Dandy, a digital dental laboratory, has announced the release of the Dandy Cart, a chairside workstation with an integrated touchscreen designed to be used in combination with the Dandy Vision intraoral scanner. The workstation is aimed at consolidating scanning, visualization, and scan review into a single mobile setup at chairside.
“For too long, advanced chairside technology has come with massive price tags and fragmented setups,” said Daniel Hanover, co-founder of Dandy. “By bringing scanning, visualization, and AI-powered review directly to the patient, we’re helping clinicians build trust faster, stay on schedule, and deliver restorations that fit right the first time.”
Calling the Dandy Vision Scanner & Cart “a $40K value,” the company says it has been designed with chairside workflows in mind. The Dandy Cart features a 21.5-inch touchscreen display with an adjustable tilt, allowing clinicians to review intraoral scans and proposed treatment visuals with patients while seated. The system is made to move easily between operatories, with the goal of supporting efficient room turnover and appointment flow.
The workstation includes onboard computing power to render scans and 3D models in real-time. Dandy notes that the cart is intended to reduce interruptions associated with setup, scanning delays, and follow-up rescans.
When paired with the Dandy Vision scanner, the cart supports both automated scan reviews and live reviews with Dandy technicians. These reviews are intended to identify scan issues earlier in the workflow, potentially reducing remakes and additional patient visits related to rescanning.
Clinical feedback cited by the company highlights mobility and ergonomics. “The Dandy cart has been instrumental in our practice,” says Patrick Sarager, DDS, of Liberty Family Dental in Rockdale, Texas. “Its lower center of gravity makes it easy to move around the office, keeping us on track with our appointment schedule. The screen is responsive and easy to use, and the location of the cradle for the scanner is placed nicely in front of the cart making it easy to use and secure for transport. The Dandy Cart is the quickest and most secure cart and scanner setup we have used.”
The Dandy Vision Scanner & Cart are provided as part of the Dandy lab partnership, contingent on meeting monthly laboratory usage requirements.
