Product Spotlight: fastsmile.io™ 3D Facial Scanner

The fastsmile.io^™ 3D Facial Scanner is a cutting-edge addi­tion to the glidewell.io^™ In-Office Solution that unlocks new possibili­ties in digital treatment planning. Designed for rapid and precise 3D facial capture, the fastsmile.io scan­ner provides clinicians with an efficient method for gathering patients’ esthetic and anatomical data to complement intraoral scans, enabling a more comprehensive digital work­flow for same-day restorations, smile design, and implant planning.

The fastsmile.io scanner captures a full-face 3D image in seconds, offering accurate spatial orientation of the teeth, lips, and facial structures in natural repose. Soon, users will be able to merge this data with digital impressions from the glidewell.io system to design restorative solutions that align with facial harmony and patient expectations — streamlin­ing both diagnostic and presentation phases of treatment.

Integration with Glidewell’s cloud-based platform allows the combined datasets to be submitted directly to the lab for col­laborative case planning. Whether for veneers, crowns, or full-arch restorations, the scanner enhances the ability to preview final esthetics before initiat­ing treatment. Dentists can simulate outcomes, gain patient approval, and confidently execute chair­side workflows that meet both functional and cos­metic goals.

“The fastsmile.io scanner brings a new level of precision and predictability to esthetic treatment planning,” said Dr. Neil Park, vice president of clinical affairs at Glidewell. “It empowers clinicians to plan restorations in harmony with the entire face — not just the teeth — and to deliver out­comes patients can visualize and trust from the very first appointment.”

The compact design makes the scanner easy to integrate into daily practice without disrupting chairside efficiency. It complements the glidewell.io mill, scanner, and software suite for a unified digital experience.
