patient appointments
5. When to Call for Emergency Support
Call us immediately if:
• Your system fails to communicate with the scanner handpiece entirely
• The workstation won't boot or stays at a startup error screen
• Touchscreen is completely unresponsive, and patient appointments are affected
• A repair has been attempted by another party, and has made the issue worse
