  • Thank you for featuring Glidewell's Clear Aligners: Powered by ProMonitoring at the 2026 Hygiene Summit. We aim to produce the most advanced technology that clinicians and their teams can provide to improve patient hygiene health.

    ✨ Grateful. Inspired. Energized. ✨ This last month, I had the opportunity to help bring together our 2026 Hygiene Summit alongside our incredible Director of Dental Hygiene—and I couldn’t be more proud of what we created. From start to finish, this event was all about elevating our hygienists, creating connection, and investing in growth. Seeing so many passionate clinicians in one space, learning, collaborating, and pushing each other forward was truly powerful. A huge thank you to our special guest speakers, OVERJET and ProMonitoring, for sharing innovative insights and helping us explore the future of dental technology and patient care. Your expertise added so much value to the experience. Moments like this remind me why I love what I do—supporting providers, building meaningful experiences, and creating environments where people feel empowered to grow. Already looking forward to what we build next. 🚀 #DentalHygiene #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #DentalInnovation #Teamwork #Growth

  • Most dental labs make custom parts. At Glidewell, we make over 100,000 unique parts every week. That’s mass customization in practice. Every crown, every denture is different. No two restorations are alike. It’s a level of variation at scale that only works because of what we’ve built behind it, from a team of 150+ engineers to dedicated materials R&D and the ability to move quickly from design to deployment. Digital workflows and advanced equipment allow us to hold tight tolerances and reduce chairside adjustments. By the time a case reaches a clinician, it has already been validated for fit, function, and esthetics. The result is simple. 87% of cases are completed within 24 hours, with consistent outcomes driven by a system designed to deliver. Dentists tell us that speed, consistency, and reliability are the three things that matter most, and that’s what mass customization at scale allows us to deliver. When every case is different, consistency becomes the real innovation. Go deeper, learn how our customized systems and technologies can improve your dental workflow: https://lnkd.in/gB4CAj4q

  • Dental anxiety is nearly universal. In the latest episode of Lasting Impressions, Glidewell CEO Stephenie Goddard sits down with Dr. David Galler, one of dentistry's leading voices in the digital revolution. In his practice, everything is digital from the moment a patient walks in. Scans replace guesswork, patients review their results in real time, and the experience feels nothing like traditional dentistry. In the full episode, Dr. Galler shares his journey from a traditional dentist in Manhattan to one of the most influential leaders in Invisalign across North America, impacting over 100,000 cases each year. He dives into the mindset shift required to grow an industry, how he built a powerful community of dentists known as “Gallerites,” and why connection and humor matter just as much as clinical skill.

  • Experience isn’t optional—it’s the difference between confidence and compromise. The right lab adapts to your workflow, masters the technology and delivers consistent results with your preferred systems. Our specialized workforce, R&D department, proprietary AI and automation technologies are focused on the success of you and your patients.

  • Why is CAMouflage NOW quickly becoming a go-to material for more dentists? This hybrid material combines 80% ceramic and 20% resin, delivering both strength and adhesive flexibility with incredibly fast mill times. The result? Full-coverage restorations in under 10 minutes. In the latest Office Hours episode, Dr. Danielle Brown shares how she’s using CAMouflage NOW, from failed restorations and interproximal lesions to chipped teeth and Class IV cases. She breaks down when to use it, why it works, and where it offers real advantages. Fast, reliable, and easy to adjust chairside, it’s giving dentists more freedom to keep up with the pace of modern workflows. See the full episode for her full list of recommendations.
