Dr. Rey Gonzalez has been practicing dentistry for nearly four decades. Based in Miami, he runs Regency Square Dental, a family practice with six doctors, including his wife, son, and daughter-in-law. Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Gonzalez leads an Implant Educators Academy and organizes mission trips to the Dominican Republic each year. With such a full plate, he was always on the lookout for technology that could simplify his workflow and elevate patient care.
“There are always new innovations that can help us improve our craft and deliver better care,” says Dr. Gonzalez. “And we consider it our responsibility to stay on the cutting edge and be aware of everything that’s out there.”
The Challenge: Finding the next piece of transformative technology while juggling it all
Managing complex full-arch implant cases requires precision and efficiency. Dr. Gonzalez wanted a solution that could streamline his process—from diagnostics to same-day delivery—while maintaining the highest standards of care. He needed a tool that could keep up with his busy practice and his passion for teaching and mission work.
The Solution: DEXIS Imprevo Intraoral Scanner
Dr. Gonzalez upgraded to Imprevo and the impact was immediate. The scanner’s ergonomic design and advanced software features transformed his workflow. “It’s my go-to scanner,” he says. “Every new patient gets scanned, and for full-arch cases, it’s an absolute necessity. It allows me to prepare patients before surgery and deliver a set of teeth the same day.”
The software that powers the scanner, IS ScanFlow, allowed for flexibility that was a game-changer. Within IS ScanFlow, Dr. Gonzalez can pivot mid-case, merge intraoral scans with impression scans, and achieve the best of both worlds—all within one streamlined platform. This software not only saves time but also enhances accuracy, making complex cases more predictable.
Impact Beyond the Practice
The benefits of Imprevo extend far beyond Florida. On his most recent mission trip to the Dominican Republic, Dr. Gonzalez scanned 46 patients—78 arches in total—using Imprevo and IS ScanFlow. Within days, his team 3D-printed and delivered complete dentures to patients who had been without teeth for years. “Because of the technology, we were able to give them smiles they hadn’t had in so long,” he recalls. “It’s incredibly rewarding.”
For Dr. Gonzalez, dentistry isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling. “If I could win the lottery and do this for free, I would,” he says. Technology advancements such as Imprevo make practicing dentistry even more fulfilling. New technology empowers dentists to deliver life-changing results efficiently, whether in a state-of-the-art clinic or a remote mission setting. In the end, it’s about more than teeth—it’s about restoring confidence, dignity, and joy.
