Take digital impressions and order the restoration online, quickly and easily via the global Sirona Connect portal. Sirona Connect is the first innovative system for digital cooperation between dentists and dental labs. The rapidly growing number of users is creating a true boom in orders – this year Sirona anticipates a 60-percent increase in orders around the world.
Sirona Connect allows dentists and dental technicians to connect in a very modern way – they can exchange data conveniently and securely via the portal. The portal interface is integrated into the dentist's and technician's software, regardless of which software version is being used by either party, thus greatly facilitating workflow.
More and more dentists and dental technicians are using this service. "This year, we anticipate 60 percent more orders than last year via the portal all around the world," says Ronny Kucharczyk, product manager Digital Impressions. "This corresponds to around 100,000 restorations." He partly attributes this growth to cerec users who use laboratory services for certain indications or materials. "These are dentists who cannot or do not want to make certain restorations themselves for various reasons." And there is also a growing number of users of purely digital impression systems such as Appollo DI or cerec AC Connect with Omnicam who order their restorations via the portal. "The high demand reflects practice routine," explains Kucharczyk.
Sirona Connect users come mainly from Europe and the US. But the number of orders from countries such as China, Korea, and Brazil is increasing as well. The main reason for this is that taking digital impressions is becoming more common in practices, especially in these countries. Thus the Sirona Connect portal is now available in the language of each respective country. Dentists and dental technicians can now communicate via the portal provided by Sirona, the global market and technology leader in the dental industry, in a total of eight languages. In addition to German and English, the available languages include French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Portuguese.
