How Our Free iTero Scanner Program Works
Step 1: 5-Case Pilot Program
The program begins with a 5-case pilot phase to evaluate clinical compatibility, communication, and workflow alignment. Cases should include a range of restorative types to ensure a meaningful assessment of fit. This step allows both the Practice and The Art of Aesthetics to confirm that expectations, quality standards, and workflows are aligned. Unlike typical free iTero scanner programs, placement is not based on volume alone. Advancement to the next step requires mutual agreement, ensuring a stable and predictable long-term partnership built on consistent results and clear communication.
Step 2: Qualification and Production Requirements
Following the pilot program, the Practice is evaluated based on consistency, case quality, and communication. To qualify, the Practice must demonstrate or reasonably project a minimum monthly production of $2,750 in laboratory fees or 30 cases, whichever is greater. This ensures that the iTero digital workflow is used consistently and effectively. The goal is not just volume, but predictable utilization and long-term alignment. Approval into the iTero Preferred Partner Program is based on both clinical and operational fit, not solely on production numbers.
Step 3: iTero Lumina Scanner Placement
Once approved, the iTero Lumina intraoral scanner is placed in the Practice with full onboarding and training support. The scanner is integrated into the Practice’s digital workflow for efficient case submission and improved communication with the laboratory. Digital impressions reduce errors associated with traditional methods and improve accuracy and turnaround time. During the initial term, the scanner remains the property of The Art of Aesthetics. This structure ensures proper use, accountability, and consistent case flow while supporting the transition to digital dentistry.
Step 4: Ongoing Partnership and Monthly Commitment
During the program term, the Practice maintains a minimum monthly production of $2,750 or 30 cases, whichever is greater. Payments and production are managed through a structured system to ensure consistency and transparency. This phase focuses on long-term collaboration, not short-term volume. Ongoing communication, feedback, and case review help maintain clinical quality and reduce remakes. The partnership is designed to support predictable outcomes, efficient workflow, and continuous improvement in restorative and cosmetic dentistry cases.
Step 5: End of Term and Scanner Ownership
At the end of the initial 36-month term, the scanner will be deactivated and returned unless the Practice elects to continue the program. Practices that maintain a minimum of $2,750 per month in laboratory fees for an additional 24 months may retain the scanner, after which ownership transfers to the Practice. This structure ensures that the technology is supported by consistent use and long-term commitment.
