The DEXIS Imprevo is the flagship product in the DEXIS scanning range, combining high-precision intraoral scanning with advanced imaging features in a single integrated system. It is designed for practices that require the highest level of clinical accuracy and the deepest integration with their digital laboratory and restorative workflows.
Advanced imaging capabilities extend the scanner’s functionality beyond standard digital impressions, providing additional diagnostic and planning data that supports more predictable treatment outcomes. This makes the Imprevo particularly well suited to complex restorative cases, full-arch rehabilitations, and cases requiring detailed treatment planning.
Full-arch and implant scanning are both supported, with open STL file output ensuring compatibility with a wide range of CAD/CAM platforms and laboratory partners. The Imprevo is designed to integrate seamlessly into digital laboratory workflows, reducing the need for manual steps and improving turnaround times.
Laboratory workflow integration is included as a key feature, allowing practices to communicate case requirements digitally and track progress through the production process. Training, onboarding, and workflow integration support are included as part of the MediMatch Scanner Loan Programme, alongside annual remote support.
Best for: Complex restorative cases, full digital laboratory workflows, implant dentistry, and practices requiring advanced imaging alongside intraoral scanning.
