While the latest technology can transform your practice, the cost can be a significant barrier for many dentists. Thankfully, there are cost-effective options available that balance affordability with performance. Whether you just need to increase your scanning outputs by adding a second, third, or fourth dental scanner, or just getting your feet wet with scanning, saving money upfront may be helpful for the new year.
In this article, we’ll explore cost-effective intraoral scanners that still represent excellent options for practices looking to save money without compromising quality.
Carestream/DEXIS CS 3700: The Best Value Intraoral Scanner
The Carestream Dental CS 3700 intraoral scanner offers a standout option for practices seeking cost-effective solutions. At just $6,995 with a laptop when you buy from Renew Digital, it provides cutting-edge features with significant savings compared to many competitors.
Why the CS 3700 Stands Out
- Affordable Pricing: At $6,995, the CS 3700 is one of the most affordable intraoral scanners on the market.
- No Monthly Fees: Unlike many scanners that require ongoing software subscriptions, the CS 3700 includes software with no recurring monthly fees. This eliminates a common pain point for practices looking to manage costs.
- Two-Year Warranty: The scanner comes with a two-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind and minimizing additional maintenance costs.
- Advanced Technology: The CS 3700 offers precise scanning capabilities, with high-resolution imaging, an intuitive user interface, and seamless integration with most dental CAD/CAM systems.

Price: Starting at $18,000
Features: Provides entry-level access to the 3Shape ecosystem; slightly fewer features than higher-end models but still highly accurate.
Best For: Practices that want a foothold in digital dentistry but don’t require advanced features.
iTero Element Flex
Price: Around $25,000
Features: Portable solution with integration capabilities for orthodontics and Invisalign treatments.
Best For: Orthodontic practices looking for mobility and Invisalign compatibility.
Renew Digital is also an authorized CPO dealer of iTero Element scanners. They offer a complete iTero Element Flex package, including scanner, laptop, and bundled warranty and integration teams starting at $9,995+Tax+Shipping for a limited time and based on availability. Your purchase price also includes a 3D-optimized laptop for true “plug-and-play” operation. These scanners are supported just like new ones, with a dedicated team of service and support staff, giving you the same performance as a new unit.
These scanners also come with the myiTero software subscription and basic Invisalign access, all with no recurring costs. This means you’ll have no monthly fees on your software, subscription, and warranty.
